Pilot freeze dryer
RAYTM GEA Niro

The freeze drying pilot plant RAY 1 is used in the food and beverage industries for small-scale production of market samples and for pilot testing of new products prior to full-scale production. The RAY 1 also features easy cleaning and maintenance.

The RAYTM 1 plant is also used in bacterial and pharmaceutical applications.

The pilot plant RAYTM 1 is operated via a PC control system. Parameters are monitored and stored during the freeze drying process to provide full documentation of the process. This makes it possible to repeat the test with the same freeze drying characteristics.

Modem for remote control or troubleshooting can be integrated in the PC system.

Test runs with the RAYTM 1 provide excellent data for scaling up to industrial production, either in one of the Atlas RAYTM batch freeze dryers or in a CONRADTM continuous freeze drying plant.
