Technical Details

Vekuma’s BFD pilot freeze dryers are entirely stainless steel finished, rugged, programmable freeze drying process controls and provide a variety of tailored options for your specific needs. Typical applications for these freeze dryers include recipe development, process optimization, diagnostic production, small volume trials, laboratory R+D and scale-up.

BFD series pilot plant freeze dryers available in two different shelf configurations: Fixed shelves for freeze dry bulk materials which are loaded in trays; Stoppering shelves can flexibly move up or down, thus, it is adapt to vaccines and injection formulations which are loaded in vials, capable of capping the vials after being dried.

PLC Based Control System

The control system of the BFD freeze dryers are PLC and user-friendly touch screen HMI based. Industrial grade, professional functions, accuratly control the entire freeze drying process. Which has the functions of:

  • Graphic displays main components working status and key parameters.
  • Freeze drying recipes management.
  • Real-time freeze drying curve and historical curve review.
  • Data-logging and can be exported via USB.
  • Automatic and semi-automatic working.
  • Users, level and password.
  • Probes and gauge calibration.
  • System alarms.
  • System settings.
