LYOVAC® Small-Scale Freeze Dryers

Extending its range of LYOVAC® freeze dryers, GEA now offers both integrated and standalone equipment for the production of small-scale batches and formulation or process development

Pilot Freeze Dryer LYOVAC® FCM 10-P

The highly flexible standalone FCM 10-P freeze dryer from GEA has been designed for the production of small-scale batches and formulation/process development. Also available as a wall-mounted option, this two-chamber unit is configured to industry standards.

With a capacity of 10 kg and shelf space of 0.63 m², the FCM 10-P also benefits from easy-access doors and spare flanges for validation and/or additional equipment.

Available options: 

  • IQ/OQ documentation and test performance
  • Wireless temperature sensors
  • Sterilization by VHP (VAPOVAC™) or steam depending on the availability of utilities
  • Process development service
  • LYOSPARK© controlled nucleation
  • LYOPLUS© mass spectrometer for silicone oil detection or alternative end-point detection
