FREEZE DRYER LIO 280
CE marked device designed for dehydration of agri-food products
Freeze-drying, aka lyophilization, is a process in which water in the form of ice under low pressure is removed from a material by sublimation. This process has found many applications for the production of high quality food and pharmaceuticals.
The primary purpose of freeze drying is to extend the shelf-life of the food and other compounds while maintaining the quality.
