Freeze-dehydration (lyophilization) involves three core stages:
Freezing: Materials are rapidly cooled below their triple point, forming stable ice crystals.
Primary Drying (Sublimation): Under high vacuum (typically <0.1 mbar), ice directly sublimates into water vapor, which is condensed by a cold trap.
Secondary Drying (Desorption): Bound moisture is removed by raising the temperature, ensuring residual moisture is below 1–4%.
This process preserves cellular structure, making it superior to traditional drying methods for heat-sensitive items.
Compact & Durable:
Stainless steel chamber with double-seal door ensures airtightness and corrosion resistance; small footprint suits lab or workshop spaces.
Intelligent Control:
Touchscreen interface + microcomputer system enables precise temperature programming (-50°C to +80°C) and real-time data monitoring.
Efficient Performance:
High-performance vacuum pump (≤ 0.05 mbar) and dual refrigeration system ensure stable low-temperature conditions; 6–8 layers of shelves support flexible batch processing.
Easy Maintenance:
Modular design simplifies cleaning and component replacement.
