For flexible product development and small-scale production, including the use of nests and tubs, the FCM-I range of LYOVAC® Freeze Dryers from GEA provides reliable, safe and cost-effective productivity and price/performance excellence.
Designed to comply with the most stringent good manufacturing practice (GMP) standards, the LYOVAC® FCM 25-I, FCM 75-I and FCM 150-I freeze dryers are a unique and efficient combination of proven technology and individual solutions that are customized to meet specific user requirements.
Built with operator safety in mind, full isolator protection for processes involving potent or toxic substances is available, and each unit is supplied with an integrated L-flange for the modular isolator system VarioSys®.
Supplied in three sizes (1.5 m², 4.5 m² and 9.9 m²) with nominal condenser capacities of 25 kg, 75 kg and 150 kg, the smaller FCM 25-I machine can process up to 6500 vials (2 mL) per batch, whereas the larger FCM 75-I and FCM 150-I units are capable of handling more than 20,000 and 42,000 similarly sized vials, respectively. An automatic loading and unloading system (ALUS®) is available.

The LYOVAC® freeze dryer offer the following features and benefits:
Plus, fully compatible with toxic, potent and volatile products, the FCM units are ATEX-compliant and designed for easy scale-up. Partial loading is also possible for variable batch sizes.
Operating in a Grade C environment, other modules, such as filling and capping systems, can be quickly and easily interchanged, resulting in both a dramatic reduction in footprint and equipment costs.
Available for rapid delivery — with low infrastructure requirements — for multiple product and/or delivery device lines, the modules offer an ideal solution for vial, ampoule, syringe and cartridge processing, as well as liquid, powder or lyophilized form applications.
GEA’s LYOVAC® industrial-scale freeze dryers are built to customer specifications and are available with production areas of 1–60 m² and condenser capacities of more than 1000 kg.
SMART LYO™ Freeze Dryers help reduce the cost of freeze drying while maintaining quality and performance, making validation and documentation easier and reducing delivery times.
LYOPLUS™ mass spectrometer is a multi-purpose measurement device for pharmaceutical freeze dryers.
ALUS® Automatic Load & Unload Systems minimize the risk of operator/product contamination while loading and unloading a freeze dryer.
