The Millrock Research Series is a new generation laboratory research shelf freeze dryer. Product can be loaded on the shelves and frozen prior to drying.

A rectangular chamber offers a compact profile with either stoppering or bulk assembly. Hydraulic stoppering is provided by a bottom up hydraulic cylinder. Both options have a radiant heat plate above the top shelf for uniform drying on all shelves. All internal surfaces are constructed of 316L stainless steel and offer a polish of 20 Ra or better.

A coil condenser is located between the product and the vacuum pump providing maximum condensing surface area and vacuum pump System Specifications protection. A 4" vapor port connects the two chambers, with a 6" option. An isolation valve can be added for end of drying testing. Hot gas is used for defrosting the condenser when drying is complete.

Fluid filled hollow shelves with a serpentine fluid path provide the most uniform shelf temperature possible resulting in consistent and repeatable drying. All units come with one product tray per shelf, either a removable bottom or bulk.

Options include a Shelf Latching Kit, Isolation Valve, Capacitance Manometer, Moisture Sensor, Clean Room Configuration, Sample Extractor, 6" vapor ports, and much more.
