Food freeze dryers

Freeze dryers of this series are designed for drying bulk materials. Often food products such as fruits, berries and truffles, as well as herbs and cannabis are dried with these freeze dryers. In addition, these units are used in the production of animal feed. The units have an ice capacity of up to 1,200 kg and, depending on the unit/design, a footprint of up to 90 m². The “R” of the EKS-R series stands for “Radiation”. This means that the shelves are heated via radiant heat from the water-flooded shelves. This is why we speak of radiation drying. The suspended drying trays have no direct contact. This arrangement ensures uniform temperature distribution and drying in the product. In addition, drying is comparatively fast due to the larger surface area of the bulk materials.

Production scale freeze dryers

Above a certain size, we manufacture specifically according to your requirements in terms of footprint size, number, performance and layout. The customer’s requirements vary enormously for larger freeze dryers. With our very wide product range of already realised projects, we are well equipped for your requirements in addition to the completely possible special plant construction. We manufacture all systems in our factory. From planning to implementation – everything from a single source.

Areas of application for this type of freeze-drying plant are the pharmaceutical industry, life sciences and, for example, biotechnology. We will work with you to develop a system that is perfectly tailored to your needs.

Pilote scale freeze dryers

Freeze dryers of this series are designed for the laboratory or product development. Depending on the size of the unit, the free-standing units have an ice capacity of 5 to 40 kg and a footprint of up to 2.7 m². These units are equipped as standard with a vacuum valve for regulating the vacuum and a separating valve between the drying chamber and the condenser. In relation to the footprint, these units are characterised by a compact design. The cladding is made entirely of stainless steel and is therefore resistant to all commercially available disinfectants.

Laboratory freeze dryers

VaCo Series Laboratory Freeze Dryer

The VaCo series is the entry-level freeze dryer and lyophilizer. A modular system makes the laboratory freeze dryer perfectly suitable for a wide range of tasks in your laboratory. The housing is made of robust stainless steel. Different modules can be used with the basic unit, depending on the application. The units are optionally available with a -50 °C condenser or -80 °C condenser and are built according to new EU F-Gases Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014. Environmentally friendly natural refrigerants are used.
