# Freeze-Dried Strawberry Slice Line, 2 t/day

Two QS-FD-100 chambers on staggered cycles turn about 2 tonnes of prepared strawberries per day into crisp, colour-true slices for cereal, snack and baking brands.

Daily input
:   ≈ 2,000 kg prepared fruit

Main equipment
:   2 × QS-FD-100

Cycle
:   20–24 h per chamber

Output
:   ≈ 220–260 kg dry slices/day

## Project goal

Produce bright red, whole-shape strawberry slices with 2–4 % residual moisture, with two chambers so production never fully stops for maintenance.

## Process flow

1. Receiving & cold storage
2. Bubble washing & spray rinse
3. Hulling & 8–10 mm slicing
4. Tray loading at ≈ 10 kg/m²
5. Blast freezing to −35 °C
6. Freeze drying in 2 × QS-FD-100
7. Metal detection & inspection
8. Packing in a dehumidified room

## Design decisions

- Chambers start 12 hours apart so loading and packing teams work steadily.
- Separate wet and dry zones with an air-locked door.
- Refrigeration skids placed in a rear service corridor for hygienic maintenance.
- Recipe storage on the PLC keeps every batch identical.

## Utilities

380 V three-phase power, water-cooled condensing with a cooling tower, potable water for washing, and a dehumidifier sized for the packing room.

## Typical timeline

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Weeks 1–2 | Sample test run and recipe report |
| Weeks 3–4 | Layout drawing and final quotation |
| Weeks 5–12 | Manufacturing and video factory acceptance test |
| Weeks 13–18 | Shipping, installation and commissioning |

This is a reference configuration. Final layout, capacity and lead time depend on your product, site and utilities, and are confirmed in your proposal.
