WAVE Freeze Dryers (WAVE Trockensysteme, Vienna)
WAVE is WAVE Trockensysteme, an industrial freeze-drying manufacturer based in Vienna. Its machines are Commercial / Production equipment: industrial units are not directly comparable to home units without context, and this hub keeps Small Commercial thinking separate from Commercial / Production framing on purpose.
Manufacturer Overview
WAVE builds industrial sublimation systems in Vienna. Three models are verified in this database: the FD440 with a published 60 kg ice capacity and 192 L chamber volume, the FD440 MAX with 100 kg ice capacity and 220 L, and the FD450 with 130 kg ice capacity and 576 L. The FD440 is additionally documented with 600 x 400 mm trays, a Siemens PLC, a 10-inch touchscreen and remote monitoring.
Starting prices are published in euro: FD440 from EUR 36,900 (also listed from about $37,500 USD), FD440 MAX from EUR 49,500, and FD450 from EUR 44,700.
Industrial units differ from home machines in electricity, facility requirements, service, spare parts, operator training and workflow. Comparing a WAVE unit to a home freezer on price or tray count without that context is misleading, and this site does not do it: the model pages classify these as COMMERCIAL / PRODUCTION and mark unpublished fields Not Published.
The FD260 and FD470 are not listed in this database because their current official specifications were not verified at the time of writing. A planned or mentioned model is not information: it stays out until its official specs are verified.
