MAGNUM Pilot Freeze Dryer

Offering up to 20 sq ft (1,85 sq M) of shelf area and a condensing rate of 30 liters, the Magnum Pilot Freeze Dryer stands out amongst the competition. This lyophilizer offers 30% more shelf area than most other units in its class.  While the Magnum is commonly used for R&D purposes in the lab, it is the perfect lyophilizer for small scale production.

Our easy-to-use software provides automatic freeze-drying, defrost, system and leak rate testing. Data can be printed either numerically or graphically. This same control system is used on industrial dryers, allowing scaling to production. An interactive maintenance screen simplifies component servicing. All systems are remotely accessible, with customer approval, for troubleshooting process issues.
