Development of food freeze dryers and pet food freeze drying industry
Freeze dryers are core equipment in the industry, and the technical level affects product quality and production efficiency. At present, domestic freeze dryer manufacturers have made breakthroughs in low temperature control, vacuum systems and energy consumption optimization. For example, the intelligent freeze dryer launched by Chinese companies integrates sensors and AI algorithms to achieve precise control of the drying process and reduce energy consumption by more than 30%. In addition, freeze drying technology has developed from single food processing to complex formulas, such as functional pet food with probiotics and collagen to meet market segmentation needs. However, the high initial investment in equipment is still the main obstacle for small and medium-sized enterprises to enter the market.
The freeze drying industry is in a period of transformation. The demand for "clean labels" on the consumer side has forced the reform of the supply chain. For example, freeze-dried rose companies use blockchain technology to trace the petals. Breakthroughs in technical bottlenecks provide new paths for reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
