3D Printing Revolutionizes Food Freeze-Drying Equipment Manufacturing at Lyotrade

 
  • Czech company Lyotrade leverages Original Prusa and Trilab 3D printers to revolutionize the manufacturing of their AMARU Lyophilizers.

  • Approximately 10-15% of the components of these advanced freeze-drying units are produced using 3D printing, incorporating innovative materials such as polyester, ABS, and PC.

  • This technology facilitates rapid prototype development, flexible production, and optimized manufacturing processes tailored to meet the evolving demands of the food industry.

The rising popularity of freeze-dried food is a global phenomenon. This method, known as lyophilization, offers extended shelf life, preserved taste, and nearly unchanged nutritional content. Czech company Lyotrade produces the advanced AMARU Lyophilizer range, with Original Prusa and Trilab 3D printers playing a pivotal role in its production.


The AMARU Lyophilizer, named after Túpac Amaru, the last Inca emperor, appears to be a complex machine with steel shelves, motors, filters, and electronics. Approximately 10-15% of its components are 3D printed, utilizing innovative materials like polyester (CPE), ABS, PC, or Fluorodur (PVDF).


Original Prusa MK3S+ and Trilab Azteq Industrial printers are employed, enabling efficient prototype development and flexible production of resilient parts for the demanding conditions of the lyophilization process.


The use of 3D printers has granted Lyotrade the ability to swiftly respond to design changes and new requirements. This empowers the company with substantial control over the production process, fostering innovation within the food processing industry.
