Technical Details
The BFD-5 Slim freeze dryer fits a wide range of freeze drying applications and meet the most demanding requirements of research and development laboratories. Enable operators processes freeze drying on a smaller scale and providing key data and insights.
Compact Size
The BFD-5 Slim freeze dryer is all-in-one design, all its subsystems and components (drying chamber, ice condenser, vacuum pump, refrigeration,hydraulic, 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 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-5 Slim 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-5 Slim 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.
Options and Accessories
- Stoppering system for vials closing under vacuum.
- Solvent package.
- Condenser & chamber isolation valve.
- Capacitive vacuum gauge.
- PC control and software.
