Freeze drying systems for pharmaceutical production
In pharmaceutical production, freeze drying is crucial for preserving the integrity and stability of sensitive biological products. Traditional methods may not meet the high standards and specific needs of this industry in terms of size, number, performance, and layout.

Customized freeze drying tailored to your specifications
The production freeze drying systems from Zirbus are designed to meet the diverse and stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical industry. With a flexible design process, Zirbus manufactures each system according to your specific size, performance, and layout needs. The total shelf area ranges from 3 to 60 square meters, while ice condensor capacities vary between 50 and 1,200 kilograms. Temperature controls enable shelf spaces of -40 to +60°C, with optional ranges of -55 to +60°C for more demanding applications, and condenser temperatures of -50°C, optionally down to -75°C. The systems are built in compliance with GMP standards and feature capacitive vacuum sensors, CIP/SIP cleaning and sterilization, Pharma-grade GMP design including documentation (IQ, OQ), and process visualization according to 21 CFR Part 11. Zirbus technology GmbH handles everything from planning to implementation, ensuring a fully integrated product specifically tailored to your needs.
