Vacuum Dryer For Vegetables
Examples for the use of Busch vacuum technology in freeze drying applications
Busch vacuum pumps are used worldwide for the freeze drying of foodstuffs like fruits, soups, and noodles. Our COBRA, R5, and vacuum boosters are employed in freeze drying of instant coffee, which is a harsh application due to the risk of carryover of coffee into the vacuum pumps. They are also used for the freeze drying of sensitive biologically active substances in the pharma and biopharma industries. A more exotic application is the drying of water-damaged old books and scrolls. Busch vacuum pumps have even been used to dry a longship. The latter was brought to the surface from the bottom of a lake where it had been buried for centuries.
