Lyophilizers (Pharma Freeze Dryers)
GEA supplies a comprehensive variety of standard and custom-built freeze dryers for the commercial-scale production of high-quality pharmaceutical products.
Fully automated and GMP-compliant, our portfolio of modular equipment ranges from standalone production plant to multi-floor, high-capacity systems as well as ALUS™ (Automatic Loading and Unloading System), integrated isolators and CIP-skids.
We also supply sophisticated solutions for highly potent products and fully integrated systems with multiple freeze dryers and loading systems that are compatible with third-party filling lines, cleanrooms and isolators.
The design and manufacture of each module and system component is done in accordance with all cGMP, CE, GAMP, ASME-BPE and 21 CFR Part 11 guidelines, meeting the strictest requirements and regulatory standards around the world.
In addition, the company’s retrofit expertise enables customers to extend the life of their freeze dryers, modernize their production lines, cope with changing regulations and comply with current requirements for environmentally friendly processing.
By ensuring security of outcome and batch safety, GEA lyophilizers help to reduce the cost of freeze drying while maintaining quality and performance, making validation and documentation easier and reducing delivery times.
