LG-125 Drying Chamber: Industrial Freeze-Drying Vessel Overview
The LG-125 drying chamber is the central component of the LG-125 vacuum Freeze-drying equipment, specifically designed for medium-scale industrial lyophilization. This stainless steel chamber provides a controlled environment where frozen materials undergo sublimation, transforming ice directly into vapor under low-pressure vacuum conditions.
The LG-125 drying chamber ensures uniform heat transfer, stable vacuum, and optimal drying efficiency, making it suitable for applications in food processing, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and agricultural product preservation.
The LG-125 drying chamber is engineered with precision and durability in mind:
Material: High-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and hygienic operation.
Shape: Horizontal cylindrical design to maximize tray capacity.
Door Type: Sealed, airtight doors with observation windows to monitor the drying process.
Insulation: High-performance thermal insulation ensures minimal energy loss.
Heating Shelves/Plates: Radiant heating shelves uniformly transfer heat to the frozen product.
Temperature Control: Automated control allows precise adjustment from ambient to 120°C, ensuring product integrity.
Heat Source: Closed-loop hot water or deionized water systems deliver stable heat under controlled pressure.
Tray Material: Aluminum alloy trays provide lightweight, corrosion-resistant support.
Tray Loading: Carts or racks allow smooth loading and unloading for batch production.
Tray Arrangement: Evenly spaced shelves ensure uniform airflow and heat distribution.
Vacuum Ports: Connect the chamber to pre-vacuum and maintenance pumps.
Pressure Sensors: Monitor chamber pressure, maintaining optimal low-pressure conditions for sublimation.
Valves: Automated vacuum valves regulate gas flow and maintain consistent vacuum levels.
The drying chamber is connected to a cold trap or ice condenser, which captures sublimated water vapor efficiently at –30°C to –40°C.
The condenser maintains the chamber vacuum and prevents condensation within the chamber.
The drying chamber operates as part of the vacuum freeze-drying process:
Pre-Freezing: Material is pre-frozen to –35°C or lower before entering the chamber.
Vacuum Initiation: The vacuum pump removes air and non-condensable gases, lowering chamber pressure.
Primary Drying (Sublimation): Heat from radiant shelves causes ice within the product to sublimate into water vapor.
Secondary Drying: Slight temperature increase removes residual bound moisture to achieve final water content below 5%.
The LG-125 drying chamber ensures controlled sublimation, minimizing structural deformation and preserving color, taste, and nutritional value.
