Harvest Right Trays
The expanded tray space is a key feature that significantly enhances the capacity of Harvest Right Freeze Dryers. This means you can freeze dry more food items simultaneously, making the process more efficient and time-saving.
For example, the small Harvest Right freeze dryer boasts an impressive total tray space of 434 square inches, with each tray measuring 7.75” W x 14” L x 0.75” H. This generous tray space allows you to process a variety of foods in a single batch, from fruits and vegetables to meats and complete meals.
The thoughtful design of these trays ensures that your food is evenly exposed to the freeze-drying process, resulting in consistently high-quality preserved items.
Harvest Right Vacuum Pump
The industrial vacuum pump accompanying Harvest Right Freeze Dryers is instrumental in boosting the efficiency and reliability of the freeze-drying process.
But how exactly does it achieve this? The pump’s primary function is to reduce the pressure inside the freeze dryer, creating an environment where moisture can evaporate more quickly and efficiently from the frozen food. This rapid removal of moisture is crucial for preserving the food’s structure, flavor, and nutritional content.
The industrial-grade pump contributes to the overall reliability of the freeze-drying process by maintaining consistent low pressure throughout the cycle. This consistency is key to achieving uniform results across different types of foods and batch sizes, ensuring that whether you’re preserving fruits, vegetables, or complete meals, you’ll get the same high-quality results every time.

What Food's Cannot Be Freeze Dried?
The ability of Harvest Right Freeze Dryer to preserve a wide range of food items is one of its most intriguing aspects. This isn’t just a one-trick pony – it’s a versatile tool that can handle a wide range of items.
The possibilities are nearly endless. And the best part is that freeze-drying preserves almost all of the nutritional value and flavor of the food.
However, there are a few foods that aren't recommended to be freeze dried:
- Mayonnaise
- Butter
- Fatty meats
- Jams and jellies
- Meat containing bones
- Pure chocolate
- Honey
- Coffee beans
How long does Harvest Right Take to Freeze Dry?
It generally takes between 20 to 40 hours to complete the freeze drying process. The type of food and quantity will affect the freeze-dry cycle. Things like meat, peas and corn will dry quickly, while a super moist food like watermelon or squash will take longer. The thickness of the food also affects the cycle time.
Your machine will sense when the food is ready (you'll hear a beep) so you don’t need to guess when to stop the freeze-dry cycle.
