Pilot freeze dryers for research and development
In research and development settings, controlling moisture content in small-scale biological or chemical samples is critical. Traditional drying methods may not maintain the integrity of sensitive materials, requiring advanced drying techniques to achieve desired outcomes.

Efficiently remove moisture from research samples
The Zirbus Pilot Freeze Dryer series offers versatile drying solutions tailored for laboratory and product development applications. These compact units, built with stainless steel cladding, are resistant to common disinfectants and feature ice capacities ranging from 5 to 40 kg. Designed for precision, each unit comes with a vacuum valve for regulating pressure and a separating valve between the drying chamber and condenser. Depending on the model, external dimensions range from 970 mm x 1700 mm x 750 mm to 980 mm x 1920 mm x 1650 mm. Options include configurations for tray and vial drying, ensuring adaptability for various research needs. Features like CIP (cleaning in place), SIP (sterilization in place), and GMP-FDA compliance make these dryers ideal for high-standard environments. With liquid-tempered stainless steel shelves for rapid temperature distribution and customizable configurations for refrigeration and vacuum systems, these dryers are designed for efficiency and reliability.
