0:12

do different types of freeze drying so
0:21
that it can help you in your bottom line
0:22
and grow your business in today's video
0:24
we're going to talk about Harvest rights
0:27
recent announcement about an extra large
0:29
freeze dryer that is currently available
0:30
for all of us to purchase it can do
0:33
double the capacity of the large freeze
0:35
dryer which is huge for a freeze-dried
0:38
business I'm going to go through their
0:39
spec sheet so that we know exactly
0:41
what's included in this extra large
0:42
freeze dryer and I found out some
0:44
additional information about the extra
0:45
large freeze dryer from Harvest right
0:48
directly that you wanted answered so
0:50
let's get started with this video
0:53
foreign
0:54
I'm going to share with you the spec
0:56
sheet that Harvest Right sent me about
0:57
the extra large freeze dryer I'm going
0:59
to share my screen we're going to walk
1:00
through the PDF of all the different
1:02
dimensions and specifications for this
1:04
we're going to compare it also to the
1:06
large freeze dryer that we're custom
1:08
using today and see how they match up so
1:11
let's take a look alright so this is the
1:13
spec sheet that Harvest Right sent me
1:15
and I also have the harvestride.com
1:17
website open so we can look to see how
1:19
it compares to the large that we're all
1:21
accustomed to now aesthetically and
1:24
Visually Harvest Right really didn't do
1:27
too much aesthetically to the change of
1:28
the extra large it really looks much
1:31
similar the difference is it does have
1:33
six trays and one of the things I wanted
1:36
to know is how big these trays are are
1:38
they bigger I was kind of curious
1:40
because I was wondering if like wow is
1:42
this going to have more trays and then
1:45
we're going to change much about the
1:46
actual machine dimensions but no they
1:49
did so the tray dimensions are 11
1:52
roughly 11 inches wide and 30 inches
1:56
deep are the trays now let's see how
1:58
that compares to the large freeze dryer
2:01
that we're accustomed to as you can see
2:03
right here there's five trays in this
2:05
one wow two inches additional width for
2:09
the trays of this extra large
2:11
and we're going to get almost 10 more
2:14
inches well we are going to yeah almost
2:17
10 more inches
2:19
um deep for this extra large freeze
2:21
dryer that's phenomenal so really it's
2:24
not going to change in term terms the
2:26
big huge size but man lengthways it's
2:29
definitely going to be a bigger machine
2:31
but six trays and then we're going to
2:33
get a huge amount of uh
2:37
we're gonna get a huge amount of more in
2:39
uh depth and width for our trays to put
2:42
more food on there now the warranty
2:44
stays the same at three years I remember
2:46
two years ago I thought that it was
2:48
about a one year warranty for my machine
2:50
um it could be wrong on that it was six
2:51
months for the uh for the pump
2:54
now things have changed and so if you're
2:56
a recent buyer of a Harvest Drive freeze
2:58
dryer you may be accustomed to that
3:00
three year but I was not I could be
3:03
wrong though
3:04
um now in terms of power I did confirm
3:07
this with Harvest right it is going to
3:09
run off the same type of dedicated 20
3:12
amp circuit that we're accustomed to it
3:14
the large so it's not going to be like
3:16
the medium and small where it can run
3:17
off a regular uh breaker and an outlet
3:20
it does have to run off that 20 amp
3:22
circuit but there's no additional
3:24
requirement that has changed they're not
3:26
like apple where you know they make you
3:28
buy a brand new uh lightning horde and
3:32
chargers and all that stuff of stuff so
3:33
that's great news
3:36
um shipping
3:37
um I did confirm it's free shipping
3:39
right now 500 off that five thousand
3:42
dollar price right now through the end
3:44
of the month so that's great now when it
3:46
comes to the to the prompt pump uh it is
3:49
going to be a premium pump so again
3:51
you're changing probably every 15 20 25
3:54
batches but this is going to be a much
3:57
larger pump the CFM on this is I believe
4:00
10 CFM which is the amount of pressure
4:02
versus the large pump is going to be is
4:05
currently at seven so it's just a bigger
4:08
pump gonna have to require more output
4:11
um
4:12
um to run that machine at the extra
4:14
large point of view so um definitely
4:17
just keep that in mind
4:19
um total dimensions I do think this is
4:21
going to be obviously a little bit wider
4:24
um than that so let's take a look at the
4:26
inches yep overall dimensions
4:28
um with the Harvest Right is for the
4:30
largest 21 by 27 by 31.
