Freeze dryer | Pilot plants

For applications in the field of research and development, as well as small-scale production

Pilotgefriertrockner

Freeze dryers of this series are designed for the laboratory or product development. Depending on the size of the unit, the free-standing units have an ice capacity of 5 to 40 kg and a footprint of up to 2.7 m². These units are equipped as standard with a vacuum valve for regulating the vacuum and a separating valve between the drying chamber and the condenser. In relation to the footprint, these units are characterised by a compact design. The cladding is made entirely of stainless steel and is therefore resistant to all commercially available disinfectants.

Features / options of this series:

CIP (cleaning in place)
Spray nozzles mounted in the chamber and condenser ensure intensive cleaning.

SIP (sterilization in place) (from sublimator 15)
Chamber and condenser are designed as pressure vessels, so that steam sterilisation in place is possible. Alternatively, H2O2 is also possible.

GMP-FDA compliant
Taking the guidelines into account, the systems meet the highest demands for production in compliance with cleanroom standards. The exact requirements are defined and implemented together with you.

Liquid-tempered shelves made of stainless steel
For an even and rapid temperature distribution, the shelves are flooded with brine oil.

Closure device for vials
The shelves can be automatically moved together after the drying process to seal vials under vacuum conditions. The optimal preservation.

Air or water-cooled refrigeration system
Depending on the installation site, we can design the refrigeration systems to be air-cooled or water-cooled.

Wall mounting (gas-tight)
The front of the unit is installed gas-tight in a wall. This allows the service area to be separated from the production area.

Oil-sealed and oil-free vacuum pump
If organic solvents are present, it may be useful to use an oil-free vacuum pump.

Insulator- Glovebox coupling
The units can be connected to insulators via a connecting flange. Special designs are also possible.

Versch. Control systems, SCADA visualisation
We offer a variety of different visualisation and documentation systems.

EX-protection version ATEX,solvent discharge
If explosive gas mixtures are present, the systems can be equipped with explosion protection.
