Pharmaceutical freeze dryer for large-scale production

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, maintaining product stability and extending shelf life is critical. Traditional drying methods often fail to effectively preserve sensitive biomolecules, leading to potential degradation and loss of efficacy. This is particularly crucial for large-scale production where consistency and compliance with stringent regulatory standards are required.

Reduce costs while maintaining high-quality freeze drying

The SMART LYO® Pharma Freeze Dryer from GEA is designed for efficient and consistent freeze drying in pharmaceutical applications. Available in shelf sizes from 6.7 to 41.2 m² and with a condenser capacity of up to 800 kg, it accommodates a wide range of batch sizes. The system includes a compact chamber/condenser unit and integrates key modules such as the hydraulics, venting system, and vacuum, all constructed on a single-floor plant frame to simplify commissioning. The SMART LYO® is fully compatible with the ALUS® Automatic Loading and Unloading System, minimizing the risk of contamination during processing. Its design allows for the refrigeration unit to be installed remotely, adapting to various installation infrastructures. The equipment conforms to GAMP, cGMP, and FDA guidelines, ensuring compliance with the highest industry standards.
