This machine is delivered as a customized project, with full-service support from planning to installation and commissioning. Availability (EXW, Incoterms 2021): Up to 140 working days from placement of the order.
Highest-volume industrial operations — the largest LEO, supplied as a project.
Up to 600 kg per batch — 22 shelves, 176 trays, 61.49 m² of shelf area.
Configured around your line — designed and delivered to your production needs, and recipes proven on smaller LEO machines carry over.
Heavy-duty and automated — industrial construction for long service life, with automatic controls that keep manual work to a minimum.

Industrial line: a measured ROI, configured to your product
The LEO-600 is configured to your material, site and throughput, so a generic on-page calculator would mislead. Send us your product and target volume and we’ll return a measured cost-per-kg and payback analysis within 2 working days.

Actual results depend on the specific material, recipe, preparation, load and ambient conditions, and may differ. These figures are for planning purposes only; Freeze-drying.tech accepts no responsibility for decisions made on their basis. Freeze-drying.tech can run a validation cycle of your product on the target machine to provide confirmed, measured yield and cycle-time figures.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask.
At industrial scale the LEO-600 is delivered as a tailored project, not an off-the-shelf SKU. Final price depends on configuration, utilities, installation, commissioning and service scope — so it's quoted per project. Tell us your target product, daily output and site and we'll build a costed proposal.
Up to 600 kg of fresh product per batch — 61.49 m² of shelf area across 176 GN 2/1 trays, with a 900 kg ice-condenser. This is high-volume production for food, nutraceutical and ingredient manufacturers running continuous freeze-dried output, not pilot or small-batch work.
Plan for a 3 × 400 V supply (≈95 kW connected, 80 kW nominal), an installed weight around 7 400 kg plus a separate Main Cooling Unit (2000 × 2000 × 2200 mm), and the floor area, access and ventilation that implies. It's air-cooled. We provide a full site-readiness and utilities checklist as part of the project, before anything ships. The room should stay between +10 and +30 °C, with at least 1 m of clearance around ventilation and service access and a drain sized for the full ice load. Industrial units need one service inspection per year.
Oil-free vacuum is standard on this industrial class. That removes oil changes and any oil-migration risk from a continuous, food-grade production environment — the right default at this scale despite the higher pump cost.
As a full-service project: specification, build, delivery, installation, commissioning and operator handover, with 24-month warranty (extendable to 36) and Wi-Fi remote diagnostics. Lead times are project-dependent and confirmed in the proposal — engage us early so capacity lands when you need it.
Established producers industrialising a proven product — premium freeze-dried foods, ingredients, nutraceuticals or pet nutrition — who have outgrown batch machines and need predictable, validated, high-volume capacity. If you're still proving the product, we'll usually steer you to a commercial-class machine first and scale you up to this later.
