Traditional vacuum freeze-drying machine usually consists of pre-freezing, drying and condensing and other basic units. These devices can remove moisture from the material in a low-temperature, low-pressure environment, which can maximize the preservation of nutrients, taste and form. However, the existing commercial food vacuum freeze-drying machine has the problems of complex structure, inconvenient operation and low energy efficiency, which leads to low efficiency in large-scale production and high equipment maintenance cost.
[0003] The commercial food vacuum freeze-drying machine on the current market mostly uses single material and freezing method, lacks efficient temperature and humidity control system, often leading to unstable quality of freeze-dried food. In addition, many existing devices do not fully consider the temperature uniformity and energy utilization efficiency in the food processing process, which affects the stability and production efficiency of the product. Therefore, how to improve the integration, intelligence and energy-saving performance of the freeze-drying machine has become the key to improving the quality and production efficiency of food freeze-drying.
