The Xiros Mikro is a professional benchtop freeze dryer purpose-built for solventless producers who need real control over their drying process — not the fixed, one-setting approach found in consumer-grade machines. Instead of locking you into a single shelf temperature for the whole cycle, the Xiros Mikro lets you build a staged drying profile: keep things cold and gentle early on while sublimation is doing the easy work, then gradually raise the temperature toward the end to chase out any final trace of trapped moisture.
That staged control is exactly what hash needs. Cheaper freeze dryers are prone to temperature overshoot — the heating element pushes past its target before it settles back down, and even a brief spike like that is enough to cook off delicate terpenes. The Xiros Mikro’s control system is engineered to hold shelf temperature tightly to its setpoint throughout the cycle, avoiding that overshoot altogether.
This precision runs through its Program Mode, which allows operators to design a custom drying recipe with up to 16 individual steps — each with its own exact shelf temperature and vacuum pressure. The result is a genuinely repeatable, low-and-slow process built around your product, rather than a generic drying algorithm.
- Shelves: 9-shelf configuration
- Ice Capacity: Up to 8kg ice capacity, 4kg sublimation per 24-hour cycle
- Footprint: Compact benchtop unit, approx. 30″ W x 30″ D x 20″ H
- Tray Compatibility: 12mm trays
- Programmability: Up to 16-step custom drying profiles
- Build: Stainless-steel interior with a refined shelf-stack design to reduce out-gassing
- Duty Cycle: Engineered for continuous, round-the-clock operation
Freeze drying relies on sublimation — turning ice directly into vapour under vacuum, so the product never warms up or gets wet again. That matters enormously for fresh hash, where heat, light, and oxidation start degrading trichomes the moment they leave the freezer, dulling cannabinoids and burning off the terpenes responsible for flavour and aroma. The Xiros Mikro is designed to remove that risk entirely, safeguarding quality from the start of the cycle right through to the end.
