PRODUCTIVITY

This machine features a completely new design and approach to freeze drying. The drawers can be accessed from the side. The lower part of the machine is a schockfroster. You can quickly load from the schockfroster to the machine without losing valuable time. Defrosting is faster and cleaner compared to any other machine and the ice is reused to save energy on the next batch.

This model uses a sliding transparent vacuum chamber to make a way to collect the ice and to make use of it for the next batch of production, reducing energy usage up to 40%.

Benefits of the industrial-scale FD500

Scalability:

Optimised flow, pressure and heat input secure a smooth up-scaling from FD30 pilot size to FD500 full scale

Reduced utility investment and maintenance:

For e.g. the heating for sublimation is done by electric heating elements, eliminating the need for a water or silicone heating system

Improved product integrity:

The risk of contamination by leaking water or silicone oil is eliminated using electrical heating elements for sublimation

Improved cleanability:

An isolated external condenser chamber combined with a state-of-the-art general hygienic design, means that the cleanability of the freeze dryer is very high

Skid-mounted:

The freeze dryer is delivered as a skid-mounted assembly in a standard container – tested and ready for installation. This minimises the need for on-site fabrication and reduces the erection time

 

The FD500 offers the highest hygienic standard in the industry and its flexibility enables it to be used in many setups and applications. The FD500 dryer is a plug-and-play freeze dryer that can optionally be delivered with CIP spray nozzles installed for full coverage of CIP- liquid.

FD500 is a hygienic bulk freeze dryer with an external condenser that can be isolated from the drying chamber. Heating for sublimation is supplied by electrical heating elements securing a uniform temperature gradient across the entire tray surface area. This construction offers the highest level of hygienic design and eliminates the risk of silicone oil and heating water leakages within the chamber as well as reduced maintenance costs.

The design is optimised for upscaling and easy maintenance. The FD500 dryer features CIP spray nozzles which are installed for full coverage of the CIP liquid. It is manufactured from stainless steel, and all surfaces wetted by CIP-liquid are documented with either 3.1, FDA and/or FCM certificate.

Each module is designed for a complete assembly and function test in the SD Freeze Drying factory and will be shipped in a 20’ container ready for installation – plug-and-play.
