Turnkey freeze-drying plants
Guelta Partners designs, builds and commissions complete freeze-drying plants — from fresh fruit reception to the packed product — and backs every figure with data from our own production in Istanbul.
The buyer’s view
They hesitate because of everything around it. The same four questions come up before price is ever discussed — our work is built to answer them.
Q1
A real cycle with your own raw material at our plant answers it properly. You leave with a finished sample and a written report.
Q2
Yield, cycle time, energy and labour, modelled on operating data from a working plant — not on brochure figures.
Q3
Layout, utilities, local contractors and permits: the part of a project that usually loses months. We coordinate it for you.
Q4
A line stopped at 6 a.m. is not a shipping question. First response comes from people who run the same equipment every shift.
Our plant
Guelta runs an industrial freeze-drying plant in Istanbul and sells freeze-dried fruit and cheese under its own brand. Everything on this page is something we do in our own production — not a capability we would have to build after your order.

Manufacturing partner
Our own plant runs on KEMOLO freeze dryers. On a project, KEMOLO builds and supplies the dryers; we design and supply everything around them and take responsibility for the line as a whole — one integrated plant, one point of contact.

What we deliver
A freeze dryer is only as good as the process around it. We take responsibility for every step between the delivery truck and the finished pallet.
Process flow, mass and line balance, room conditions, heat and moisture loads, and a building brief your architect can work from.
Freeze dryers and every machine around them, selected for your product and integrated into one controlled line.
Unloading and packaging below 30 % RH, chilled water, compressed air and nitrogen — sized from our own operating experience.
PLC and SCADA, batch traceability, energy per kilogram, and remote monitoring of every drying cycle.
Site coordination with local contractors, commissioning, performance testing and CE conformity of the complete line.
Cycle recipes per product from our own production, operator training and written procedures.
Reach
We work in food across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, with producers, ingredient suppliers and distributors who are watching freeze-dried products grow in their markets. Our plant is in Istanbul.
Projects under EU rules — CE, F-gas, pressure equipment and state-aid timelines are part of our daily work.
Existing commercial relationships we can approach directly, rather than starting from a cold list.
Familiar routes and a working understanding of how procurement actually happens there.
Contact
A first conversation is always without obligation. We usually reply within one working day.
