The present technology is directed to an apparatus for freeze-drying various items. The apparatus described herein includes a reusable sealable container enabling aseptic handling of bulk processed materials. The multi-use tray enables a sterile sealable enclosure for use throughout the freeze-drying process, including: pre-freeze-drying (e.g., filling, handling, storage, transfer), freeze-drying processing, and/or post-freeze-drying (e.g., handling and storage).

A liquid removal device is for removing a liquid from a surface. The liquid removal device includes a chassis comprising a handle and an absorber drum and an extractor drum both rotationally coupled with the chassis. The absorber drum includes a cylinder, where an absorbent layer is positioned on an outer drum surface of the absorber drum. The extractor drum includes a reservoir configured to retain the liquid absorbed from the surface, an outer extractor surface, and a plurality of apertures defined by the outer extractor surface in fluid communication with the reservoir. The extractor drum is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, at least a first portion of the plurality of apertures are in contact with the absorbent layer. In the second position, the first portion of the plurality of apertures are not in contact with the absorbent layer.

The present invention relates to a desiccation apparatus, the apparatus comprising: a hollow drum mounted for revolution about a substantially longitudinal axis, the drum comprising a shell having an interior surface and an exterior surface; and a means to generate airflow through the hollow drum.

A biomass stabilization assembly for managing soft cell organic waste ingredients. Prescribed ingredients are introduced into an inner chamber of a housing, such as through a top hatch, with subsequent unloading of a completed and chemically inert product occurring through a concealed chute and a rear port exhausting H2O gas vapor. The invention includes associated control and processor based components and operates outdoors or indoors of individual facilities and may further incorporate software protocols and algorithms which permit any status monitoring or modification of operational parameters as determined by sensor inputs.
