❄️ “How long does a freeze-drying cycle take?” - that’s one of the questions we hear most often.
The answer💡? It mainly depends on the product’s porosity. Porosity determines how efficiently ice crystals can leave the product during sublimation and travel to the traps.
That’s why two products with a similar weight can require completely different cycle times.
How do you deal with it?
That’s where our Cook Book (https://leosmak.com/pl/support) 📘 comes in - a collection of recipes and process guidelines with recommended parameters and estimated freeze-drying times for specific products.
Practical knowledge, proven settings, and less guesswork - that’s exactly why we created it. 🔬
