Upgrading your Harvest Right Freeze Dryer is simple. Just give it a new and better-performing oil pump! The Harvest Right Premier Vacuum Oil Pump is the quieter and more efficient alternative to the standard oil pump. As the pump sits outside the unit, you can detach the standard pump and install this Premier Oil Pump easily.
One of the best features of this upgraded pump is the noise. It is just as loud as a dishwasher so your Freeze Dryer will be almost unnoticeable. The Premier Pump is especially not affected by hot conditions. When the temperature rises, it will create a better vacuum than the standard pump. While the standard pump doesn’t work well in the heat, the Premier Vacuum Oil Pump functions more efficiently even in high temperatures. Under hot conditions at ultimate vacuum pressure, the Standard Pump pulls 2.1 amps while the Premier Pump only pulls 1.7 amps.
You will also enjoy the lower maintenance of this pump. It rarely needs oil and filter changes compared to the standard vacuum pump. Depending on how much you are using the Freeze Dryer, you might get through half the harvest season without an oil filter change.
The Premier Pump is easier to move around as it weighs 5 lbs less than the standard pump (32 lbs. versus 37 lbs.)
