Pure Steam Generation for Freeze Dryer Lyophilizer
Our dedicated pure steam generation for freeze dryer lyophilizer system delivers contaminant‑free steam directly to the drying chamber, ensuring optimal sublimation rates and product integrity. Designed for pharmaceutical, biotech, and specialty food manufacturers, the unit integrates seamlessly with existing lyophilation lines while meeting the strictest GMP and ISO requirements.
How It Works
The steam generator employs a closed‑loop water‑to‑steam heat exchanger that isolates the feed water from the steam path. High‑efficiency burners raise water temperature to 120 °C, producing saturated steam that passes through a stainless‑steel steam‑line filter (0.2 µm) before entering the lyophilizer. Real‑time temperature and pressure sensors feed data to the PLC, automatically adjusting burner output to maintain a constant steam pressure of 0.2–0.5 MPa, regardless of load fluctuations.
Because the steam is generated on‑site, there is no need for external steam tanks or bottled steam, eliminating cross‑contamination risk and reducing operational costs by up to 30 % compared with conventional steam supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for a custom‑size unit?
We work with an MOQ of one fully configured system. Engineering effort is included in the first unit; larger batch orders receive volume‑based discounts.
Can the steam generator be integrated with existing PLCs?
Yes. The unit supports Modbus‑TCP, Profibus, and Ethernet/IP, allowing seamless connection to most industrial control architectures.
What is the typical lead time?
Standard models ship within 15–30 days after order confirmation. Fully customized designs require 45–60 days, depending on complexity.
What warranty and service options are available?
All units carry a 24‑month parts‑only warranty. Extended service contracts (up to 5 years) are offered on a yearly basis, including on‑site preventive maintenance.
