THE MODULAR SYSTEM
The Atlas RAYTM freeze dryers are
designed as modular systems. The cabinet, the heating plates and the vapour
condenser are built as individual units.
The modular design offers
a number of advantages during installation and operation:
- A shorter interval between order and commercial production thanks to quick
installation.
- Easy access for cleaning and maintenance.
- Local subcontracting becomes a viable option for dryer assembly.
RAY™ 8, 17, 30, 45 AND 50
A water
flushing de-icing system is used for the smaller RAYTM cabinets.
At the
end of every freeze drying cycle, the condenser is flushed with pre-heated
water. Ice in the condenser melts within 10 minutes, whereupon the water is
drained.
Water flushing is ideal for small systems.
RAYTM 75, 100, 125 AND 150 with CDI
The larger RAYTM cabinets incorporate Continuous De-Icing
system (CDI). The CDI system is fully automatic. It ensures:
- A maximum ice build-up to 5 mm (1/5"), resulting in a negligible
temperature drop over the ice and low energy consumption in the refrigeration
plant.
- Constant condenser capacity.
- High freeze drying capacity per square metre of tray surface.
- Short time from one charge to another.
- Higher overall profitability in your large-scale freeze drying process.
