Page 8: 1: Introduction
1: Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of a Labconco Extraction Freeze Dry system. The Extraction Freeze Dryer is designed to aid in the production of bubble hash following a solventless extraction of plant material. The refrigerant used in the refrigeration system is HCRC-free so it will not endanger the environment. -

usually absorbed on one side of the frozen sample and must travel through the frozen layer to vaporize water at the other surface. In addition, as the sample is freeze dried, the water vapor must travel through the layer of dried material. The thicker the sample, the greater the chance that the dried layer may collapse which would cause an additional decrease in the rate of freeze drying. -
