Instant Coffee Lyophilization Plant
A QS-FD-200 Premium chamber dries frozen coffee-extract granules at low temperature to keep the aroma that makes freeze-dried coffee worth its price.
- Main equipment
- QS-FD-200 Premium
- Shelf area
- ≈ 200 m²
- Cycle
- 24–28 h
- Residual moisture
- Target ≤ 3 %
Project goal
Dry frozen coffee granules without collapse, keep aroma volatiles, and give operators full batch traceability.
Process flow
- Extraction & concentration (customer side)
- Foaming & slab freezing
- Granulating frozen slabs
- Sieving & tray loading
- Freeze drying in QS-FD-200 Premium
- Sieving & blending
- Nitrogen-flushed packing
Design decisions
- Premium configuration with deep cold trap and data logging for every batch.
- Low product temperature during primary drying to protect volatiles.
- Granulation room kept at sub-zero temperature to prevent melt-back.
- Optional second chamber position reserved in the layout.
Utilities
380 V three-phase power, water-cooled refrigeration, sub-zero granulation room, nitrogen supply for packing.
Typical timeline
| Weeks 1–3 | Extract trial and cycle development |
|---|---|
| Weeks 4–6 | Engineering and layout approval |
| Weeks 7–16 | Manufacturing and factory acceptance test |
| Weeks 17–22 | Installation, commissioning and training |
This is a reference configuration. Final layout, capacity and lead time depend on your product, site and utilities, and are confirmed in your proposal.
