Foodynamics

Our Technology

Industry-Leading Freeze-Drying Equipment

At Foodynamics we may have started small but we are continuously investing in expanded capacity to meet demand and are committed to scaling alongside your brand— We only rely on serious cutting-edge technology from Parker Freeze Dry to produce superior, freeze-dried products that elevate every stage of our process. Each commercial-grade freeze dryer is precision-engineered and hand-assembled in Beresford, South Dakota, USA, by a dedicated team of skilled craftsmen and seasoned industry professionals. This commitment to quality ensures consistent performance, reliability, and excellence in every batch.

Our Technology

Foodynamics freeze dryers from Parker Freeze Dry support batch sizes ranging from 97 lbs to 2,500 lbs, each equipped with advanced vacuum systems, industry-leading control interfaces, and high-efficiency vapor condenser plates. We are continuously investing in expanded capacity to meet demand and are committed to scaling alongside your brand—

Foodynamics Parker Summit Unit Used For Research & Development and Small Batches: (This commercial system offers a capacity of up to 97.5 lbs of wet weight with a maximum of 15 individually heated trays.)
Foodynamics Parker 6 has a capacity of six of our heated carts, with a wet weight of 1500 lbs.
Foodynamics Parker 10R freeze dryer has the same capacity as the Parker 10 model but adds a secondary booster pump to assist with deeper more consistent vacuum. It also utilizes double the cold plates on the interior of the chamber increasing the ratio of cold plate area to product surface area.

CHAMBER

Parker Freeze Dry vacuum chambers are made of heavy duty Stainless Steel, built in a variety of sizes to fit your production needs. The glass bead blasted finish provides easy to clean surfaces throughout the chamber.

CONTROLS

Allen Bradley PLC and Controls make the unit easy to operate by including a graphic overview of the entire system. Features full automation to ramp or reduce heat to control sublimation to preset parameters. Full control of the vacuum, refrigeration system, and data logging allow for trend analysis and cycle development. Optional cart control allows for varying temperatures among individual carts to optimize processing differentiated products within that cycle.

VACUUM SYSTEM

Leybold Dry Screw vacuum pumps and boosters achieve deep vacuum throughout the process, eliminating oil back steaming risk. They require less frequent maintenance and repairs.

HEATED CARTS & CARTRIDGES

Carts are aluminum-constructed for maximum heat exchange efficiency utilizing standard sized baking trays. Available in our standard 42-H configuration, or the 34-H for additional clearance in between the trays.

REFRIGERATION
CONDENSER SKID

The Magna Condenser Unit from Heatcraft is an industrial grade condenser unit custom designed specifically for Parker Freeze Dry. For best results, it should be located outdoors and within 60ft of your chamber.

VAPOR CONDENSER PLATES

Aluminum plates in parallel circuits form a direct expansion refrigeration coil. The high ratio of cold plate surface to capacity achieves quality freeze drying. During post-process residual ice is defrosted by recirculating hot gas.
