Introduction
The BFD-10Plus freeze dryer is a smaller-scale version of commercial freeze dryer that mainly use in research and development laboratories or pilot plant to perform small scale production.
The BFD-10Plus comes with legacy fixed shelves and is designed especially to handle bulk goods.

Technical Details
The BFD-10Plus freeze dryer is all-in-one design, all its subsystems and components (drying chamber, ice condenser, vacuum pump, refrigeration, electric cabinet and the pipe work etc.) are constructed in a steel cabinet. With casters and height adjustable feet for easy moving and installing. The machine is pre-assembled and is comprehensively tested in our factory before it is shipped. User only need connect electric to put it into service.
Laboratory Equipment with Industrial Finish
The BFD-10Plus has the similar technical features and system performance to the industrial larger ones. Key components include drying chamber, shelves, ice condenser, pipes etc. are high quality stainless steel fabricated, long lasting and is easy to clean.
Sub-systems and components are industrial grade that suits 7*24*365 heavy use. The entire freeze dry system has been perfected over time by listening to our customer’s feedback and making key changes and improvements where needed.
2-Chamber System
Drying chamber and ice condenser are separate, connected by a spool piece and an isolation valve can be installed between to isolate air and to perform pressure rise test. The drying chamber is rectangular shape that offers maximum space using rate, and the ice condenser is cylindrical shape for easy defrost and water drain.
Fluid Based Shelf System
The shelves are sandwich type and are fluid based, which means the shelves are always temperature controlled. The fluid can be chilled and heated, and the temperature is settable. Thus, the BFD-10Plus system is capable of in place freeze and drying. Fluid based shelf system guarantees maximum temperature uniformity. And in-place freezing and drying reduce product transfer times and avoid contamination risk, ensures hygiene freeze drying.
Accurately Temperature Control
Fluid based shelf system has very high temperature controllability and temperature uniformity. With PID control, the temperature variance between heat-plates and plate points are less than +/-1C. Uniform temperature across the shelf system guarantees the highest and constant freeze dried quality between trays and between batches.
PLC Based Control System
Vekuma’s BFD-10Plus pilot freeze dryer provides control versatility with the most advanced PLC system and LYO-PILOT interface, which allows control of the freeze dryer functions via a user-friendly touch screen HMI and has the functions of:
- Alive display main components working status and key parameters.
- Freeze drying recipes management.
- Real-time freeze drying trend.
- Data logging and can be exported via USB.
- Automatic and semi-automatic working.
- Alarms information.
- Users, authorization and password.
- Probes and gauge calibration.
Options and Accessories
- S/S316L shelves and trays.
- S/S doors.
- Condenser & chamber isolation valve.
- Capacitive vacuum gauge.
- PC control and software.
- Eutectic point detector.
