Pilot Top Press Freeze Dryer LPFD-A13

Our Labtron Pilot Top Press Freeze Dryer offers several advanced features designed to improve freeze-drying efficiency and product quality. It has a vacuum safety control system that continuously monitors vacuum pressure and can automatically shut down to protect the system if the vacuum level is not reached. It supports detailed data logging, recording real-time data such as vacuum pressure and temperature every minute, which can be saved and analysed offline for process optimization. The freeze dryer also allows customizable recipe storage with up to 50 recipes and 36 temperature stages per recipe, enabling precise control and repeatability. Its advanced PLC control system ensures smooth automatic or semi-automatic operation. Additionally, the system includes an inert gas inlet with a 0.2µm filter to prevent sample contamination and an endpoint detection feature to accurately identify when drying is complete. These features collectively make freeze-drying safer, more precise, and easier to monitor.

Our Labtron Pilot Top Press Freeze Dryer has a drying area of 0.3 m² and an ice holding capacity of 10 Kg, suitable for small to medium batch processing. It features shelves that can be controlled from -50 to +60 ? with uniform temperature distribution within ±1?, ensuring consistent drying. The shelf spacing of 90 mm and multiple layers allow loading of up to 1240 vials of Ø16 mm size or 650 vials of Ø22 mm size, accommodating a variety of sample volumes. It has a cold trap with a volume of 21 Liters that reaches temperatures as low as -86?, efficiently capturing moisture. The system operates at an ultimate vacuum of 1 Pa and uses air cooling for stable performance. Its compact dimensions and weight of 290 Kg make it a reliable and space-efficient choice. These specifications support the safe freeze-drying of heat-sensitive biological materials, vaccines, and injectable drugs commonly handled in pharmaceutical and biotech industries.

Real-time monitoring allows users to see critical parameters such as vacuum pressure, cold trap temperature, and shelf temperatures during the freeze-drying process via a 7-inch touchscreen. This immediate feedback helps operators make timely adjustments to ensure optimal drying conditions. Data is saved every minute, providing a detailed freeze-drying curve for each batch. The ability to access this data offline means users can analyse, print, and store records easily for quality control, regulatory compliance, and process improvement without needing continuous system access. This combination of real-time visibility and offline data management makes the freeze dryer both user-friendly and efficient for detailed process tracking.

The two imported hermetic compressors work together to provide fast and efficient refrigeration, crucial for maintaining the cold trap and shelf temperatures needed for freeze-drying. One compressor refrigerates the other, which enhances cooling capacity and system reliability. Using eco-friendly refrigerants ensures the system meets international safety and environmental standards, reducing its carbon footprint and making it safer to operate. The compressors also operate with low noise and vibration, contributing to a stable, smooth, and quiet working environment. This efficient refrigeration system is vital for rapid moisture removal and maintaining sample integrity during freeze-drying.

Our Labtron Pilot Top Press Freeze Dryer is ideal for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that need to freeze-dry temperature-sensitive products. It is commonly used for lyophilizing injectable formulations, vaccines, and various biological materials that require careful handling to preserve their stability and potency. The system’s precise temperature control, vacuum safety features, and contamination prevention mechanisms make it particularly suited for products that demand high-quality standards and regulatory compliance. It is perfect for small-scale testing, research, and development before scaling up to large production batches.
