Production Freeze Drying Equipment

Taking Freeze Drying to the Next Level

Millrock Technology provides Pharmaceutical quality (cGMP) and industrial grade freeze dryers that meet the most demanding application requirements. Systems are available in sizes that offer maximum throughput and finished product consistency. Matching the shelf area with condenser capacity can optimize system performance. The compressors, vacuum pumps, and fluid pumps are sized for the best system operating performance. As the science and equipment of freeze drying continues to evolve….Millrock freeze dryers are continuously updated with the latest features and technology to provide optimum performance. Let us help you make your freeze drying project a successful one.

Steam Sterile Freeze Dryer

Sterile Production Grade Freeze Dryers

Freeze Dryers used for processing pharmaceutical and viral products require sterilization between freeze drying runs. The most common form of sterilization is steam sterilization. Not only do steam sterilizable freeze dryers have to be capable of maintaining a full vacuum they also need to be capable of maintaining high temperature and high pressures, which requires special design consideration and construction. Millrock Technology provides steam sterilizable systems with either a cylindrical or rectangular chamber, to best fit the price and performance requirements of the application.

Non-Sterile Production Grade Freeze Dryers

Freeze Dryers used for Biotech and Industrial applications can vary greatly. To accommodate the large range of requirements, Millrock Technology offers systems in either 304 stainless steel for non-pharmaceutical applications and 316L stainless steel for pharmaceutical applications. Condenser assemblies can be internal or external with either bulk or stoppering style shelf assemblies. Cylindrical chambers offer cost savings and can be supplied up to 80 square feet in shelf area. Features such as isolation valves and clean-in-place (CIP) piping can be provided. Millrock Technology works with each customer to fit their specific application needs. Selecting the right components and the right controls is critical to a successful freeze dryer project.
