The Industrial Pump for the Harvest Right freeze dryer offers superior performance, reliability, and energy efficiency compared to standard models. Here are its key features:

Key Features:

• Tray Space: 10.25 square feet of tray space, nearly double the capacity of Harvest Right’s standard Large freeze dryer.
• Shelf Unit: Includes shelves for 8 trays (each tray 9″ W x 20.5″ L x 0.75″ H).
• Ice Capacity: Can handle up to 6 liters of ice.

Vacuum Pump Specifications:

• Factory Tested: Guaranteed to pull 25 microns (25,400 microns = 1 inch of Hg) or better.
• Oil: Requires Harvest Right Oil, Robinair Premium High Vacuum Pump Oil, or JB Industries Black Gold Vacuum Pump Oil only.
• Voltage: Standard 115V, 60Hz, energy-efficient DC motor.
• Dimensions: 16.3″ x 6″ x 12.1″.
• Weight: 32 lbs.
• Noise Level: 52 decibels, equivalent to a refrigerator's sound.

Oil Changes:

• Rarely Needed: The gas ballast feature prevents water accumulation in the oil, making oil changes unnecessary for 25-40 batches.
• Standard Pump Comparison: Requires oil changes every 4-5 batches when using a 3/8-inch vacuum hose.

Vacuum Pressure:

• Cold Conditions: Industrial Pump pulls a deeper vacuum (.05 Pascal) compared to the Standard Pump (.08 Pascal).
• Warm Conditions: The Industrial Pump outperforms the Standard Pump, pulling a .05 Pascal vacuum in warm environments versus 2.05 Pascal in the Standard Pump.

Additional Advantages:

• Quiet Operation: The Industrial Pump operates at 52 decibels, quieter than the Standard Pump's 64 decibels.
• Oil Mist Filter: Prevents oil spray, with a longer lifespan compared to the Standard Pump’s filter.
• Power Usage: More efficient, using 187 watts versus 218 watts in the Standard Pump.
• Amperage: The Industrial Pump draws 1.7 amps under high vacuum, less than the Standard Pump's 2.1 amps.
• Portability: Weighs 5 pounds less than the Standard Pump, making it easier to move.
• Longevity: The Industrial Pump is built to last longer, with more durability than the Standard Pump.

Warranty:

• 3-Year Limited Warranty ensures reliable performance and protection.

The Industrial Pump offers a quieter, more efficient, and durable solution for Freeze Dryer applications, providing optimal performance in both cold and warm environments.
