The Xiros high-performance freeze dryer is a versatile and customizable system used in the global pharmaceutical industry for the process of freeze-drying. With over 5,000 units sold worldwide, it is a reliable and popular choice for pharmaceutical companies. The system is available in various sizes, with ice condenser capacities ranging from 10 kg to 1,000 kg and beyond. The product is ETL and CE-rated for safety, and all machines are available in EURO or FDA GMP ready. The Xiros freeze dryer is designed with rounded edges and corners for easy cleaning and has high-performance condenser coils made from polished AISI-304L stainless steel tubing. The vacuum system uses a vacuum pump and a mechanical booster pump to achieve better vacuum, with an optional Edwards or equivalent dry pump to avoid product contamination from back-streaming vacuum oil. The control system has optional 21 CFR Part 11 and cGAMP compliance and offers recipe management and access control according to authority levels.
