Pilot Standard Freeze Dryer LPFD-G11

Our Labtron Pilot Standard Freeze Dryer offers a drying area of 0.24 square meters, making it ideal for small-scale laboratory and pilot testing. It includes 3 shelves plus 1 additional layer, each measuring 260 × 300 mm. The shelves are spaced 60 mm apart to support efficient air and temperature flow during drying. The system can handle a bulk drug load of up to 2.4 kg per batch, along with vial capacities of 960 (Ø16 mm) or 550 (Ø22 mm), allowing flexibility for different sample sizes and applications.

Our Labtron freeze dryer uses a silicone-oil-based system to circulate heat transfer fluid through the shelves, ensuring high-precision temperature control. The shelf temperature can be set between -45°C and +50°C, and under no-load conditions, it can reach as low as -55°C. The system maintains a temperature uniformity of ±1°C under stable operation, which is essential for consistent product quality and reliable results, especially when drying sensitive pharmaceuticals or biological samples.

Our freeze dryer comes with a 7-inch touchscreen interface and an advanced PLC system that supports both automatic and semi-automatic operations. It can store up to 50 customizable freeze-drying recipes, each with adjustable stages and timing. The system intelligently waits until the setpoint is reached before starting each stage, and users can modify parameters in real time. Additionally, the device monitors key data like vacuum pressure and shelf temperature and displays this information in real-time graphs. These graphs can be exported, and freeze-drying curves can be saved as PDFs for easy review, printing, or storage.

Our Labtron’s freeze dryer is equipped with two interconnected hermetic compressors that use eco-friendly refrigerants for rapid and efficient cooling. This design not only supports fast temperature drops but also ensures quiet operation with minimal vibration, making it suitable for lab environments. The system includes a two-stage rotary vane vacuum pump that achieves a no-load vacuum pressure of 5 Pa and an ultimate vacuum of 1 Pa, both necessary for effective freeze-drying. The molded T-structure embedded in the vacuum chamber door and cold trap enhances sealing, preventing leaks and improving reliability.

Our Labtron’s freeze dryer is designed for small-scale testing and the preservation of sensitive materials such as medicines, food products, and biological samples. It is widely used in pharmaceutical development for drying vaccines, injectable drugs, and lab samples. In the food industry, it helps preserve taste, texture, and nutrition by drying fruits, herbs, or ready meals. It also supports biotech and academic research where precise control of drying conditions is necessary. With its advanced features and reliable performance, it helps bridge the gap between research and full-scale production.
