Removing water quickly is very important because the longer a harvested plant or compound retains water, the higher the chance it has of spoiling, losing nutrition, and losing potency.
Hence, the Premier Pump is especially not affected by warm, ambient conditions. When temperatures rise, it will pull a vacuum far better than the Standard Pump. The Premier Pump is just not affected by outside heat. It pulls the same deep vacuum even when it is in a warm environment.
The current and emerging food crisis in the United States has millions of Americans very concerned about the future. From supply chain shenanigans to food processing plants “inexplicably” being compromised to bird flu decimating the poultry industry, it’s pelo wonder there has been a sharp rise in the “prepper” food industry.
So, call us today for a free estimate and, if you’ve the time, a friendly conversation with one of our representatives, who will pelo doubt be eager to learn about your situation when it comes to all things appliance-related.
The appliances that you buy will need to be specifically determined by your kitchen space, and the types of food that plan to be be serving.
On that point, I was first introduced to home freeze dryers while overseeing the guard force at the Embassy in Baghdad.
Investing in a freeze dryer is not just about saving money; it's about gaining the skills and resources to become more self-reliant and prepared for whatever life throws your way. So, invest in your self-reliance journey – your future self will thank you!
Used freeze-dryers can be purchased from previous owners, or sometimes the manufacturer will have returned units refurbished for sale.
The differing vacuum levels during the system tests would be consistent with either a door seal leak or an drain valve leak.
So the bottom line is this: If you can afford the money, space, and time to spend on freeze-drying your own food and you believe the need for the food is many months or years away, then eventually the Harvest Right freeze dryer will pay for itself.
Is it flash freezing and dehydrating at the same time? Do the items need to be kept frozen, or stored at room temp?
Dehydrators take the water off the surface first, then water eqilibrates with the surface, more water is drawn off the surface. You are left with a shrunken item, with some residual water. Makes gorgeous leather.
I am looking for a more defined "heuristic" curve based upon the internal temperature. I am sure that your engineers probably have tables for such things. I also know get more info that different foods freeze at different rates, that is why I am asking for a heuristic answer.
Without an pump isolation valve I would expect some air to flow back into the chamber through the pump resulting in the steady rise you witnessed. I saw the same phenomenon before I installed an isolation valve on my pump.
