What cryodry does
CryoDry (Cryodry Pty Ltd, ACN 660 060 748) is an Australian proprietary limited company headquartered in Macquarie Park, New South Wales, that designs and manufactures freeze dryers (lyophilizers) and accessories for home, food, laboratory, and industrial applications. The company's product portfolio centers on the CD8 freeze dryer platform — launched in July 2023 as the original CD8, refreshed as the CD8 Gen2 in July 2024, and extended into higher-throughput use cases with the CD8 Pro in October 2025 — alongside a range of compatible accessories including vacuum pumps (PSP12 Scroll, Pfeiffer HiScroll 6/12, Duo 6 Rotary Vane), interchangeable stainless-steel shelf stacks and trays, thermoblocks for laboratory tubes, oil mist eliminators, and pump maintenance kits.
Core technology is built around lyophilization with a proprietary interchangeable Sandwich Shelf Stack design supporting 1–9 shelf configurations, an operating temperature range of -40°C to +60°C, and software-driven features including AutoDry automatic drying, CryoDry Console Wi-Fi/Internet remote control with SMS and email alerts, Candy Mode energy-saving operation, USB-based run-history data export, and Power Recovery for outage resilience. The platform carries HACCP International food-safety certification and UL, CSA, CE, and RCM electrical compliance verified through third-party testing by UL and SGS.
Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of freeze dryers and accessories, supplemented by warranty registration and service support; freeze dryer prices are quote-based and not publicly disclosed, while pumps and accessories are listed in Australian dollars including GST (for example, HiScroll 6 at $6,920 AUD, Duo 6 Rotary Vane at $4,390 AUD, and shelf stacks between $1,900 and $2,700 AUD). Go-to-market blends a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (shop.cryodry.biz) with a global authorized distributor network spanning 35+ countries across Asia Pacific, Africa, the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East, supported by content marketing, an affiliate program, and trade-show presence across segments including home users, food and beverage businesses, education and biotech research institutions, and analytical and environmental laboratories.
