What makes us Different: Here at Blue Alpine, we are serious about three things: freeze dryers, quality, and customer service. We are never satisfied with the status quo and we push for improvement through researching, engineering, and testing. A lot of minor improvements add up to a huge difference in quality. Ultimately our machines are simply superior. 25% more cooling capacity, which translates to up to 25% faster batches. Built In Idaho by technicians who hold themselves to a higher standard. A circulating fan inside the chamber blast-freezes the food, creating better quality food and faster freeze times. A P100 filter inside the chamber protects your vacuum pump from particulates, increasing the lifespan of the vacuum pump. The trays are a food industry standard size (quarter sheet pan, 9x13), so you can easily buy more pans from your local stores. Each machine goes through several hours of quality control tests to make sure every component of the machine is operating within normal parameters before it ships. Smart software utilizes PID control technology and solid-state relays to accurately freeze-dry your food. We use a natural refrigerant (R1270) that is future-proof, unlike R404 or R410 which will be discontinued soon. On our machine, all vacuum fittings are barbed fittings. We do not use crimped fittings which are prone to vacuum leaks. We use thread-locker to seal all threads. We do not use Teflon Tape which is also leak-prone. The frame of our machines is made with extruded aluminum and is incredibly durable. Recipes built into the software allow you to optimize your freeze-drying cycles. Candy, for example, can get done in about 2 hours. Fruit, on the other hand, takes about 6-18 hours depending on the load. The bottom tray has a higher wattage heating pad so the bottom tray stays the same temp as the rest. If we send out a bad machine we don't hide behind warranty fine print. We own our mistake and make it right The Blue Alpine Medium Freeze dryer has standard 9x13 pans that can be found at any store that sells cookie sheets.
