The LONKIA Chicken Freeze Dryer is a professional freeze drying machine designed for processing chicken and chicken-based products. It is suitable for freeze-dried chicken breast, cubes, dices, chicken powder, and freeze-dried pet chicken products. Using vacuum freeze drying technology, moisture is removed by sublimation under low temperature and low pressure, preserving proteins, nutrients, and natural flavor. Freeze-dried chicken offers long shelf life, light weight, and excellent rehydration.
Overview
Chicken is a high-protein, low-fat meat widely used in both human food and pet food industries. Traditional drying methods often cause nutrient loss and tough texture, while freeze drying technology removes moisture at low temperature, preserving structure and nutritional value.
LONKIA chicken freeze dryers are optimized for the fine fibers and high moisture content of chicken, offering precise temperature control, stable vacuum performance, and uniform drying for various production requirements.
How a Freeze Dryer Works?
Food freeze dryer machines remove moisture from chicken through low-temperature freezing and vacuum sublimation technology, enabling long-term preservation while maintaining the product's original structure and nutritional value. The entire process primarily consists of three core stages:
- Pre-freezing StageFresh chicken is rapidly cooled to approximately -30°C to -40°C upon entering the chicken freeze dryer, causing internal moisture to freeze completely into ice crystals. This step stabilizes the chicken's tissue structure, preparing it for subsequent drying.
- Vacuum Sublimation Drying StageThe equipment activates its vacuum system to reduce chamber pressure while slowly heating the trays. Under low pressure, ice crystals within the chicken directly sublimate from a solid state into water vapor. This vapor is captured and expelled by the condensation system, removing the majority of moisture.
- Deep Drying StageAfter primary moisture removal, the equipment continues low-temperature drying to eliminate residual trace moisture, achieving a stable low moisture content in the product.
Through this freeze drying process, the chicken develops a porous structure. Not only does its weight significantly decrease, but it also exhibits excellent rehydration properties, effectively preserving its original texture and nutritional value.
