2、 Comparison of Five Brand Core Parameters and Prices

3、 Depth evaluation by dimension

（1） Price dimension: Hengmei's full range of affordable pricing, with a significant advantage in cost-effectiveness base

Price is the core foundation of cost-effectiveness, and among the five brands compared this time, Hengmei presents a pricing advantage. Hengmei Full Series9Market price coverage of models9500-15800Yuan, including entry-levelHM-DG10only9500Yuan can meet the freeze-drying needs of basic scientific research samples; mid-to-high-endHM-DG40+pricing15800Yuan, compared to the same-sex level of Xinzhi BiologySCIENTZ-18N/C（19800Yuan), Kassel MachineryKM-LG01（22000Yuan) respectively low20%、28%.

Looking at other brands: Dongfulong asHigh end pharmaceutical equipment brand, with prices for small pilot machines of the same level reaching up to12Ten thousand yuan, far exceeding the budget of small and medium-sized users; The pricing of Songyuan Huaxing laboratory grade models is approximately2.8Ten thousand yuan, although lower than Dongfulong, still higher than Hengmei80%The above is only suitable for pilot scenarios with specific compliance requirements. Hengmei's pricing strategy accurately covers mainstream user groups such as universities, scientific research institutions, and small and medium-sized enterprises with limited budgets, without the need to pay a premium for redundant features.

（2） Core performance: Hengmei configuration is balanced, key parameters meet standards and are practical

The core performance of a vacuum freeze dryer depends on the three core modules of the refrigeration system, vacuum system, and drying chamber systemHM-DG40+Implement on key parameters“Just need to be fully loaded, without any shortcomings”.

1. Refrigeration system: Hengmei uses original enclosed compressors with low-temperature cold traps≤-60℃The ability to capture water3kg/24hAnd it has sample pre freezing function, without the need for additional ultra-low temperature refrigerators, directly reducing the cost of supporting equipment for users. Compared to other models of the same level, the cold trap temperature of Songyuan Huaxing is only≤-55℃The pre freezing function requires additional customization; New Zhi Biological Basic Cold Trap Temperature≤-56℃To achieve-60℃Need to increase prices and upgrade, further pushing up costs.

2. Vacuum system: Hengmei chamber maximum vacuum degree<10PaEquipped with Pirani vacuum measuring gauge and vacuum micro adjustment ball valve, it can ensure precise and stable vacuum degree, and can be manually adjusted according to sample requirements to adapt to different material freeze-drying processes. Kassel Machinery has slightly better ultimate vacuum degree（≤8Pa）However, there is little difference and no adjustment function, which limits its practical value; Dongfulong vacuum degree≤5PaAlthough it has better performance, the price premium is too high, and non essential users do not need to pursue it.

3. Drying room system: Hengmei freeze-drying area0.09㎡, supports expanding multi manifold freeze-drying bottles and eggplant shaped bottles, can be expanded to0.19㎡, spacing between material trays85mmAnd the number of layers can be adjusted to adapt to different specifications of sample containers; The transparent clock cover design facilitates observation of the freeze-drying process, and the partition heating function（MAX 70℃）Can efficiently analyze and combine moisture. Comparison with Xinzhi Biotechnology0.18㎡ freeze-drying area, Hengmei has stronger expansion flexibility; The fixed layer design of Songyuan Huaxing has weak adaptability.

（3） Functional adaptability: Hengmei covers all scenarios and maximizes user friendliness

The application scenarios of vacuum freeze dryers are wide, and Hengmei achieves full coverage in multiple fields such as medicine, food, scientific research, agriculture, etc. with flexible configuration and humanized design. From the perspective of application scope, Hengmei can meet the active preservation of drugs and biological products, the nutritional retention of fruits, vegetables, and meat, the long-term storage of plant seeds, as well as the scientific research and experimental needs in the fields of environmental protection and materials. Its adaptability far exceeds that of single positioned brands such as Songyuan Huaxing (focusing on pharmaceutical pilot testing) and Dongfulong (focusing on pharmaceuticals).

In terms of operational convenience, Hengmei7The inch true color LCD touch screen interactive interface is user-friendly, displaying key parameters such as temperature, vacuum degree, and running time in real time, and automatically saving and supporting dataUSBExport for easy traceability and analysis of experimental data; The built-in maintenance reminder function and password protection mechanism not only lower the threshold for device maintenance, but also prevent non professionals from making mistakes. Although Xinzhi Biotechnology also has similar functions, its price is higher; Songyuan Huaxing and Kassel Machinery mostly use basic LCD displays, with a significant gap in operational convenience and data management capabilities.

（4） After sales guarantee: Hengmei's localized service advantages and controllable costs

The after-sales service of the equipment directly affects the user experience and maintenance costs. As a mainstream local brand, Hengmei has service outlets in many parts of the country, providing free installation and debugging services1Annual warranty, lifetime technical support, sufficient supply of accessories at affordable prices, and maintenance costs approximately equivalent to the equipment price5%/Year. Although Songyuan Huaxing also provides3Annual warranty, but higher accessory prices; Dongfulong and Xinzhi Biotechnology have a fast after-sales response, but their maintenance costs are as high as the equipment price10%/year and8%/The long-term usage cost is relatively high.

As a foreign brand, Kassel Machinery has few domestic service outlets, long after-sales response cycles, and imported parts. Not only does it have a long waiting time, but the cost also far exceeds that of local brands. For small and medium-sized users, the subsequent maintenance risk is relatively high.
