Abstract

A continuous microwave freeze-drying device comprises a vacuum water-trapping system (1), a microwave shield plate (2), a microwave bin (6) and a freeze-drying bin (5) located in the microwave bin (6), wherein the freeze-drying bin (5) comprises an upper bin opening, a left bin wall, a right bin wall and a bottom bin wall, and the left, right and bottom bin walls are all made from nonmetal wave transmitting materials, such as polyfluortetraethylene, polyethylene, polypropylene or quartz glass. The device solves the technical problem of freeze-drying failure caused by glow discharge of microwave under freeze-drying environment.
