This equipment utilizes the drying process, which preserves samples by means of the removal of water. After the material is frozen, it is placed on trays in the vacuum chamber where just enough heat is added and the surrounding pressure is reduced to allow frozen water in the material to sublime. With reduced moisture content, the growth of microorganisms is inhibited. Thus, sample’s shelf-life is extended. Freeze drying is a method that will enhance the performance and productivity of Food Processing Firms (FPFs). Target Sector: Food Processing MIRDC Project Team in charge of fabrication: Engr. Jose B. Ferrer Registry No./Utility Model: Application on-going |

| Sweet Sorghum Juicer |
It is a machine run by an 8-horsepower single cylinder diesel engine that extracts juice from sweet sorghum with a maximum capacity of 200 kg/day.
It effectively extracts juice from sorghum stalks. Juice collected from this plant is used as ingredient for making syrup, molasses, or ethanol.
This machine not only effectively collects juice. It also easily makes bagasse, the fibrous matter, available in producing biofuel and in the making of pulp, paper products and building materials.

| Vacuum Packaging Machine |
It extends the shelf life of food, thus significantly protects food from spoilage.
It inhibits growth of anaerobic microorganisms by removing most of the air that surrounds the food product.
The machine is advisable for long-term storage of dry food, and short-term preservation of vegetables, meat, and liquids.
The Vacuum Packaging Machine cuts losses due to food wastage. Wastage reduction will eventually be translated to higher income and more viable business.
