CES Pharma Systems’ blast freezer line provides scientists in the pharmaceutical & biotech industries a reliable and flexible solution to prepare their products for cryopreservation or lyophilisation. The equipment for those processes is designed to enable sensitive products to be preserved for an extended amount of time (at cryogenic temperatures or as a dry matter). In order to successfully implement these processes, products need to be frozen first at an elevated rate and below their critical temperature to ensure its quality remains intact.

 

Quality freezing

By combining a powerful cooling medium and high velocity turbulent air movement, our cryogenic blast freezing equipment not only addresses this requirement but also improves the overall production efficiency and flexibility by reducing cycle times.

CES’s uniquely controlled blast freezing process enables products to be stabilized according to any specific freezing profile. The injection of liquid nitrogen, which immediately evaporates to its gaseous form, is precisely controlled throughout each segment of the freezing process, from a holding phase up to unmatched high

freezing rates. The high performance recirculation fans make sure that this tremendous freezing power is delivered to the product and that the heat transfer is done in an efficient manner.

 

Flexible equipment

This approach is compatible with a wide variety of products from ampoules and vials up to larger bags or bottles.

Therefore our equipment can be used starting from preliminary trial phases to determine the appropriate type/size of packaging and desired freezing profile by producing various test batches for verification and validation.

Afterwards, when the multiple trial phases have been completed and the facilities are prepared for commercial production, our technology allows flexible up-scaling while respecting the specific freezing requirements.

 All above mentioned qualities were, by our specialists, combined into high performance and compact types of equipment while complying with today’s requirements in the pharmaceutical & biotech industries.
