GEA Lyophil production Freeze Dryers are either non sterilisable units or steam respectively VHP sterilisable units.

 

 

Lyophilization Production Systems

Automation and highest contamination prevention.

The handling of pharmaceutical substances such as cytostatics creates a high need for operator and product protection.  A typical Freeze Dryer Production System incorporates the following components:

Pilot Plants

For R & D and Small Scale Production

Shelf Size 0.4 - 8 m2

 

Lab Units

For Laboratories, Universities and Research Institutes

Shelf Size 0.1 - 0.3 m2

 

Features of the freeze dryers include:

  • Choice of configurations, e.g. monoblock, 2-floor configurations
  • Various door configurations, including re-cooling, slot doors and many more
  • Reciprocating and screw compressors systems as well as LN2 cooling systems
  • Automatic CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilisation-in Place) systems offer product protection, prevent contamination and increase the productivity by allowing a reduction in the number of staff needed to operate the equipment
  • AutomaticWIT (Water Intrusion Test) of the venting filters ensures integrity and increases the availability of the unit
  • Monitored stainless steel stoppering bellow
  • Proven vacuum pump system technology
  • VHP Technology: a cost saving and environmentally friendly alternative to steam sterilisation
