Freeze-Drying Yield Calculator
Estimate your finished product weight from fresh ingredients.
Estimates only. Actual yields vary by ingredient and processing conditions. Results are not guaranteed per-batch output. Check machine capacity and tray space.
A few extras for your first batches
This product comes with 50 packets of desiccant, 2 silicone molds, 50 food-grade resealable bags, and an electric sealer—all at no extra cost. You can use these molds to try making products in different shapes, then package and label your finished products. These starter gifts make it easy for you to get started creating your own products.
Plan for finished yield, not just fresh load
The OL-05’s approximate 5 kg batch load refers to fresh material going into the machine. Finished weight depends on moisture content, preparation and the result you want. As one planning example, 1 kg of fresh strawberries may yield approximately 90–110 g. Use our yield guide for more examples, then test your own material before setting production targets or selling prices
What is freeze drying?
Food is frozen, then moisture is removed under a vacuum. The result is often light, crisp food.
Freeze dryer
Freezes food first, then removes moisture under a vacuum.
Dehydrator
Uses warm air. The result is often denser or chewier.
Texture varies by food and preparation.

How much space do I need?
The machine itself measures 760 × 490 × 820 mm and weighs 90 kg net. Plan additional space for the vacuum pump, airflow, opening the door and handling the trays.
How much can I process in one batch?
The approximate load is 5 kg of fresh material per batch. The amount you can load depends on the ingredient, its size and how you arrange it on the five trays.
Does 5 kg mean 5 kg of finished product?
No. The 5 kg figure refers to fresh material going into the machine. Finished weight varies with the material’s moisture content and your process. Use test batches to estimate output for your own products.
What size are the trays?
Each tray measures 495 × 202 × 25 mm. The clearance between shelves is 40 mm. Check the size of your prepared ingredients against these measurements before ordering.
Can the voltage and plug be customized?
Yes. We offer voltage and plug customization at no additional charge. Tell us your destination country and facility’s electrical requirements before ordering so we can confirm the correct configuration for your machine.
What warranty and after-sales support do you provide?
The OL-05 comes with a one-year whole-machine warranty. For issues covered by the warranty, we will send the required replacement parts free of charge. You will need to replace the parts yourself or arrange a local technician to carry out the repair. Contact us by email or WhatsApp with your order details and a description of the issue so we can help identify the required parts.
