Commercial & Bulk Purchasing
We support operations & licensed facilities with volume pricing, dedicated account managers, and custom equipment consultation.
Who This Is For
- You are upgrading to a mid-size commercial unit because your home-scale machines cannot keep up with batch demand.
- You are moving to industrial tray sizes because standard home trays require too much labour for prep and loading.
- You are investing in a dedicated circuit unit because standard wall outlets keep tripping under heavy production.
What We Found
- The integrated pump design makes this unit much quieter than external models we have tested in the shop
- We found the 18 by 26 inch trays are easier to source and replace than custom-sized freeze dryer shelving
What Users Say
- Operators who jumped from home units say the larger tray surface area finally let them scale their daily throughput
- Users running back-to-back batches report the 220V power draw keeps cycle times consistent even during peak operation

FAQs
We adhere to the Canadian pricing set by Harvest Right. The great news is that our price is all-inclusive for Canadian customers. This means you don't have to worry about paying surprise taxes, duties, or brokerage fees, which can be significant when importing from the US. Buying from us avoids hefty duties, unfavourable credit card exchange rates, and the hassle of customs clearance.
The HRC100 is a true commercial unit designed for high-volume production. It processes 65-90 lbs per batch using nine large industrial trays, which is significantly more than the home models. For instance, the popular Harvest Right XL Pro handles 40-50 lbs. The HRC100 is built for the demands of a commercial environment, with an annual capacity of up to 18,000 lbs of fresh food.
This is a great strategic question that depends on your operational needs. Here's a breakdown:
- Two XL Units: Offer a combined capacity of 80-100 lbs, which is slightly higher than the HRC100. This setup provides redundancy—if one unit needs maintenance, your operation doesn't stop. It also offers flexibility, as you can run different products simultaneously. Each requires a dedicated 20A circuit.
- One HRC100 Unit: Provides single-unit simplicity with a capacity of 65-90 lbs. It features robust, commercial-grade construction and a streamlined workflow. However, it represents a single point of operation and requires a dedicated 30A/220V circuit.
💡 Expert Opinion: If production redundancy and flexibility are your top priorities, two XL units are a powerful choice. If you prefer the simplicity of a single, heavy-duty commercial machine and have the required electrical setup, the HRC100 is an outstanding, purpose-built investment.
The HRC100 requires a 220V single-phase outlet with a dedicated 30A circuit and a NEMA 10-30P plug. A CE certified breaker with GFCI and overload protection is necessary. The unit weighs 985 lbs and measures 70" H x 33.5" W x 37.25" D, so professional installation and adequate floor space are essential. As a reminder, extension cords are not recommended.
While the HRC100 comes with everything needed to start freeze-drying, you will want supplies for long-term storage. We recommend stocking up on essentials like Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers to preserve your product's freshness and shelf life. A 12" impulse sealer is also a valuable tool for creating a perfect, airtight seal every time. You can explore all our Harvest Right accessories to optimize your workflow.
The HRC100 is designed for reliability. Regular maintenance involves cleaning the stainless steel trays and following the recommended schedule for the premier industrial vacuum pump.
