Austrian Customer Audit at kemolo

November 3, 2026 · kemolo Newsroom

An Austrian customer delegation visited kemolo to audit our production and quality systems. Sales representative Bonnie hosted the visit, with both sides focusing on household freeze dryers for a freeze-dried strawberry project.

The meeting opened with the flags of China and Austria on the table and a technical presentation on screen, covering European and American pressure vessel ASME standards from design and welding to inspection. The customer's requirement was clear: household freeze dryers for developing and producing freeze-dried strawberries. Discussions covered machine size, batch capacity, energy consumption, ease of operation and final dried quality.

The visit continued with an on-site factory audit of production workshops, equipment assembly and quality control. The customer gave positive feedback on kemolo's standardized, traceable production system. Next steps include sample testing and order discussions for the freeze-dried strawberry project.

Freeze-dried strawberry and household freeze dryer FAQ

Quick answers for buyers researching freeze-dried strawberries and household freeze dryers.

What is a household freeze dryer used for?

A household freeze dryer vacuum-freezes and dries food at low temperature, preserving its structure, color and nutrients. It is used to make freeze-dried snacks such as freeze-dried strawberries, fruit crisps and meal ingredients at home or in small-batch production.

Why are freeze-dried strawberries so popular?

Freeze-dried strawberries keep a bright red color, a crispy texture and most of the fruit's nutrients, usually without added sugar. They are lightweight and shelf-stable, which makes them a fast-growing snack and ingredient category.

What should buyers check during a freeze dryer factory audit?

Typical checks cover pressure vessel and welding standards such as ASME, vacuum stability and freeze-drying curves, food-grade material contact, cleanability, quality control and traceability, plus after-sales support and spare parts.
