Pilot Freeze Dryers by Zirbus are high-quality systems engineered for laboratory and product development. Offered by Apex Scientific in South Africa, these reliable lyophilizers are ideal for pilot-scale research and pre-production testing. With ice capacities ranging from 5 to 40 kg, they meet a variety of freeze-drying requirements while maintaining a compact footprint of up to 2.7 m².
Designed for Laboratory Versatility
These Pilot Freeze Dryers include a standard vacuum valve for precise control and a separating valve that maintains a clear barrier between the condenser and the drying chamber. This setup ensures consistent results and greater process efficiency. Whether you’re testing new formulations or scaling up, the design supports smooth transitions between applications.
Robust and Hygienic Build
Constructed entirely from stainless steel, these units are resistant to all common disinfectants. Their durable build is well-suited for demanding laboratory environments that require frequent cleaning and long-term reliability.
Compact Yet Powerful
Despite their strong performance, these freeze dryers maintain a space-efficient design. This balance makes them ideal for research facilities with limited lab space but a need for scalable freeze-drying capability.
