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-10’s approximate 11 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 980 × 565 × 950 mm and weighs 170 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 OL-10 has six trays and an approximate capacity of 11 kg of fresh material per batch. Actual loading depends on the material’s size, thickness and arrangement on the trays.
Does 11 kg mean 11 kg of finished product?
No. The 11kg 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 670 × 256 × 25 mm, with 40 mm of clearance between shelves. Check the dimensions of your prepared material before choosing a model.
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-10 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
