Compare these models side by side
Before you compare on shelf area alone
Shelf area tells you how much tray surface you get, not how thick a layer fits on it. If you dry whole fruit, berries or pieces of meat, check the shelf spacing too. The ice condenser has to hold all the water the batch gives off, so compare its capacity in kg of ice with the water in your load. The pump type and its service interval set what maintenance will cost you.
Frequently asked questions
Should I size a freeze-dryer by shelf area or by batch capacity?
Use both. Shelf area tells you how much tray surface you get; how many kilos fit on it depends on your product and layer thickness. Batch capacity is stated per model as "up to X kg".
What is the cheapest freeze-dryer with 2 to 5 m² of shelf area?
The LIO 140 L, at €10,080 ex-VAT, with 2.3 m².
