Li Suobin, Chairman of Jiangsu BOLAIKE, was invited to attend the 12th Asia-Pacific Drying Conference and deliver a keynote speech, sharing insights on innovations in freeze-drying technology and industry trends.

Recently, at the 12th Asia-Pacific Drying Conference held in Changzhou, Mr. Li Suobin, Chairman of Jiangsu BOLAIKE, was invited to attend and delivered a keynote speech to experts, scholars, and corporate representatives in the field of drying from more than ten countries and regions around the world. As a leading enterprise in China’s food freeze-drying equipment sector with the highest number of patents, BOLAIKE has accumulated substantial expertise in freeze-drying technology R&D and equipment manufacturing. Chairman Li Suobin’s presentation focused on industry trends, innovation directions, and industrialization practices in freeze-drying technology. The report was comprehensive and offered a broad perspective, earning high praise from the attendees.

The Asia-Pacific Drying Conference is one of the most influential academic events in the field of international drying science and technology. Held biennially, it aims to promote the exchange of cutting-edge technologies and foster collaboration among industry, academia, and research institutions in the global drying sector. This year’s conference was held in Changzhou and attracted hundreds of delegates from countries and regions including China, Australia, Japan, South Korea, India, Poland, and Canada. During the conference, experts engaged in in-depth discussions on topics including fundamental drying theories, advanced drying technologies, equipment development, and industrial applications. As one of the key sponsors of this conference, BOLAIKE not only showcased its latest generation of freeze-drying equipment on-site but also, through a presentation by Chairman Li Suobin, shared China’s development philosophy and innovative achievements in the field of freeze-drying equipment with international peers.

In his presentation, Chairman Li Suobin first reviewed the significant application value of freeze-drying technology in the food, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sectors. He noted that freeze-drying technology can efficiently remove moisture from materials under low-temperature and low-pressure conditions, thereby maximizing the retention of products’ natural nutritional components, color, flavor, and active substances, making it one of the core technologies in today’s high-end food processing and preservation sectors. With the rise of the global health-conscious consumption trend and the food industry’s accelerated shift toward deep processing, large-scale freeze-drying equipment characterized by high efficiency, stability, and intelligence is becoming a shared demand in the international market. Against this backdrop, BOLAIKE has consistently remained committed to technology innovation as its driving force, continuously advancing performance upgrades and energy-saving optimizations for freeze-drying equipment.

Chairman Li Suobin then outlined BOLAIKE’s overall strategy for the R&D and manufacturing of freeze-drying equipment. He noted that the company focuses on the systematic optimization of three core modules—refrigeration, vacuum, and heating—and, through integrated design and lean manufacturing processes, continuously improves the equipment’s drying efficiency, operational stability, and level of intelligence. BOLAIKE’s freeze-drying equipment is widely used in the processing of fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy products, coffee, herbs, and various functional food ingredients. It has been successfully exported to numerous countries and regions across Europe, the Americas, and Central Asia, earning widespread recognition from clients both domestically and internationally.

When discussing industry trends, Chairman Li Suobin noted that future freeze-drying equipment will evolve toward greater efficiency, energy savings, and intelligence, while customized, one-stop solutions will become key to meeting the diverse needs of clients across different industries. He emphasized that BOLAIKE will continue to adhere to the philosophy of “technology-led and service-oriented,” leveraging its substantial patent portfolio and extensive experience in international cooperation to provide global customers with first-class freeze-drying technology solutions—ranging from individual machines to complete production lines, and from equipment to processes. He also expressed hope that, through the international platform of the Asia-Pacific Drying Conference, the company could strengthen exchanges and cooperation with research institutions and enterprises in the global drying sector to jointly promote innovation and industrial applications of freeze-drying technology.

Following the presentation, several experts from international drying associations and conference delegates engaged in discussions with Chairman Li Suobin. They commended BOLAIKE’s technical expertise and market performance in the freeze-drying equipment sector and expressed interest in future collaborative research. This impressive appearance at the 12th Asia-Pacific Drying Conference further solidified BOLAIKE’s industry influence in the field of freeze-drying technology and showcased the proactive role of “Made in China” at the forefront of drying technology to international peers.

Moving forward, BOLAIKE will continue to uphold the philosophy of “Technology-Led, Service-Driven,” deepening its commitment to freeze-drying technology R&D and application. The company aims to support the high-quality development of the global food processing and preservation industry and is dedicated to becoming a trusted partner and industry benchmark in the international freeze-drying technology sector.