4:35
yeah so about two inches wider
4:39
so yeah it's just going to be a little
4:41
bit bigger but overall I think the
4:44
dimensions look great biggest changes is
4:46
going to be a larger pump it's still
4:48
going to be the premium which is great
4:49
so you don't have to do as many oil
4:51
changes
4:52
great news on the dedicated 20 amp
4:55
circuit you don't have to actually
4:56
dedicate anything differently now just
4:59
the same as your large and then the
5:01
biggest Point yeah right here is going
5:03
to be the trays so the tray Dimensions
5:05
uh six trays 10 more inches wide
5:09
10
5:10
sorry two more and two more inches wide
5:14
and then 10 inches deep on those trays
5:17
all right so we just took a look at the
5:18
spec sheet I'm pretty impressed so far
5:20
with the amount of modifications they've
5:22
made for this extra large freeze dryer I
5:24
can definitely see how this is an
5:25
improvement from the large freeze dryer
5:27
given the capacity of the trays now that
5:29
you have more room to put more food on
5:31
there and there's six trays to do
5:34
all right so what did Harvest rights say
5:37
when I talked to them about some of the
5:38
questions that you had that you wanted
5:40
answered about this extra large freeze
5:42
dryer
5:44
one of your questions was what are the
5:47
expected batch times for this extra
5:49
large freeze dryer and the answer was
5:51
nothing they're actually going to be the
5:54
same exact dry times because they hadn't
5:56
changed anything so there's not going to
5:58
be longer dry times there's not going to
6:00
be longer freeze times it's equipped to
6:03
do exactly the same batch times and I
6:05
even asked them you know my fruit if I
6:08
Max the capacity 12 to 14 pounds of my
6:11
large of let's say strawberries or
6:13
pineapple things like that it's taking
6:15
between 36 to 48 hours and they told me
6:18
that's what you should expect for the
6:20
extra large freezer the same amount of
6:21
dry time if you're maxing out the
6:23
capacity as well so really good news
6:25
there
6:28
um somebody asked about how many trays
6:30
six trays are going to be there
6:35
also are there going to be any
6:37
additional accessories for the extra
6:39
large freeze dryer like the mats and the
6:41
lids you know what they said is give us
6:44
a couple months we just came out this
6:45
with this machine so the timeline for
6:47
when they're going to come out with the
6:49
different accessories probably is going
6:51
to be a couple months from now but they
6:53
did say they will have all the available
6:55
accessories that you're accustomed to
6:57
with the other sizes further down the
7:00
line
7:02
now we'll run off the same software
7:05
version as the large and they said yes
7:08
it will run off the same software
7:12
now someone asked also because they were
7:14
in a more like high humidity and high
7:17
heat area of the country you know is the
7:19
Heat going to be an issue with longer
7:21
run times with the new extra large
7:22
freeze dry and the answer is yes it will
7:25
pull more heat because it's a larger
7:27
freeze dryer so it should be expected
7:29
that you'll have to cool off that
7:30
machine if you're in a high temperature
7:32
area high humidity definitely if you've
7:34
got fans going and I I'm accustomed to
7:37
that too so um yeah we're gonna have to
7:40
accommodate for the for the higher heat
7:42
for this machine
7:46
all right so some questions that I had
7:47
with them was you know is there a large
7:49
expected to be decreased or discounted
7:51
in the future
7:53
um right now they're saying that the
7:54
prices are going to remain the same I
7:55
also asked if they're going to work out
7:57
some type of trade because it doesn't
7:58
hurt to ask that they did say no that's
8:01
going to complicate too many things on
8:03
their end so just use the exchanges and
8:05
Facebook and things like that to sell
8:07
your large freeze dryer all right so I
8:09
hope I answered some of your questions
8:11
about the extra large freeze dryer I got
8:13
to go through the spec sheet as well as
8:15
answering some of your questions that
8:17
you had asked from the short that I
8:19
posted last week I think this is really
8:21
great news for freeze-dried business
8:23
owners just like me and everyone here
8:27
foreign
8:30
freeze dryer in my opinion is definitely
8:33
the same amount of dry time with larger
8:36
and double the amount of product that
8:38
you can put in the freeze dryer that's
8:40
huge for all of us the price point I
8:43
think is pretty fair five thousand
8:44
dollars for the Double D capacity I mean
8:47
the large freeze dry right now is
8:48
running around thirty five hundred
8:50
dollars and that's if you're not
8:52
Advanced into the oilless pump so about
8:54
fifteen hundred dollars more to do
8:56
double that's huge secondly you don't
8:58
have to change out the outlet from the
8:59
large 20 amp dedicated circuit that we
9:02
all have so that's great news too I
9:04
think the only downside to the extra
9:06
large freeze dryer is that it's just
9:08
going to pull more heat we're definitely
9:10
gonna have to find ways to keep the
9:12
climate control under control you know
9:14
and and make sure that this heat doesn't
9:16
impact the dry times and all those
9:19
different type of error messages that
9:20
we're accustomed to when it gets to a
9:22
high temperature
9:24
overall this is a great announcement by
9:26
Harvest right I think it's definitely a
9:28
game changer I know there are other
9:30
freeze dry manufacturers that are coming
9:32
out and I think that's really exciting
9:34
to have different varieties of
9:36
competition and different choices but
9:38
for Harvest Right to come out with this
9:40
initial one that has double the capacity
9:42
huge game changer well that's a wrap on
9:45
this video I hope this was informative
9:47
for you about this extra large freezer
9:49
that Harvest Right came out with this is
9:51
a huge game changer and I hope it
9:53
excited you for your business and that
9:55
you look into this extra large freeze
9:57
dryer for your business because this is
9:59
really big in terms of the extra
10:01
capacity they could do with the same
