Wave FD440 Professional Freeze Dryer

£31,750.00

Introducing the Wave FD440, a robust and efficient Professional freeze dryer designed to meet the rigorous demands of commercial food preservation and processing. Engineered with precision in Austria, the FD440 offers a perfect balance of capacity and energy efficiency. With its advanced Siemens control system and modular design, this machine ensures consistent, high-quality results while maintaining low operational costs.

Key Features

  • High Extraction Capacity: Capable of processing up to 60kg of fresh material per batch with a loading volume of 192 litres.

  • Energy Efficient Operation: Designed for low power usage with an average consumption of just 3 kW/h, significantly reducing overheads compared to similar industrial units.

  • Advanced Control System: Controlled by a Siemens Simatic PLC with a 10" HD colour touchscreen. The interface allows for flexible programming of drying cycles (up to 10 cycles) and provides detailed statistical reporting.

  • Precision Temperature Control: Features individual shelf temperature control ranging from -40°C to +80°C, ensuring uniform drying for sensitive products.

  • Fast Vacuum & Defrost: Reaches maximum vacuum (50 mTorr) in approximately 20 minutes. The electric defrost system (2000W heating mat) clears ice in just 20–40 minutes.

  • Modular & Durable Design: Constructed with a 7mm extruded aluminium vacuum chamber with a hard anodized finish. The unit is stackable and modular, allowing for operation in a cluster.

  • Connectivity: Includes Ethernet and SIM card connectivity for remote maintenance, updates, and monitoring via the WAVE IoT network.
