The XL Premier Industrial Vacuum Pump is the oil-sealed pump Harvest Right pairs with its Large and X-Large freeze dryers. It pulls the deep vacuum the dryer needs to turn ice in your food straight to vapor. It runs on a DC motor and plugs into the pump outlet on the back of the freeze dryer, so the dryer controls when it runs. Buy it as a replacement or as a spare for a Large or X-Large unit.
Why it matters
- Sized for the bigger chambers: Harvest Right ships this pump with its Large and X-Large Pro freeze dryers.
- Long oil intervals: with the gas ballast open and clear oil, Harvest Right calls for an oil change every 20 to 30 batches.
- Easy to check: a sight glass on the side shows the oil level and clarity at a glance.
- Reusable oil: drain the oil into a Harvest Right oil filter, pour off the water, and put the clean oil back in.
- Standard household power: 115V, 60Hz, powered from the freeze dryer's own pump outlet.
- Covered by Harvest Right's one-year full warranty on Premier oil vacuum pumps.
