Our industrial freeze dryer series includes SDG1600, SDG3000 and SDG6000 models for large food production projects requiring 1.2–8 tons of wet material handling capacity per 24 hours.
Compare wet material capacity, steam demand, electric power, site space, shipping scale and installation requirements before planning an industrial freeze-drying project.
Use the pilot lab freeze dryer for 60–120 kg / 24h testing, or review commercial freeze dryer models for 340 kg–1.36 tons / 24h production before industrial scale.
An industrial freeze dryer is suitable when the product process has been confirmed and the buyer needs large daily output, factory-level installation planning, steam supply, power distribution, water supply, drainage and long-term production management.
Industrial freeze-drying projects require more than machine selection. Buyers should confirm steam, electricity, height, floor load, drainage, unloading access and maintenance space before delivery.
Start with your daily wet material load. SDG1600 is suitable for entry-level industrial production, SDG3000 is suitable for medium-large industrial output, and SDG6000 is designed for large factory-scale freeze-drying projects.
For food manufacturers moving from high commercial output to industrial freeze-drying production.
For large food factories that need stable multi-ton daily wet material processing capacity.
For large-scale industrial freeze-drying plants that require high daily output and full factory-level project planning.

Choose by wet material load first, then confirm steam supply, site space, power distribution, shipping condition and expected daily production plan.
SDG1600, SDG3000 and SDG6000 share the same industrial freeze-drying design logic. The main difference is daily wet material capacity, site space, total power, steam demand and shipping scale.
Typical drying time for many food products under suitable loading and process conditions.
Designed for industrial freeze-dried food production with controlled final moisture.
Fast vacuum-down speed supports industrial freeze-drying preparation.
High condenser capture capacity supports stable vapor capture.
Radiation heating helps transfer heat more evenly across large tray areas.
Steam defrosting supports large-scale industrial operation.
Computer-based control supports clearer process operation and remote management.
Mobile remote control and monitoring help production teams manage operation status.
These design details support stable drying quality, process monitoring and long-term industrial production.
Stainless steel construction improves corrosion resistance during freezing, drying, vapor condensation and steam defrosting.
Condenser capture capacity ≥2 kg H₂O/m²/h supports stable vapor capture during large-scale food freeze-drying.
The control system supports touchscreen HMI, PC remote control, mobile monitoring, and condenser temperature and pressure records.
Industrial freeze dryers require coordinated planning for steam, power, drainage, floor load, access space and maintenance space.
SDG1600, SDG3000 and SDG6000 require multi-container shipment and project delivery planning before installation.
Large chambers and components require suitable lifting equipment, loading access and container planning for safe delivery.
Industrial freeze dryers use electric power plus steam. Therefore, buyers should not evaluate operating cost by electric power only.
The average reference consumption is about 1.1 kWh + 1.5 kg steam per kg of wet material. Actual consumption may vary depending on product moisture content, slice thickness, loading density, freezing condition, drying profile, steam pressure, defrosting frequency and target final moisture.

Before choosing SDG1600, SDG3000 or SDG6000, buyers should confirm product name, slice thickness, loading density, target final moisture, expected daily wet material output, steam supply and available factory space. If the product process is not validated yet, start with SDG60 or SDG90 pilot lab testing first.
An industrial freeze dryer should be selected based on real product data, steam supply condition and factory installation planning, not only tray area or chamber size.
Send Product Testing DetailsFinal model selection depends on product moisture content, slice thickness, tray loading density, drying profile, steam supply and target daily wet material output.

SDG1600 handles 1.2–2 tons wet material per 24 hours, SDG3000 handles 3–4 tons wet material per 24 hours, and SDG6000 handles 6–8 tons wet material per 24 hours. The main differences are capacity, site space, machine weight, power, steam demand and shipping scale.
It means wet fresh material before freeze-drying. Final dried product weight depends on the moisture content of the raw material.
Typical drying time is 8–15 hours. Actual drying time depends on product type, moisture content, slice thickness, loading density, freezing condition, steam supply and target final moisture.
The target final moisture is <3%, depending on product type and drying process settings.
SDG1600, SDG3000 and SDG6000 can reach 133 Pa in less than 18 minutes.
The average reference consumption is about 1.1 kWh + 1.5 kg steam per kg of wet material. Actual consumption depends on the product, process conditions, steam system and defrosting frequency.
SDG1600 requires about 80–120 m². SDG3000 requires about 150–200 m². SDG6000 requires about 180–250 m². The factory height should be greater than 5 m.
Yes. These industrial models use electric power plus steam. Steam is also used for steam defrosting. The required steam pressure is 0.5–0.7 MPa, and peak steam demand depends on the model.
Yes. The system supports touchscreen computer-based HMI, PC remote control, mobile remote control and monitoring, and real-time condenser temperature and pressure monitoring with records.
SDG1600 is positioned as an entry-level industrial freeze dryer. It overlaps with the upper commercial range, but it is better suited for buyers who need 1.2–2 tons / 24h capacity with steam-supported factory planning, larger site preparation, and industrial installation requirements. If the project only needs electric-powered commercial batch production under 1.36 tons / 24h, review the commercial freeze dryer page first.
