Lyophilizer Loading Equipment – Automatic

Automatic Loading and Unloading Systems
PennTechs customized Automatic Loading/Unloading Systems can be installed as part of a new freeze dryer installation and as retrofit with almost all existing freeze dryers.

Each system can be equipped with:

• Laminar Air Flow units (LAF)

• Closed Restricted Access Barrier System (c-RABS)
• Isolator

Lyophilizer Loading Equipment - Semi-Automatic
PennTech is proud to introduce its semi-automatic laoding and unloading systems for Lyophilizers. The semi-automatic loading and unloading system is very similiar to our fully automatic system. The difference lies in the transport of the vials from the infeed/outfeed (un)loading system to the lyophilizer. With the semi-automatic system, the cart is moved (to and from the lyophilizer) by the operator. Needless to say, with the automatic system, the AGV, (Automatic Guided Vehicle or "cart") travels to the lyophilizer or infeed/outfeed (un)loading station automatically, either via X-rail or via laser.

PennTech is the only US based manufacturer of automatic and semi-automatic lyophilizer loading/unloading systems.
