Freeze-drying systems for your high-quality product manufacturing We support you all the way from the first laboratory trials through the demanding task of process development to the high-quality production of your valuable products. Our many years of experience and expertise in the design and manufacture of production systems enables us to provide application-specific solutions fully tailored to the needs of our customers. We typically manufacture production systems with ice condenser capacities from 20 kg to 500 kg or more. Either single-chamber or double-chamber systems can be used, depending on the characteristics of the product.
We cover the full spectrum of typical applications with three basic system types. Production systems for aseptic production of active ingredients (double-chamber systems) Non-sterile pharmaceutical and diagnostic processes Loading and unloading system LyoShuttle Drive Drying bulk materials (single-chamber systems)

Loading and unloading system LyoShuttle DriveThe product range of the Martin Christ Company has been expanded to include the new, patent-pending LyoShuttle Drive automated loading and unloading system. The freeze-dryer is loaded by a loading robot that uses timing belts to move horizontally. The loading robot moves on a set of rails mounted at the constant loading level alongside the shelf set. Motive force is provided by battery-powered stepper motors. The batteries are charged wirelessly when the robot is in the parked position in front of the freeze-dryer. The loading robot communicates wirelessly with the controller. Thanks to its flexible and space-saving construction, the LyoShuttle Drive option is particularly suitable for production freeze dryers in the pharmaceutical field, including under insulated conditions, and requires significantly less space.
The LyoShuttle Drive system from Martin Christ has outstanding advantages to ensure product quality and production reliability:

Drying bulk materials (single-chamber systems)Christ Epsilon single-chamber systems are always a good choice when the primary consideration is high drying performance with low capital expenditure and low energy costs. They also ensure reliable and economical operation year after year. With large shelf area and adjustable shelf spacing, they are general-purpose systems with high ice condenser capacity. Advantages of Christ single-chamber systems:
There is a choice of five standard sizes with shelf area from 1.76 to 18 m² and ice condenser capacity from 20 to 180 kg. Taylormade capacities are available on request. Applications:

Non-sterile pharmaceutical and diagnostic processesIf your production processes must comply with stringent GMP requirements but do not need conventional steam sterilization (SIP) our double-chamber system with a large opening to the ice condenser chamber is an especially good choice. As with our freeze dryers typically used in pharmaceutical applications, we provide comprehensive support for component layout and system designs tailored to your specific needs. This is rounded out by expert system qualification and technical service to ensure long-term trouble-free operation of your system. We work with you to devise system and loading concepts for an extremely wide range of tasks and process requirements and implement them in manufacturable designs.
The double-chamber design developed by Christ places the ice condenser directly below the drying chamber. There is a wide choice of sizes, with ice condenser capacities from 12 kg to more than 500 kg. The shelf area ranges from 1 m² (specifically for process optimization) to over 40 m², depending on the unit type.

Production systems for aseptic production of active ingredients (double-chamber systems)Custom system projectsLong before your system dries the first batch of your valuable product, our qualified project management, engineering and service team provides the necessary advice and support for everything from system design, seamless quality control during production, on-time installation, commissioning and qualification, and ensuring the reproducible and trouble-free long-term operation of your freeze drying system. If technical problems arise, you can count on fast response from our Service team 24/7, 365 days a year. Structural or component positioning modifications for adaptation to space constraints are possible, as well as alternative arrangements for vacuum, cooling and control. We offer a broad selection of solutions at various levels for secure freeze dryer loading and unloading solutions, which is naturally a significant issue for users. They range from configurations with attached isolators to semi-automatic loading carts and fully automatic loading and unloading systems. The latter systems can be implemented conventionally using conveyor belts or transfer carts, or innovatively using cleanroom robots for unparalleled precision and reliability. Mature solutions are assured by our ‘best partner’ approach, which means working with leading specialists in their fields. Christ normally assumes the role of lead supplier to minimise the number of contact persons. All systems and equipment fulfil the most stringent requirements with regard to the materials used and functional safety, and they are extensible and upgradable for future applications. Advanced automation concepts simplify operation for users and ensure fully reproducible drying processes. Our experts are active in major associations and working groups, including ISPE and the German PAT group, and are therefore familiar with stringent regulatory requirements, particularly with regard to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. We work with users to devise system and loading concepts for an extremely wide range of tasks and process requirements and implement them in manufacturable designs. The double-chamber design developed by Christ places the ice condenser directly below the drying chamber. There is a wide choice of sizes, with ice condenser capacities from 12 kg to more than 500 kg. The shelf area ranges from 1 m² (specifically for process optimisation) to over 40 m², depending on the system type. Our Epsilon DS freeze drying systems feature:
