Freeze Dryer FDL-1000・2000

HOME > Freeze Dryer FDL-1000・2000

Versatile and Flexible Freeze Dryer

• Freeze dryer capable of integrating a  vacuum pump within the main unit

• Model FDL-1000 and FDL-2000

 

 

 

• Example of system configuration

♦ FDL-1000 features the trap temperature of -45°C, while FDL-2000 achieves the trap temperature of -80°C. Both models offer dehumidifying capacity of 4L and 3L per batch, respectively. Depending on the sample vessels, optional manifolds and drying chambers can be freely interchanged to configure a freeze-drying system. These unit-type freeze dryers can also accommodate an optional vacuum pump within the main unit.

 

• Bright, easy-to-read 3.4-inch LCD display

Equipped with an LCD screen, the system clearly displays not only the trap temperature and vacuum level but also the overall operational status at a glance.

• Simple operation

In Auto Mode operation, the system monitors the trap cooling temperature and vacuum level to notify when the sample vessel can be attached. After starting, operation is simplified to just attaching the flask and stopping the process once drying is complete (when using the manifold).

 

• Trap monitor

The optional trap monitoring system can be installed. The monitoring lamp allows you to check before reaching the maximum dehumidification capacity.

 

• Built-in timer function

The display of the vacuum pump’s operating cumulative time and freeze-drying time helps in determining the appropriate time for oil replacement in the vacuum pump and is useful for measuring sublimation time.

 

• Contamination prevention and nitrogen purge available

A 0.2 μm filter is installed at the air inlet to prevent contamination in the event of vacuum release. Nitrogen purging is also available to prevent sample oxidation.

 

• Countermeasures against power failure

In the event of a power failure, the vacuum pump will not automatically resume operation. This feature helps prevent splashing caused by bumping of samples that have thawed due to the power interruption (the power recovery time can be adjusted).

 

• Recorder output terminal

For drying data management, the unit is equipped with standard recording output terminals for vacuum pressure and trap temperature (A dedicated recorder connection cord is available as an option).

 

• Improved maintainability with pump slide base

The vacuum pump installation area features a sliding design, making oil changes and maintenance easier. Thanks to the notched slide base, oil can be drained easily during oil changes, and there is no concern about oil dripping onto the pump’s slide base plate.

 

• Vacuum pump-friendly construction

The drain and exhaust piping are separated, moisture will not be sucked directly into the vacuum pump even when power is restored. The defrost (hot gas) operation allows the trap barrier to remove ice that has formed on the trap.

 

• Fixing clamp for improved earthquake resistance

By using an acrylic base support, the manifold remains securely attached to the FDL main unit even after vacuum release, providing effective seismic protection. Additionally, the unit is equipped with a fixed plate that allows for securing the main unit with chains or other fastening methods.
