Who This Is For
- You are upgrading to a pharmaceutical grade unit because heat-based drying methods are ruining your delicate terpenes
- You are investing in a dedicated freeze dryer because air drying is too inconsistent for sensitive botanical extracts
- You are choosing the small unit because your lab space is limited but you still need lab-quality preservation
What We Found
- The five trays are spaced specifically to handle the shallow depths needed for high-quality extract processing.
- We recommend the oil-free pump if you want to skip the mess and time spent on oil changes every few weeks.
What Users Say
- Users report that their material remains shelf-stable for months longer than when they used air drying.
- Producers say their finished product looks like fresh harvest because the cold process prevents browning.
What's Included
Should You Upgrade to the Oil-Free Pump?
The included Premier Pump is a reliable workhorse, but the optional Oil-Free Pump offers a significant upgrade in convenience for high-volume users. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide.

Premier Pump (Included)
- Robust and reliable performance
- Quiet operation
- Requires oil changes every 20-25 batches
- Best for users with moderate volume

Oil-Free Pump (Upgrade)
- Zero regular maintenance required
- Hassle-free, continuous operation
- Slightly louder than the oil pump
- Ideal for commercial or frequent use
💡 Expert Opinion: For most users starting out, the included Premier Pump is perfectly adequate. However, if you're running the machine constantly for your business or simply want to eliminate maintenance tasks, the Oil-Free Pump is a worthwhile investment that pays for itself in time and convenience.

We adhere to the Canadian pricing set by Harvest Right. The key benefit of purchasing from us is that our price is all-inclusive.

The Pharmaceutical models are specifically designed to handle delicate materials like botanicals, herbs, and medicines. They offer precise temperature control and specific software settings to maximize the preservation of terpenes, enzymes, and other volatile compounds, which is less of a focus for the standard home models designed for food.
The Small Pharmaceutical model can process approximately 3.75 to 5 pounds of wet material per batch. This typically yields between 0.9 to 1.25 pounds of dry material, depending on the initial moisture content.
This freeze dryer operates on a standard 110V outlet. It's recommended to plug it directly into the wall and avoid using extension cords to ensure stable performance.
Yes, you can. While not included standard, you can enhance your unit with the optional Harvest Right Wi-Fi Upgrade Kit. This allows you to monitor cycles, receive notifications, and even update your machine's software directly from your smartphone or computer. You can learn more about its benefits in our guide to the WiFi kit.
Choosing the right model depends on your batch size and frequency. This small model is great for precise, smaller batches. If you need more capacity, consider the Medium or Large Pharmaceutical models. For a complete overview, check out our comprehensive Canadian Freeze Dryer Buyer's Guide.
