02Process

How freeze-dried ice cream and fruit are made

Each product has its own preparation line. Both meet in the freeze dryer, where the ice is removed under vacuum instead of melting away.

Freeze-dried ice cream

From the mix to a 20 g pouch.

  1. 01

    Mix preparation

    Milk, cream, sugar and flavourings are mixed, homogenised and pasteurised.

  2. 02

    Freezing and cutting

    The mix is frozen and cut into 12 mm cubes so every piece dries at the same rate.

  3. 03

    Tray loading

    Frozen cubes are spread in a single layer on the freeze-dryer trays.

  4. 04

    Sublimation

    The ice is removed under vacuum at low temperature: the cube holds its shape and does not melt.

  5. 05

    Packing

    Cubes are packed in 20 g pouches or 500 g bulk bags; moisture and water activity are checked.

Freeze-dried fruit

From fresh fruit to a 1 kg moisture-barrier bag.

  1. 01

    Intake and sorting

    Fresh apricots, figs and raisins are washed, graded and checked against the purchase specification.

  2. 02

    Preparation

    Fruit is pitted or sliced to a uniform size so the drying cycle runs evenly.

  3. 03

    Blast freezing

    Prepared fruit passes through the blast freezer and stays frozen until it is loaded.

  4. 04

    Sublimation

    The freeze dryer removes the ice under vacuum; residual moisture stays at or below 5%.

  5. 05

    Packing

    Fruit is packed in 1 kg moisture-barrier bags inside export cartons, with a sample kept per batch.
