Freeze dryer incl. loading/unloading system

Stabilizing temperature-sensitive products is a major quality prerequisite. But how to achieve this in a reliable way? The answer is freeze drying with our flexible lyophilization process. We have built the matching technology into a highly scalable system, allowing you to lyophilize small to large batches of thermolabile products, such as oncological medicines, vaccines, or antibodies. The system’s modular concept perfectly adapts to your working environment and can be fully integrated into an entire range of GMP-compliant machines. Our patented loading/unloading system ensures safe and efficient processes while saving a considerable amount of space.

Maximum process safety with a small footprint – these are only two benefits of the patented freeze dryer loading system from Schoeller Bleckmann Medizintechnik (SBM). It also includes a new front pusher to safely load vials into the freeze dryer. Check out the video to see how!

The freeze dryer developed by the Syntegon subsidiary SBM is a true allrounder. It combines modularity and a flexibile design, making optimum use of the available space while processing a wide array of container sizes and formats. As such, the GMP-compliant freeze dryer is not only suited to produce small and large batches. It also pays off regarding energy efficiency: especially light product shelves reduce the amount of material that needs cooling and heating. These intelligent solutions help to significantly shorten secondary processes and contribute to the freeze dryer’s energy-saving potential.

Benefits:

Harmonized interfaces, components, and documentation for use with upstream and downstream equipment from Syntegon
Optimized temperature distribution on the shelves
Continuous height adjustment of the slot door opening

Ensuring maximum process safety with a small footprint – these are only two benefits of the patented freeze dryer loading system from the Syntegon subsidiary Schoeller Bleckmann Medizintechnik (SBM). It also includes a new front pusher design to load vials into the freeze dryer using the linear pushing and pulling motion of a transfer arm. As a servo-driven device, the compact arm ensures gentle handling and saves space in the fill-finish area, making it possible to install the loading system within isolator dimensions.

Benefits:

Conveniently accessible components via glove ports
Easy cleaning, sterilizing and maintenance
Drive unit outside of the process area for enhanced isolator sterility
