FD-30F Series pilot freeze dryer for vial and bulk product processing; models: FD-30F-R (normal) and FD-30F-TP (with vial stoppering).
Designed for pharmaceuticals, vaccines, probiotics, polypeptides, biological samples and similar materials; in‑chamber pre-freezing avoids manual transfer and contamination.
GMP-configurable design with CE and ISO options; wall-pass (wall-cross) layout and air-cooled refrigeration available.
Refrigeration system
Dual-stage refrigeration with hermetic compressors for stable low-temperature performance and reduced noise.
Pressure control components from established manufacturers (e.g., Danfoss) and brazed-plate heat exchanger in the loop.
Condenser/cold-trap designed to reach very low temperatures (typical specification ≤ -75 °C; silicone-oil configurations reference down to ~ -86 °C).
Shelf temperature control range typically -50 °C to +70 °C (±1 °C at balance); air-cooled versions operate without additional room cooling equipment.
Dry chamber
Rectangular dry chamber enabling pre-freezing and drying in the same enclosure to reduce handling.
Chamber and shelves in polished SS304 (SS316 optional for product-contact parts); high-transmittance observation door and rounded inner corners for cleaning.
Silicone-oil circulation heating for high temperature precision (electric heating optional); each shelf inspected for roughness and flatness.
Condenser (cold trap)
Large-capacity stainless-steel condenser (SS304 standard, SS316 optional) with fast ice capture capability.
Independent cylinder-type cold trap available on selected models for easier ice removal and higher capture efficiency.
Patented gas diversion and electric defrost around condenser to improve trapping uniformity and simplify defrosting.
Circulation system
Shielded circulating pump (reputable brands) and PID-controlled electric heating for silicone-oil circulation; low-viscosity, low-temperature silicone oil recommended.
Circulation configuration fitted on FD-20F/30F/50F/100F/200F series as applicable.
FD-LYO control system
Manual, semi-auto and automatic control modes for pilot and small-batch production with PLC and graphic touch display.
Program storage (up to 32 programs, 36 segments each), real-time curve modification and USB data export; optional PC/APP remote monitoring available.
Sensor calibration, real-time alarms, historical alarm query and user-level password protection for process control and traceability.
Vacuum system
Standard two-stage rotary vane vacuum pump with adjustable vacuum control; optional high-performance pumps (Leybold/ULVAC/Edwards) for lower ultimate vacuum.
Typical ultimate vacuum ≤ 5 Pa and example pumping speed ~6 L/s (model and pump dependent); system designed for low leakage.
Safety protection
Integrated protection logic across electrical, refrigeration, vacuum and heating systems with interlocks and alarm indications.
Protections include vacuum-loss alarms, refrigeration and heating fault alarms, power-on/off safeguards and process interlocks to prevent material damage.
Other features
Normal (bulk) configuration for bulk products and stoppering configuration for in-chamber vial stoppering during or after drying.
Inerting and filling interfaces (inflatable/water valves with safety diaphragm) for inert gas operations to extend product shelf life.
Certificates and compliance options: CE, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001; configurable to GMP.
Main components / materials highlighted
Hermetic refrigeration compressors, Danfoss pressure units/valves and brazed-plate heat exchanger.
Condenser/cold trap in SS304 (SS316 optional), circulating pump (e.g., Grundfos) and silicone-oil circulation system.
PLC + touch display, recorder with USB export and optional PC/APP remote software; two-stage rotary vane vacuum pump standard.
Optional items
Wall-cross (GMP) layout and assembly, FD-LYO PC/remote control (WiFi/APP), higher-spec PLC/touchscreen and SS316 product-contact materials.
Alternative vacuum pump brands and higher-performance vacuum packages, electric or hot-gas defrost options.
