# 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

1. Extraction & concentration (customer side)
2. Foaming & slab freezing
3. Granulating frozen slabs
4. Sieving & tray loading
5. Freeze drying in QS-FD-200 Premium
6. Sieving & blending
7. 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.
