Freeze dryer loading and unloading systems for pharmaceutical processes
Optimize aseptic pharmaceutical processes with high-speed and semi-automatic freeze dryer loading systems that streamline vial handling, ensuring sterility and reducing human intervention for enhanced safety and productivity.

Loads and Unloads Vials for Lyophilization
The Hull RxR-36 and SALS-30 from Scientific Products are specialized systems for seamlessly loading and unloading vials in lyophilization processes. These systems excel in aseptic environments by leveraging automated conveyors and advanced sterile containment features to minimize human interaction, significantly enhancing product and operator safety. Designed for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical applications, they handle a range of end-products including vaccines, hormonal therapies, and protein-based biologics.
The RxR-36 model is tailored for high-speed operations, capable of processing up to 400 vials per minute, making it ideal for full line vial applications. In contrast, the SALS-30 offers a semi-automatic solution suitable for smaller batches with speeds of up to 70 vials per minute, optimizing workflow for narrower spaces.
Both models are constructed from AISI-304 stainless steel, ensuring durability and compliance with GMP standards. The systems provide easy decontamination through their design, which fully exposes surfaces during cleaning, guaranteeing effective sanitation. Integration with the Hull LyoConstellation range enables seamless transitions from development to production, fostering efficient product commercialization.
Engineered for customization, the Hull systems allow adaptation to specific project requirements, ensuring the equipment fits precisely into existing lines while supporting the regulatory needs of pharmaceutical manufacturers.
