This paper focuses on Orange Mech’s freeze-drying production upgrade plan for well-known German food processing enterprises. Customers have been deeply involved in many pain points of manual freeze-drying. Manual temperature control and charging are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also difficult to control quality control, and the production capacity can’t keep up with the order demand.
Orange Mech, from the professional perspective of a freeze-dryer manufacturer, customizes freeze-drying equipment according to customers’ needs so that customers can not only feel the high cost-performance of freeze-dryer prices but also easily master how to use a freeze-dryer’s operation skills and successfully switch from manual production to automatic freeze-drying mode, achieving a double leap in productivity and quality control.

一.Customer Background

In food processing, production efficiency and product quality are the core competitiveness, and manually operated freeze-drying equipment often becomes a stumbling block on the production road. On November 4th, 2025, Bero Foods, an old German food processing company, sent an inquiry about a freeze-drying machine to Orange Mech through the Google website.

Bero Foods has been deeply involved in the field of freeze-drying processing of fruits and vegetables, pet food, and coffee for many years. Until now, the whole process of freeze-drying has been completed manually, which not only requires a lot of labor costs but also causes the problems of uneven moisture content and different products due to the error of manual operation. Moreover, the small-capacity old equipment can’t keep up with the surge of overseas orders, so it has become the most urgent need for enterprises to automate and scale freeze-drying production.

二.Customer Requirements

Choosing equipment means choosing development, and every demand of customers is to make their company produce more smoothly and produce better products. Combined with the production status of Bero Foods, Bob, the head of Bero Foods, put forward four core requirements to Orange Mech:

The operation of the equipment is simple and easy to use, and the workers in the German factory can quickly master the operation method with complete instructions.

Realize the whole process automation of freeze-drying production, reduce manual participation, reduce labor costs, and improve production efficiency.

The freeze-drying effect of the equipment is stable, which can ensure the consistency of the phase and moisture content of different batches of materials and control the product quality.

Adapt to the freeze-drying processing of fruits and vegetables, coffee, pet food, and other categories to meet the production needs of multi-product lines of enterprises.

三. Orange Mech’s Dedicated Freeze Dryer Solution

After understanding the customer’s needs, Orange Mech immediately developed a special freeze-dryer solution for Bero Foods’ production scenes and pain points so that professional equipment can match the actual production of customers and truly make the equipment serve the production:

The design is reasonable, the freeze-drying area and refrigeration system are integrated into one frame, and the installation is simple. At the same time, a detailed how-to-use a freeze dryer operation manual and video tutorial are provided for customers, and one-on-one remote guidance is arranged for professional technicians to ensure that workers can get started quickly.

Customize a 10-square, cold-well-integrated freeze-dryer for Bob. The equipment is equipped with a computer automatic control system, which can complete the whole process of preheating, refrigeration, vacuumizing, freeze-drying, defrosting, and drainage with one button without manual real-time operation and fundamentally reduce manual input.

The freeze-drying partition is made of anodized aluminum, which makes the refrigeration and heating more uniform, and it is equipped with two two-stage rotary vane vacuum pumps so that the vacuum degree is stable and controllable, effectively avoiding the uneven freeze-drying of materials and ensuring the consistency of batch products.

Equipped with two modes of constant temperature heating and segmented heating, eight groups of recipes can be set, and different materials such as fruits and vegetables, coffee, and pet food can call corresponding recipes, and the production can be switched with one button to meet the needs of multiple product lines.

四.Cooperation Process

A good plan needs to be landed efficiently, and Orange Mech uses professional services to make customers’ cooperation worry-free. Based on the exclusive freeze-dryer solution given by Orange Mech, Bob highly recognized the configuration and adaptability of the equipment and the high cost performance of the freeze dryer price and paid the full amount for the equipment within one week.

The Orange Mech production department immediately started production, strictly controlled every link of equipment production, and customized the exclusive material tray according to the production needs of customers to ensure that the equipment can be put into use when it arrives at the factory.

On January 2, 2026, the customized freeze-dryer was successfully delivered to Bero Foods’ factory in Germany. According to the installation video provided by Orange Mech, the customer completed the installation and debugging of the equipment in only half a day and successfully started the trial production.

五. Customer Feedback

The quality of equipment ultimately depends on the production results. Bero Foods used the OrangeMech freeze-dryer for 40 days and gave us a real experience. The production improvement brought by the equipment far exceeded the customer’s expectation: after using the automatic freeze-dryer, the labor cost was directly reduced by 80%, and the whole freeze-drying process runs automatically, which greatly improves the production efficiency and easily meets the production needs of overseas orders.

At the same time, the uniform refrigeration and heating of the equipment and the stable vacuum make the freeze-dried materials loose and porous, and the rehydration is good. The product appearance and quality far exceed the effect of manual freeze-drying, and the competitiveness of customers’ products in the market is further improved. According to the customer, Orange Mech, as a professional freeze dryer manufacturer, not only has excellent equipment quality but also can accurately match the production demand and then expand production and will also choose to cooperate with Orange Mech.
