Introduction
The BFD-5 series freeze dryers are the best solutions whatever for laboratory R+D or small scale production. User can select up to 6 shelves total 0.64m2 loading surface, coupling with a 35L ice condenser which capable of collect up to 10kgs vapors in 24hrs period.
The BFD-5 pilot freeze dryer available in bulk and stoppering type shelves. And offer customization service for system configuration.

Technical Details
The BFD-5 pilot freeze dryer is cGLP compliant and has the similar technical features to the commercial larger units such as the PLC based controller, versatile control system, temperature controlled shelves and pressure control. Which enable it fits a wide array of freeze drying applications from laboratory R+D to small batch test.
Easy to Install
The BFD-5 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 (and compressed air in some case) to put it into service.
2-Chamber System
Drying chamber and ice condenser are separate, connected by a spool piece and an isolation valve can be installed between 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.
Temperature Controlled Shelves
The shelves are sandwich type and is fluid based that enable heat transfer fluid circulates inside. The fluid can be chilled and heated, and the temperature is settable. Thus, the BFD-5 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.
Precisely Temperature Control
Fluid based shelf system has very high temperature controllability and without worry the temperature uniformity. As with PID control, the temperature variance between heat-plates and plate points are less than +/-1C. Uniform temperature across the shelf system directly influences the dried quality between trays and between batches, so that you can get constant freeze drying results, this is very import for your tests.
Advanced Control System
Vekuma’s BFD-5 laboratory 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.
