How can I decrease the freeze time?

Decreasing the freeze time in your Harvest Right freeze dryer can help you process batches more efficiently. While there is no direct setting that will reduce the amount of time your batch freezes for, here are some steps and tips that may reduce the freezing time:

1. Room Temperature

  • Ensure the room temperature is between 45-75°F. Higher temperatures can slow down the freezing process, especially during the summer months.

2. Load Size:

  • Avoid overloading the trays. Smaller, uniform pieces of food freeze faster than larger or thicker items.

3. Pre-Freeze Food

  • Consider pre-freezing your food in a regular freezer before placing it in the freeze dryer. This can help speed up the initial freezing phase.

4. Maintain Your Freeze Dryer

  • Regularly clean and maintain your freeze dryer to ensure it operates efficiently.
