1. Technology overview
Viet Say (Vietsay) is a Ho Chi Minh City manufacturer founded in 2018 that designs and builds freeze dryers, cold dryers and heat dryers, drawing on technology transferred from Young Chenn Instruments of Taiwan. It helps cooperatives and food or herbal processors move from selling raw produce to high-value dried products, operating a 700 m2 machine workshop with 24 staff that can deliver 10-15 freeze dryers a month.
Its freeze-dryer range spans 10 kg to 2,000 kg per batch, with stainless steel 304/316 chambers, touch-screen control, 20 preset drying recipes, an integrated freezing system and IoT monitoring and control from a phone. Components such as vacuum pumps are imported from Germany, Italy and Japan. The company also builds vacuum extraction and vacuum concentration systems, offers sample drying tests in its R&D room, transfers processing know-how to customers and runs a separate toll freeze-drying workshop.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Freeze dryer range: models from 10 kg to 500 kg per batch, with custom capacities up to 2,000 kg.

3. Potential application
- Fruit processors in the Mekong Delta producing freeze-dried durian, jackfruit and mango for export.
- Herbal and ginseng companies preserving active ingredients of high-value medicinal plants.
- Coffee roasters and bird's nest producers creating premium instant and dried products.
4. Benefits
- Higher-value products: freeze drying preserves colour, shape and nutrients of fruit, herbs and bird's nest better than heat drying.
- Local cost advantage: Vietnam-made machines with listed prices, free nationwide delivery and installation, and 0% instalment on some models.
- Lower risk before investing: 1-3 day sample drying tests in the R&D room and on-site process transfer.
- After-sales support: 24-month on-site warranty and 24/7 technical support.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Vietnam exports large volumes of fresh fruit and herbs, and processors are moving into deep processing to escape low raw-commodity prices. Freeze-dried fruit, coffee, bird's nest and medicinal herbs command premium prices in export and modern retail channels, increasing demand for affordable locally built drying equipment.
