The LYOVAC® production-scale freeze dryer is a best-in-class solution for the pharmaceutical industry. In close collaboration with our customers, we design, build and customize them according to specific requirements.
LYOVAC® freeze dryers and their peripherical equipment can be arranged either on one or multiple floors. The condenser can be situated next to the drying chamber or directly underneath it. Either way, it ensures both easy access to the machine parts and complete separation between the cleanroom and the technical area.
A unique feature is the high quality of the in-house manufactured shelves. This is the heart of the machine and ensures an optimal temperature distribution, unform result and, consequently, the essential final product quality.
Several features of the LYOVAC® (see below) support the fastest processing times in the industry, offering increased productivity and commercial benefits.
The LYOVAC® range is also available using GEA’s unique Fast Track manufacturing process. Depending on the complexity of the installation and based on previously completed projects, it’s possible to have a system up and running in less than a year.

GEA Insights
The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Más allá de la máquina: cómo potenciar el rendimiento de la planta
El hecho de que una máquina sea eficiente no significa que la fábrica lo sea. La mejora real suele comenzar por ir más allá de los equipos individuales y comprender cómo los procesos, los sistemas energéticos y las decisiones operativas se influyen mutuamente. Se trata de un enfoque holístico diseñado para descubrir oportunidades que, de otro modo, podrían pasarse por alto.
Cómo una válvula transforma la manera de elaborar alimentos y bebidas
En las plantas de alimentación y bebidas, las válvulas suelen accionarse mediante aire comprimido. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology mueve las válvulas mediante agua, en un circuito cerrado controlado digitalmente. El resultado es una válvula que puede mantenerse en su sitio con exactitud y regularse con precisión. Esto se traduce en un menor consumo energético y un mayor control.
