Industrial freeze dryer for biopharmaceuticals

Ensure the stability and longevity of your sensitive biopharmaceuticals through advanced freeze-drying, enhancing product quality while optimizing energy use with innovative shelf technology.

Freeze-Dries and Preserves Biopharmaceutical Products

The LYOFAST by IMA Life is an industrial freeze dryer designed specifically for the biopharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, focusing on reliable freeze-drying of high-value products such as vaccines, antibiotics, and monoclonal antibodies. It features a modular design with freeze-drying areas ranging from 4 m² to 50 m², optimizing your production efficiency. The use of patented FUSION™ shelves enhances energy efficiency by reducing weight and improving heat transfer, leading to a 20% reduction in energy consumption during sterilization and freeze drying. The LYOFAST system incorporates advanced PLC controls for precise processing and is compatible with various loading operations. Constructed from corrosion-resistant AISI 316L stainless steel, it ensures compliance with GMP standards, while the inclusion of PAT tools minimizes energy usage and reduces processing times. With customizable options for chamber geometry and shelf configurations, LYOFAST offers adaptable solutions tailored to your operational needs.
