What is Included:
Freeze Dry Candy Faster (Food Too)
Speed up your candy freeze-drying with the Blue Alpine Freeze Dryer! Users have the flexibility to set the pressure limit for each recipe. This lets the candy undergo the freeze-drying process at a significantly faster rate compared to other foods. With the Blue Alpine, you can freeze-dry Skittles in as little as a couple of hours! Additionally, our freeze dryer includes a distinctive “Candy Prewarm” feature designed specifically for certain hard candies like Jolly Ranchers, providing the extra heat needed to puff up and facilitate the freeze-drying process.

What makes Blue Alpine Freeze Dryer Medium Different:
- 25% more cooling capacity, which translates to up to 25% faster batches.
- Built In Idaho by technicians who hold themselves to a higher standard.
- A circulating fan inside the chamber blast-freezes the food, creating better quality food and faster freeze times.
- A P100 filter inside the chamber protects your vacuum pump from particulates, increasing the lifespan of the vacuum pump.
- The trays are a food industry standard size (quarter sheet pan, 9×13), so you can easily buy more pans from your local stores.
- Each machine goes through several hours of quality control tests to make sure every component of the machine is operating within normal parameters before it ships.
- Smart software utilizes PID control technology and solid-state relays to accurately freeze-dry your food.
- We use a natural refrigerant (R1270) that is future-proof, unlike R404 or R410 which will be discontinued soon.
- On our machine, all vacuum fittings are barbed fittings. We do not use crimped fittings which are prone to vacuum leaks.
- We use a gasket material to seal all threads. We do not use Teflon Tape which is also leak-prone.
- The frame of our machines is made with extruded aluminum and is incredibly durable.
- Recipes built into the software allow you to optimize your freeze-drying cycles. Candy, for example, can get done in about 2 hours. Fruit, on the other hand, takes about 10-18 hours depending on the load.
- The bottom tray has a higher wattage heating pad so the bottom tray stays the same temp as the rest.
- If we send out a bad machine we don’t hide behind warranty fine print. We own our mistake and make it right.
