The Best Cannabis Freeze Dryer for Hash

A freeze dryer is one of the most crucial pieces of equipment for producing bubble hash and is a must-have when launching a solventless manufacturing facility. The freeze drying process not only preserves valuable cannabinoids and terpenes but also enhances potency and speeds up production. Most importantly, it eliminates the contamination risks commonly associated with traditional air drying and curing methods.

Recommended Freeze Dryers 

On average we estimate large scale manufactures could be putting $10,000+ worth of product in their freeze dryers any given time. Hence why choosing the right one is really important. At Lowtemp, we offer two different brands of freeze dryers Harvest Right, and Holland Green Science. Today we are going to be breaking down the differences to help you choose which machine is right for your lab. 

Harvest Right Freeze Dryer Models for Bubble Hash

Pros: Harvest Right freeze dryers are among the most affordable options on the market. They come in four sizes: Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large, offering versatility for labs of any size. These machines are very easy to use. They come pre-programmed and need few updates or changes. This makes them a great choice for beginners.

Cons: While the pre-programmed settings on a Harvest Right freeze dryer make it easy to use, they limit your ability to fine-tune specific settings. For some, this lack of customization can be a drawback. Another important factor to consider when purchasing lab equipment is the quality of customer service provided by the manufacturer. Unfortunately, since Harvest Right freeze dryers are not specifically designed for cannabis, their customer support may not be particularly helpful when troubleshooting issues related to hash production.

At Lowtemp, we take pride in providing education and support. We are always happy to answer any questions and help you get the most out of your equipment.

How to Pick the Right Harvest Right Model:

Choosing the right model depends on your production scale. For small-scale producers using the Mini Osprey, one large freeze dryer should be sufficient. For those running the full-size Osprey, we recommend at least two large freeze dryers to keep up with production demands.

We also recommend investing in an oil-free pump. While it costs a bit more upfront, it requires less maintenance and keeps your freeze dryer operational longer. The more your freeze dryer runs smoothly, the more productive and profitable your lab will be.

Another consideration would be adding a HashlyLink to your Harvest Right. While newer models from Harvest Right are more reliable they haven't always had that reputation. Adding a HashyLink allows you to remotely monitor your freeze dryer, putting your mind at ease.

Holland Green Science - The Best Cannabis Specific Freeze Dryer For Sale

Pros: The number one reason we recommend the Xiros Mikro Freeze Dryer from Holland Green Science is their reliability. Much like the Osprey, these machines are specifically designed for hashmakers by people who understand the unique challenges of making hash. Holland Green Science is committed to supporting your success at every step.

These freeze dryers are also proven to dry hash up to two hours faster than an equivalent load in a Harvest Right machine. Additionally, they offer a high level of control, allowing you to fine-tune the drying cycle for optimal results.

Cons: The price point is significantly higher, but in this case, you truly get what you pay for, so it is hard to see this as a downside. Like the Harvest Right, the adjustability of this model can be viewed as either a pro or a con. Since it does not come with pre-programmed settings, it requires a more in-depth setup. This makes it less suitable for those who want a simple, plug-and-play option right from the start.

Which Cannabis Freeze Dryer is Right for You?

Choose a Harvest Right Model if:

• You’re a small to medium-scale hashmaker or grower.
• You’re looking for an affordable solution to get started.
• You’re comfortable with minor maintenance and adjustments.

Choose a Holland Green Science model if:

• You prioritize precision and premium quality.
• You’re running a large-scale operation or creating high-end products.
• You want a system specifically designed for cannabis.

At Lowtemp, we are committed to helping you choose the best cannabis processing equipment for your specific needs.
