The Magnum™ Series Freeze Dryer provides the maximum shelf space possible from phase one research to clinical production and small volume production.

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 protection.With the ability to add an optional isolation valve, a 6″ vapor port connects the two chambers. An isolation valve can be used 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 and results in consistent and repeatable drying when using the Magnum™ Series Freeze Dryer. 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″/8″ vapor ports, and much more.
