Pilot Standard Freeze Dryer LPFD-G10

Our Labtron Pilot Standard Freeze Dryer offers a drying area of 0.16 square meters, which is suitable for small-scale laboratory or pilot production use. It has the capacity to hold up to 6 kilograms of ice during the freeze-drying process. The system features two main shelves plus an additional layer, each with dimensions of 260 by 300 millimetres. The shelves are spaced 93 millimetres apart, allowing for efficient airflow and heat transfer. This configuration supports the drying of a variety of sample sizes, including vials and bulk materials, making it versatile for pharmaceutical, food, and biological research.

Our Labtron freeze dryer incorporates advanced technology where shelves circulate a heat transfer fluid, ensuring consistent temperature distribution across all samples. Additionally, it uses a special silicone-oil-based heat transfer system that improves temperature accuracy significantly. The shelves operate within a wide temperature range of -45°C to +50°C, with a no-load temperature capability reaching as low as -55°C. The system maintains temperature uniformity within ±1°C, which is critical for achieving reliable and reproducible freeze-drying results. This precise control helps protect delicate materials and ensures optimal product quality.

Equipped with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system, the Labtron freeze dryer offers automated and precise control over the freeze-drying process. Users can store up to 50 customized freeze-drying recipes, each containing up to 36 temperature control stages, with adjustable times for each step. The system intelligently waits to start timing until the set temperature is reached, enhancing accuracy. Real-time performance graphs display vital parameters like vacuum pressure, cold trap temperature, and shelf temperature, allowing users to monitor the process closely. Additionally, data can be saved every minute and exported as PDF reports for easy analysis and documentation, supporting thorough process validation.

The refrigeration system in the Labtron freeze dryer is powered by two imported hermetic compressors connected so that one compressor cools the other, allowing rapid and efficient refrigeration. This dual-compressor design reduces vibration and noise, creating a stable operating environment. The system uses environmentally friendly refrigerants that comply with international safety standards, ensuring it is safe and sustainable. For vacuum generation, the freeze dryer includes a two-stage rotary vane vacuum pump capable of reaching an ultimate vacuum as low as 1 Pascal. Achieving such low vacuum levels is essential to remove moisture effectively during freeze drying, especially for sensitive pharmaceutical and biological materials.

Our Labtron Pilot Standard Freeze Dryer is widely used for small-scale testing and development in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and food industries. It helps researchers develop and optimize freeze-drying processes for medicines, vaccines, enzymes, and other biological samples, ensuring they maintain stability and efficacy. Its precise control and data monitoring make it ideal for scaling up formulations before large-scale industrial production. The freeze dryer supports innovation and quality control by providing reliable, repeatable results in a laboratory setting.
