Refrigeration system for freeze drying
Achieve ultra low-temperature cooling for freeze drying, ensuring environmental compliance and greater efficiency without the use of harmful refrigerants.
Cools and Recovers Heat in Freeze Drying
The KryoAir refrigeration system from IMA Life revolutionizes freeze drying for pharmaceuticals and biotechnologies with its eco-friendly air-based cooling. Employing a series of compression, cooling, and expansion steps, this system achieves temperatures as low as -100°C, ensuring efficient removal of moisture in the production of lyophilized vaccines and biologics. By integrating a turbo compressor expander and a thermal energy storage unit without moving parts, KryoAir enhances energy efficiency and reduces operational costs. It’s compatible with rigorous environmental standards, eliminating ozone-depleting refrigerants. Specifically designed for continuous and high-speed operations, the system supports seamless integration into your existing freeze-drying lines, offering reliable, low-maintenance refrigeration for aseptic processing and ensuring compliance with stringent industry regulations.
