I wish to acquire freeze-drying machine to process vegetables and
fruits in large volume. Please direct me to the manufacturers of such
freeze-dryer system, in the U. S. or abroad. I am not able to find
such companies by using Internet search engines. Please do not send me
information on laboratory equipments. Thanks!

I understand why you were unable to find any companies that
manufacture production equipment. Nearly everything seems to be lab
units. I have found one company that makes a 450 square foot
production model that has 15 shelves. Would you be interested in
accepting this company's contact info as an an answer.
