Freeze Drying

The freeze dryer can be the heart of your business or the essential tool in a research program, so maintaining your equipment is vital. Freeze dryers are used for a wide range of products so service requirements vary widely. Maintaining the freeze dryer, regular monitoring of the fridge system and oil in the vacuum pump is critical, regular maintenance and calibration as well as accurate control systems ensures a uniform product.

To overlook some of these essential aspects of the operation of the freeze dryer can become costly as damage to the vacuum pump is generally the final result. Along with slow drying times and the failure of some batches this can add up to thousands of dollars.

AVT offers advice on service requirements as well as on-site servicing, consumables and the loan of a replacement pump in the event of a pump failure. If you are considering upgrading your control system look at our labview control systems, as one can be designed to run and monitor your freeze dryer.
