Lyophilizer is a kind of vacuum freeze-drying equipment, which is widely used in food, medicine, chemical industry, and other industries. Because it dries the material at low temperature in a vacuum environment, it well retains the original color, aroma and taste of the material. As well as nutrients such as elements, it is convenient for transportation and storage. It is understood that freeze-dried items at room temperature can be stored for up to 3 years without deterioration.

But lyophilizer price is relatively expensive, compared to other drying equipment, such as dryers, drying machines, heat pumps, etc. are much more expensive.
 
Lyophilizer is a high-tech product that integrates many systems. The entire lyophilizer system generally includes vacuum system, automatic control system, refrigeration system, circulation system and hydraulic system. Each system consumes high-cost accessories, and the cost is very high, so his  The comprehensive price will certainly not be too low.
 
As far as I know, the vacuum pump is basically between 2,000 and 30,000 U.S. dollars. Most of the electronic instrument panels use foreign brands, which are also a few thousand dollars. The hydraulic pump is probably thousands of dollars. Almost all the components themselves are not cheap.
 

Why is lyophilizer price so expensive?

Ability to maintain raw material biometrics
Lyophilizer is a new type of low-temperature drying equipment. It dries materials in a vacuum and low-temperature environment, so it can well retain the original biological characteristics of the product, such as color, shape, smell and nutritional content, so it is very popular.  But it is also more expensive
 

Superior to other drying equipment

Compared with traditional high-temperature drying equipment such as ovens, heat pump equipment, and dryers, the lyophilizer price is much more expensive, because it is not only a drying equipment, but also integrates heat, vacuum, refrigeration, pressure vessel manufacturing and automatic control technologies.  It is a high-tech product, the production cost is higher, and the price is naturally more expensive.  In addition, compared with traditional drying equipment, the drying effect of vacuum lyophilizer is better than ordinary drying equipment, so the price will be more expensive.
 

Equipment maintenance cost

Coupled with labor costs, advertising costs, maintenance costs, transportation costs, etc., the cost of a machine is really not low, and the price of all lyophilizers is high.  Compared with general appliances, such as air conditioners, refrigerators, etc., it is much more expensive.
 

The lyophilizer is an output machine

The lyophilizer is an output machine, that is to say, it can help us make money. It can freeze-dry food, medicine, etc., and we can sell the freeze-dried finished product for money. If it sells well, it will pay off in one year.  It's a way to make money, but the air conditioner doesn't work, and the refrigerator doesn't work either. They are pure consumables, they can only cool us down and freeze things for us, but they can't help us make money.  This is why the lyophilizer price is so expensive.

What are the influencing factors of lyophilizer price?

Lyophilizer price is relatively expensive, but the price gap is also relatively large, the price is affected by many factors, so what are the factors affecting lyophilizer price?
 
1. The product price of vacuum freeze dryer will be affected by brand factors. Different brands will have different prices. The price of vacuum lyophilizers of big brands will be more expensive. It mainly depends on the strength of the company producing the brand, industry reputation, etc.  factor.
 
2. Secondly, the core components of lyophilize
The refrigeration system will also affect the price of the product. The refrigeration system is the main part of the lyophilizer. Depending on the system and process, the price ranges from 20 million to tens of thousands of dollars.
 
3. The influencing factors of lyophilizer price are its parameters, including working temperature, vacuum degree, freeze-drying area, cooling rate, etc. These factors will affect the actual price of lyophilizer.
 
The more expensive the vacuum lyophilizer, the better
 
When buying a vacuum lyophilizer, the more expensive the lyophilizer price, the higher its performance parameters. However, it is not necessary to buy an expensive lyophilizer, such as a household food lyophilizer. There is no need to compare performance with the laboratory lyophilizer price, the price is too high  No matter how good the performance is, it is a waste.
 
Generally speaking, when purchasing a lyophilizer, the purchase budget is mainly based on the products that need to be freeze-dried. The price is not the only factor that determines the quality of the lyophilizer, but also depends on the actual performance and parameters.
 
Well, the above is the analysis of ZZKD, why the lyophilizer price is so expensive, thank you everyone.
