Pilot20 Freeze Dryer

The Pilot20 pilot production freeze dryer is the ideal machine to stabilize batches. It has the same features of production freeze drying units. Which means you will have a seamless technology transfer process from lab to commercial production.

• All in one design, all machinery involved the operation of freeze dryer correct mount on a steel frame, covered in a stainless steel box. All sides doors can be opened for maintenance. Casters and height-adjustable feet installed for each move and settle.
• Vacuum pump external install besides freeze dryer, easy maintenance.
• Drying chamber, ice condenser and internal accessories (shelves, plates, trays, coils, fittings) are fabricated from high quality stainless steel.
• Stainless steel door, with window, with illuminator.
• Professional control system:
  • Based on PLC and user-friendly touch screen.
  • Automatic and semi-automatic running.
  • Key components working information display.
  • Freeze drying recipes management.
  • Freeze drying data and curve alive display.
  • Logic interlock avoid mis-operation, parts damage and freeze drying fail.
  • Alarm information.
  • Debug model.
• Touch screen flexible install left, right or upper side of drying chamber door.
• Bulk type or stoppering type shelves can be selected.
• Bulk type shelves, all plates are fixed, fit bulk materials drying in trays.
• Stoppering shelves, plates are flexible, can move up or down, fit vaccines that drying in vials and later capping under vacuum environment.
• Efficient design of shelves, plates cooling and heating rate >1C/min.
• Efficient design of ice condenser, cooled by coolant direct expand, lowest -85C.
