Pharmaceutical lyophilization for large-scale production
Ensuring consistent quality and contamination-free pharmaceutical products is challenging. This is especially true in large-scale production where efficiency and precision are critical and traditional drying methods do not suffice.
Achieve precise and safe freeze-drying
The LYOVAC® Pharma Freeze Dryer from GEA is designed to meet the stringent demands of large-scale pharmaceutical lyophilization. It features customizable configurations with production areas ranging from 1 to 60 m² and condenser capacities exceeding 1000 kg. The equipment can be arranged on one or multiple floors, allowing for convenient access to all parts while separating the cleanroom from technical areas. The unique shelf design ensures uniform drying results. Integrated with Automatic Loading and Unloading System (ALUS®), this dryer minimizes contamination risks and shortens processing times. For added safety and compliance, it offers advanced containment options such as isolators and Restricted Access Barrier Systems (RABS). The inclusion of LYOSPARK® technology enables controlled nucleation, enhancing product uniformity and reducing cycle duration. GEA offers fast track manufacturing, making it possible to have systems operational in under a year based on previous project complexities.
