FAQs
What makes the Harvest Right Pharmaceutical Freeze Dryer different from standard freeze dryers?
+
The Pharmaceutical Freeze Dryer is specifically engineered for preserving delicate botanical and pharmaceutical compounds. It uses precise vacuum pressure and temperature control to maintain enzymes, terpenes, and active compounds without applying heat. This makes it ideal for herbs, oils, medicines, and other sensitive materials where potency and appearance must be preserved.
How long does a typical freeze-dry cycle take?
+
A complete freeze-dry cycle typically takes 20-24 hours, depending on the material being processed and its moisture content. The unit handles everything automatically once started, requiring minimal supervision during the process.
Should I choose the Premier oil pump or upgrade to the oil-free pump?
+
The included Premier pump offers excellent performance and requires oil changes every 20-25 batches (approximately 2 minutes per change). If you prefer a maintenance-free experience, the oil-free pump upgrade ($1495) eliminates all oil changes while maintaining reliable operation. Choose the oil-free option if you're processing frequently or want truly hands-off operation.
What is the actual processing capacity of the Small Pharmaceutical model?
+
The Small model can process 3.75-5 lbs of wet material per cycle across its five stainless steel trays (3.75 sq ft total tray space). This translates to approximately 0.9-1.25 lbs of finished dry product, depending on the initial moisture content of your material.
What electrical requirements does this unit have?
+
The Small Pharmaceutical Freeze Dryer operates on standard 110-volt household power. It requires a dedicated 20-amp circuit for optimal performance. No special electrical installation or 220V service is needed, making it accessible for most home or small commercial settings.
How do I maintain the freeze dryer and vacuum pump?
+
With the Premier oil pump, you'll need to change the oil every 20-25 batches (a simple 2-minute process). The freeze dryer chamber should be wiped clean between batches and periodically sanitized. The oil filter should be replaced as needed. If you upgrade to the oil-free pump, maintenance is virtually eliminated—just keep the unit clean and check door seals periodically.
What warranty coverage is included?
+
Harvest Right includes a comprehensive 3-year warranty. The first year covers full parts and labor for the entire unit and vacuum pump. Years two and three provide limited warranty coverage specifically for the sealed refrigeration system (compressor, condenser, evaporator, and tubing). This warranty applies to the continental U.S. 48 states.
Can I upgrade from the Small to a Medium or Large model later if my needs grow?
+
While the units themselves aren't upgradeable, many users start with the Small model to establish their processes and workflows, then add a larger unit as production scales. The Small model is perfect for testing, small batches, and specialized runs even after acquiring a larger unit. Your vacuum pump can potentially be used with a different size unit if needed.
