Martin Christ Freeze Dryers

Specific plant construction

Many years of experience and know-how in the production of freeze dryers means we can offer individual application driven solutions to customers demands. We are able to offer variations and flexibility in mechanical and electronical design (plant layout, sterilization methods like SIP and H2O2, vacuum-, refrigeration- and control systems, CIP, ice condense r capacity, shelf area) to meet customers´ specification.

All units from Christ fulfil highest standards on materials used and functional safety and ca be extended for future operations. Modern control electronics simplify user operation and allow the storage of programs, so that processes can be reproduced. The units comply to international regulations such as GMP, FDA, GAMP, PIC.

CHRIST pride themselves on offering full customer support from engineering, installation, start-up and training to a competent service for the entire operation period of the freeze dryer.

Typical production-scale freeze dryers will be produced with ice condenser capacities from 20 to more than 800 kg. Depending on type of the material or individual process requirements single- or double-chamber systems can be provided.

Examples for customer specific plant construction:
