Pilot Freeze Dryer BFD-20

BFD-20 Pilot Freeze Dryer

Small Scale Production Freeze Dryer

Vikumer’s BFD-20 freeze dryer is a lab scale production unit that has been designed specially to satisfy commercial small production. The machine is smaller-scale version of industrial freeze dryers that combines industrial equipment specifications and small batch flexibility, capable of simulating industrial freeze drying processes on a smaller scale.

The BFD-20 freeze dryer is equipped with the most advanced PLC and user friendly touch screen HMI based controller which allows user accurately control the freeze drying process and monitor key parameters.
