Vacuum Freeze Dryer – Model FD-10C (150kg Capacity) – Non-Operational
Condition: Brand new, non-operational.
Location: Thomastown, VIC.
Pickup: Welded castors for easy movement.
Background & Repairs:
Purchased new in April 2021 from Henan Workers Machinery Co. (China) for $74,000.
Upon arrival, the unit was non-operational.
Over $25,000 was spent on repairs by vacuum dryer and refrigeration specialists.
Work included pressure tests, leak repairs, and system re-pressurization.
The warranty was voided due to repair attempts; the case went to court, and the machine was held for 18 months.
The latest invoice estimates $5,000–$6,000 to make it operational.
Reason for Sale:
Factory relocation – insufficient power supply to run the unit.
Selling as is with all supporting documents: manufacturers’ details, CAD drawings, and repair invoices.
