Do you have any vacuum gauges at all to test the pump? ( Though I doubt that is the problem based upon your tests )
The food and pharmaceutical industries crucially rely on freeze drying for the long-term storage of products. This method enables businesses to preserve product quality, extend shelf life, and improve stability.
We’ve bought six so far with two more on the way. But families and individuals considering getting their own can and should as long as they go in with their eyes open.
Many times, you can still freeze dry something if you mix it in. For instance, if there’s a meal that has butter in it, it’s fine to freeze dry. It may just reduce the shelf life a little. So instead of 25 year shelf life, it might have a 10 year shelf life.
Freeze dried food is easy to ship Absolutely! That’s one of the benefits of freeze dried food–it’s lightweight so it’s easy and inexpensive to ship!
With various options available in terms of size and capacity, it's crucial to assess your needs before making a decision.

Isolated pump by capping the stack Know More (pelo meter to measure pressure, but pelo bubbling after a very short pumpdown - pump sounded normal for a high vacuum situation)
With increased need for freeze-dried products, innovation in freeze-drying processes is evolving. One prominent direction is the implementation of AI and automation in which businesses can track and adjust freeze drying times more easily.

Do you think it's okay to just purchase a reducer to go from the size of the exhaust to the size of the hose that came with the can? Hopefully I said that in a way that makes sense! As well, does it matter which port is used as "in" and which as "out"? Thanks so much, Jen Hi Jen, Sorry to be gone so long. I did exactly as you proposed. I purchased a brass reducer and pushed the blue hose over it.
This is why so many people are buying their own freeze dryers to use at home. The market is essentially cornered by Harvest Right, which isn’t a bad thing since their quality and customer service are both superb.
Have an understanding of which kind of food pretreatment is needed to use the device. To ensure the freeze-drying approach is productive, you’ll must understand how to get ready food.
Of course, if someone used a larger can, say a #10, that is bigger than the top of the container that surrounds the filter and captures the oil, then the "disk" wouldn't be needed at all. In that case, an AN8 fitting might work -- or maybe there are longer ones out there somewhere.
