Freeze Dryer / Lyophilizer
Freeze Dryer / Lyophilizer
Mechotech engineers and manufactures the Freeze Dryer / Lyophilizer as turnkey process equipment for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and botanical processing lines that need to dry heat-sensitive materials without exposing them to elevated temperature. Each unit is designed around the client's specific process parameters and target output, then fabricated, installed, and commissioned by Mechotech as a single accountable scope.
The Freeze Dryer / Lyophilizer is built in SS 316L (or a process-appropriate grade) around a refrigerated drying chamber and condenser, in which the pre-frozen material is dried by sublimation — ice passing directly to vapour under vacuum — rather than by conventional heat drying, with electropolished product-contact surfaces and integrated instrumentation so it can be cleaned in place between batches and operated under PLC-based control. Capacity is configured to the customer's requirement, from pilot-scale systems for process validation to larger commercial installations with modular expansion, and every unit is delivered with full documentation to support GMP and regulatory qualification.
Process Flow
Manufacturing Process
Engineering & Design
Mechotech's process engineers size and configure the Freeze Dryer / Lyophilizer around the client's feed material, shelf/tray load, and target output specification before fabrication begins.
Fabrication & Assembly
The drying chamber, condenser, and refrigeration system are fabricated in SS 316L (or a process-appropriate grade), with instrumentation and control automation integrated during assembly rather than added afterward.
Installation & Commissioning
The completed system is installed at the client's site, commissioned, and performance-verified as a single accountable unit before handover.
Applications
- Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical process manufacturing
- Botanical and herbal extraction industries
- Food and flavour processing
- Export to regulated-market equipment buyers
Key Features
GMP-Compliant Construction
Electropolished product-contact surfaces meet WHO-GMP and Schedule M requirements, and the chamber is cleaned in place (CIP) between batches.
Turnkey Engineering
Design, fabrication, installation, and commissioning are delivered as one accountable scope, so the client deals with a single engineering team from drawing to handover.
Scalable Capacity
The dryer is sized to the customer's requirement, from pilot-scale validation through to commercial capacity, with modular expansion as production grows.
