GPC Cuddon Freeze Dryer range

Cuddon Freeze Dry has launched the GPC Cuddon Freeze Dryer range, which has been optimised for natural CO₂ refrigerant without any loss of performance and designed to achieve a significant reduction in environmental impact.

Design improvements to the product chamber and robotic manufacturing processes have reduced manufacture times while increasing product capacity by nearly 30%.

Smart engineering has facilitated lower shelf temperatures of -35°C, while a fully incorporated heat recovery system harvests the ejected heat from the refrigeration system and uses it to heat the defrost water and product shelves.

Together with the anodised aluminium product trays and an upgraded smart control system, the result is a significant drop in the power consumption of this traditionally power-hungry drying process.

The range is designed to freeze-dry more product in a shorter cycle time, with lower operational energy and refrigerant costs.
