Description
Technical Parameters
The pilot freeze dryer is a widely used equipment in industrial production, which combines the essence of traditional drying technology with the achievements of modern technology, providing efficient and energy-saving solutions for material drying. This type of dryer is not only suitable for large-scale production lines, but also meets the needs of laboratories and small-scale production. Its application fields cover multiple industries such as food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental protection.
Its design also fully considers material properties and drying requirements. For example, for thermosensitive materials such as biological products, biopharmaceuticals, and enzyme preparations, the Chinese dryer adopts an instantaneous heating method, which means that the material is only subjected to high temperature when sprayed into mist like particles, thereby maintaining its active ingredients from being damaged. This design gives Chinese style dryers unique advantages in drying these special materials.

Product Models
Here is a comparison list between a standard pilot freeze dryer and a gland pilot freeze dryer:
● Purpose
- Standard Pilot Freeze Dryer: It is used for general freeze-drying applications, where the focus is on preserving the product's quality and characteristics.
- Gland Pilot Freeze Dryer: It is specifically designed for drying products that contain solvents or substances with high vapor pressure, focusing on efficient solvent recovery.
● Design
- Standard Pilot Freeze Dryer: It has a conventional design with a single condenser and a refrigeration system to remove moisture from the product.
- Gland Pilot Freeze Dryer: It features an additional gland unit that allows for the collection and separation of volatile solvents during the drying process.
● Solvent Recovery
- Standard Pilot Freeze Dryer: It does not have specific provisions for solvent recovery, as it is primarily used for non-solvent-based products.
- Gland Pilot Freeze Dryer: It incorporates a gland unit that enables the recovery of solvents, reducing waste and maximizing efficiency.
● Vacuum System
- Standard Pilot Freeze Dryer: It typically has a standard vacuum system suited for general freeze-drying purposes.
- Gland Pilot Freeze Dryer: It often includes a specialized vacuum system capable of handling solvents and high vapor pressure substances.
● Product Applications
- Standard Pilot Freeze Dryer: It is suitable for freeze-drying a wide range of products, including food, pharmaceuticals, and biological materials.
- Gland Pilot Freeze Dryer: It is commonly used for drying products that contain solvents, such as organic compounds, fine chemicals, and certain pharmaceutical formulations.
● Cost
- Standard Pilot Freeze Dryer: It generally has a lower cost compared to a gland pilot freeze dryer due to its simpler design and lack of specialized solvent recovery features.
- Gland Pilot Freeze Dryer: It may have a higher cost due to its specialized design and the inclusion of solvent recovery capabilities.
Product Structure
Pilot freeze dryer is suitable for preliminary small-scale processing and production. Unlike laboratory freeze dryer that use partitions to divide the freeze-drying chamber and cold trap into two layers: upper and lower, it have independent freeze-drying chambers and cold trap chambers.
The function of the cold trap is to capture sublimated water vapor. All pre-freezing and drying operations can be completed in the freeze-drying chamber without the need of manual operation. It is an ideal choice for freeze-drying machines, it has complex manufacturing processes and high manufacturing costs, it is suitable for freeze-drying of special products such as pharmaceuticals and biological products.
50 & 100 Series
The pilot freeze dryer, as one of the core equipment in freeze-drying technology, boasts a carefully designed and fully functional structure. The device consists of several key systems, each playing an integral role in its operation.
Refrigeration System: This is the core component of the pilot freeze dryer, responsible for providing the required low-temperature environment for the freeze-drying process. By precisely controlling the temperature, the refrigeration system ensures uniform cooling of the material, enabling efficient removal of water content.
Control System: The control system serves as the "brain" of the pilot freeze dryer, monitoring and regulating various parameters of the equipment. By accurately controlling key parameters such as temperature, pressure, and time, the control system ensures that the freeze-drying process follows the preset program, guaranteeing product quality and stability.
Vacuum System: The vacuum system's primary task is to create and maintain a high-vacuum environment during the freeze-drying process. This environment helps reduce the boiling point of water in the material, accelerating the sublimation process. Additionally, the high vacuum prevents oxygen contact with the material, avoiding possible oxidation reactions.
Circulation System: The circulation system is responsible for providing the necessary heat exchange during the freeze-drying process. By circulating the heat medium, this system ensures uniform heating or cooling of the material, improving freeze-drying efficiency and ensuring uniform product quality.
Hydraulic System:
The hydraulic system primarily provides power to drive various moving components of the pilot freeze dryer, such as the lifting of the freeze-drying chamber and the feeding of materials. Its stable operation is crucial for ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the freeze-drying process.
The structural design of the pilot freeze dryer has been meticulously planned, taking into account the intricacies and diversity of the freeze-drying process. By leveraging the synergistic interaction of its various systems, including the refrigeration, vacuum, and control systems, it achieves an efficient, stable, and controllable freeze-drying cycle. This ensures the production of high-quality, long-lasting, and easily transportable dried products, catering to the diverse needs of various industries.
