Freeze & Vacuum Combination Dryer 

Lyophilization is one of the most demanding drying processes, so equipment reliability and process understanding matter as much as specification sheets. Kerone designs the shelf system for uniform temperature distribution, which directly influences cake appearance and batch-to-batch consistency. The condenser is sized for the maximum ice load and runs at a temperature low enough to capture vapour efficiently, protecting the vacuum pump and keeping chamber pressure steady. Our control systems allow stepwise recipes with defined freezing rates, annealing, primary-drying shelf temperatures and secondary-drying holds, together with data logging that supports quality records. Product-temperature probes and pressure-comparison methods help operators detect the end of primary drying rather than relying on fixed timers, saving energy and avoiding product collapse. Stainless-steel construction, clean internal geometry and cleaning provisions can be supplied to support hygiene and pharmaceutical expectations. With Kerone you receive a system matched to your product’s critical temperature, batch size and validation requirements.
