The Harvest Right Pharmaceutical Pro Freeze Dryer is built for herbs, plant material, extracts and other organic materials that lose potency, color or aroma when dried with heat. It removes water while the material is frozen, so heat-sensitive compounds such as enzymes and terpenes are not cooked off, and it finishes in about 24 hours. Built-in controls hold the vacuum pressure and drying temperature for you, so there is nothing to adjust during a run. It comes in Small, Medium and Large, all in stainless steel, and each ships with a full set of stainless steel trays and an industrial vacuum pump: Premier on the Small and Medium, XL Premier on the Large.
Why it matters
- Dries without heat. Harvest Right notes that heat-based drying destroys enzymes and terpenes; freeze drying does not.
- About seven times faster than air drying, according to Harvest Right.
- Fully automatic. The dryer keeps vacuum pressure and drying temperature at the right level for the material.
- More trays than the home models of the same size: 5, 7 or 8 trays. The Large holds 10.25 sq ft of material, nearly twice the tray space of Harvest Right's standard Large home dryer.
- Stainless steel cabinet and trays are durable and easy to clean.
- Plugs into a standard 110-volt outlet. Expect about 330 W while freezing and 725 W while drying.
