LAB SERIES FREEZE DRYER -85
The Lab series is a laboratory size freeze dryer available in four different models. It is both a shelf and a manifold dryer.
Features & Benefits
Versatile Laboratory Freeze Dryer
High Capacity Internal Condenser
Advanced Refrigeration Technology
Fluid Filled Hollow Shelves for In-Chamber freezing and maximum temperature uniformity
Manifold option for drying flasks and Built in Shell freezer option
The Lab series is a laboratory size freeze dryer available in four different models. It is both a shelf and a manifold dryer. Your product can be loaded on the shelves and frozen prior to drying or can be frozen in an optional shell freezer for manifold drying.
A rectangular chamber offers a compact profile with either a three shelf stoppering or three shelf bulk assembly. Both options have a radiant heat plate above the top shelf for uniform drying on all shelves. All internal surfaces are constructed of 316L stainless steel and offer a polish of 20 Ra or better.
For the fastest drying rates and maximum pump protection the condenser is located inside the chamber beneath the bottom shelf. Hot gas is used for fast defrosting the condenser when drying is complete.
Fluid filled hollow shelves with a serpentine fluid path provide the most uniform shelf temperature possible and results in consistent and repeatable drying. All units come with one product tray per shelf, either a removable bottom or bulk. Each shelf comes equipped with it’s own product probe to allow for monitoring of heating and cooling of products on the PC/PLC Screen. Pneumatic ‘ram style’ stoppering is provided by a bottom up pneumatic cylinder, which is powered by a self-container air pump.
The unit comes with a PLC control system, a 12 liter internal condenser and a 200l/pm vacuum pump. Four product probes, a Pirani vacuum gauge, pressure control and backfill are all standard. On the stoppering units, three removable bottom trays are included, and three solid bottom trays are provided for bulk configuration. The unit is caster mounted for easy mobility.

Refrigeration System
High Reliable compressors are used to cool the shelves and the condenser. It has a design that has more than enough capacity to handle demanding drying runs.
Vacuum System
A 200LPM Leybold corrosion resistant vacuum pomp comes standard with this system. Pump down time to 100mTorr is les than 15 minutes, with an ultimate vacuum of less than 10mTorr. Vacuum control and gas back full are standard features of the system.
Opti-Dry/PLC Controls
The Laboratory series comes complete with the controls that we use on research systems: PLC Controls, a pc for programming, and data collection. Our easy to use system provides automatic freeze-drying, defrost, system and leak rate testing. An interactive maintenance screen simplifies component servicing. Data is stored and is easily printed either numerically or graphically.
Manifold
For drying flasks, an optional manifold can be added. The manifold installs on top of the unit and accommodates 12 vacuum valves.
Shelves
Shelf dimensions are 254x457mm, 63 mm Clearance. The unit includes one removable bottom tray per shelf.
