10Kg Pilot Freeze Dryer PLC Touch Screen Laboratory Freeze Dryers

10Kg/batch Pilot Freeze Dryer NovaDryer-PF10

Main Features:

1. Silicon oil-filled shelves with <1℃ uniformity eliminate hot spots that can degrade sensitive samples.
2. Optional Motorized top-press device seals vials in-vacuum, avoiding secondary pollution and humidity absorption.
3. Optional Inflation valve with dry nitrogen creates an inert atmosphere, protecting samples from oxidation.
4. Stainless steel cooling chamber and shelves provide a bio-inert, non-shedding, and easy-to-sterilize surface.
5. PID intelligent control system provides exceptional temperature stability, preventing thermal shock.
6. PLC system with temperature recording offers a verifiable record that sample integrity was maintained.
7. Adjustable and controllable tray temperature allows for gentle ramping tailored to sensitive thermal profiles.
8. World-class compressor ensures a stable, deep vacuum for consistent sublimation without melt-back.
9. Pre-cool drying remains in situ prevents sample disturbance and potential contamination during transfer.
10. Acrylic glass observation window allows for safe monitoring without breaking the vacuum seal.
11. Optional Eutectic point test device prevents collapse by scientifically determining safe drying temperatures.
12. Powder coated steel housing protects the unit from lab spills and corrosion.
13. Air cooling system prevents the risk of water leaks near electrical components.
14. Thermostatic defrost (on PF10 model) uses controlled heating for safe and thorough ice removal.
15. Programmable freeze-drying curve ensures the process is perfectly replicated for every batch.
16. LCD touch screen includes password protection features to prevent unauthorized parameter changes.
17. Strong water capturing ability ensures the sample's water vapor is efficiently removed, preventing re-absorption.
18. Less freeze drying time reduces the overall thermal stress on the sample.

About Freeze Drying Technology

An ancient preservation technique, freeze-drying (lyophilization) enhances portability by freezing materials and sublimating water via reduced pressure. Dating to 13th-century Andean Indians, it became advanced in the 1950s. World War II saw its first use for blood plasma preservation. Post-war, it entered consumer food sectors. In 1890, Albert Altmann successfully freeze-dried organ pieces, while 1920s patents covered rabies virus freeze-drying. The 1950s introduced ready-to-eat camping food. NASA leveraged freeze-drying for astronaut food, including famous ice cream on Apollo and Gemini missions. Nestlé’s 1965 freeze-dried instant coffee popularized the method. Early applications by Aztecs and Eskimos involved biological sample preservation. Modern freeze-drying employs designed chambers with heating to freeze products into solid granules, with size depending on chamber speed and geometry.

Key benefits: foods last 7–8 times longer than fresh, retain nutrients, save money, and offer convenience. Dairy products maintain nutrients and probiotics.

Senova freeze dryers, used in homes, businesses, labs, and biopharma, have provided 15 years of global innovation and support across 80+ countries, with a 2024 EU office launch.
