Pilot freeze-dryers are devices for process optimisation or small batch production in flasks (vials) or product trays.
Our wide range of models covers product capacities from 4 kg to 16 kg per drying cycle. The temperature-controlled shelves for your product are sized between 0.11 m² and 1.2 m².
The Epsilon 1-4 LSCplus freeze dryer is a very compact, general purpose high-performance laboratory and pilot unit for tabletop installation. The application area of this unit extends from routine drying operations to process optimisation tasks.
This unit is suitable for drying solid or liquid, mainly aqueous products in vials, ampoules, tubes, other glass containers or dishes.
The integrated drying manifold design facilitates the use of round-bottom flasks and wide-neck bottles.
The directly cooled and heated shelves made from Teflon coated solid aluminium enable especially fast cooling and heating processes.
