Impressive performance from virtual freeze dryer
The latest addition to the VirTis freeze dryer range is ideal for pilot scale bulk freeze drying applications, particularly those which require rapid freeze-drying and high condenser loading
Standard designs allow a choice in shelf area up to 45m2 and ice capacities up to 600kg, but with custom options available up to 135m2 and greater.
The 'screw stoppering' option is a patented design using two helical screws driving an upper reinforced plate to which the shelves are suspended.
No components enter or leave the chamber during operation.
With no hydraulic piston, no excessive height is needed in the machine room.
The system is non-particle shedding and sterilisable within the camber.
Complete flexibility in condenser positioning is made possible.
The LN2 refrigeration system option, developed with parent company Air Liquide, offers a real alternative to conventional refrigerants.
LN2 can be used either as a low-temperature solution or as the main cooling medium for both shelves and condenser offering better reliability, minimal maintenance, reduced noise, space, power and water cooling requirements.
Usifroid offers a choice in control systems to provide the user with the optimal solution.
Polaris2 is designed and developed following GAMP4 principles and complies with 21CFR Part 11 offering the user full programming capabilities.
Usifroid expertise with SMH systems also extends to in-house designed, fully automated loading and unloading systems. Request a free brochure from Biopharma Process Systems ...
