Harvest Right - 3/8″ Hose or Insert


3/8″ Hose or Insert by Harvest Right

Replace your current 3/4" hose with the new 3/8" hose to help prevent water and particulates from entering your vacuum pump.

Harvest Right Freeze dryers purchased between January 1, 2015, and November 30, 2019, can replace their current 3/4″ vacuum hose with the new 3/8″ hose. Be sure to check the fittings on your freeze dryer (see image gallery) to make sure this hose is compatible. If you have a different fitting than what is shown, you should purchase the hose insert instead. With this upgrade, you only need to change your oil every 4-5 batches, depending on the quality of your oil. Freeze dryers shipped after December 1, 2019 (and all oil-free pump owners) should already have the new hose or hose insert.

1. What is a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer?

A Harvest Right Freeze Dryer is a home freeze drying unit that can be used to preserve a wide range of food, including fruits, vegetables, meats, and even complete meals. It works by removing moisture from the food through a process called sublimation, resulting in shelf-stable food that can last for years.

2. How does a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer work?

A Harvest Right Freeze Dryer uses a combination of vacuum technology and low temperatures to remove moisture from food. The food is frozen and then placed in the drying chamber, where a vacuum pump removes the moisture from the food. The temperature is gradually increased to speed up the sublimation process, resulting in completely dry food that can be stored for long periods of time.

3. What types of food can be freeze-dried with a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer?

A Harvest Right Freeze Dryer can be used to freeze dry a wide range of foods, including fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, and even complete meals. Some popular freeze-dried items include strawberries, bananas, chicken, beef, and spaghetti.

4. How long does the freeze-drying process take?

The freeze-drying process can take anywhere from 20 to 40 hours, depending on the type of food and the amount being dried. Some larger items, such as whole fruits or meats, may take longer to freeze dry than smaller items.

5. What is the shelf life of freeze-dried food?

Freeze-dried food can last for years if stored properly. It should be kept in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to prevent moisture from re-entering the food.

6. Can I use my Harvest Right Freeze Dryer to make emergency food storage?

Yes, a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer is an excellent tool for creating emergency food storage. Freeze-dried food is lightweight, compact, and can last for years, making it an ideal choice for emergency situations.

7. What is the capacity of a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer?

Harvest Right Freeze Dryers come in several different sizes, ranging from a small unit that can hold 4-7 pounds of food to a large unit that can hold up to 16-20 pounds of food at a time. The size you choose will depend on your specific needs and how much food you want to freeze dry at once.

8. Is it difficult to operate a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer?

No, a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer is very user-friendly and easy to operate. It comes with detailed instructions, and most people find that it is straightforward to use after a little bit of practice.

9. Does a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer require any special maintenance?

A Harvest Right Freeze Dryer requires minimal maintenance. It should be cleaned after each use, and the oil in the vacuum pump should be changed every 25 hours of operation. Other than that, the unit should work smoothly with regular use.

10. Can I use my Harvest Right Freeze Dryer to make pet food?

Yes, a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer can be used to make freeze-dried pet food. Many pet owners appreciate the convenience of being able to make their own pet food, and freeze-drying can help preserve nutrients and flavors in the food.
