Step into Cognitive Manufacturing
The IMA Ever‑Evolving System invites you into a new era of manufacturing.
The new lyo generation
Lyofast Mini range of freeze dryers responds to the growing demand for small-batch production of high-value products or personalized medicines. It offers a reliable, GMP-compliant compact freeze dryer that meets the highest standards of quality and sterility.
Freeze drying of the initial scale up batches provides an opportunity to test the robustness of the process, to understand the future technology requirements for industrial production, and to optimize the process, thus reducing the energy requirement and downstream production costs, adding commercial value to your product.
To cope with market drivers, Lyofast Mini series of freeze dryers have been developed to be suitable for the following applications: small batch production, clinical trials, product development and process cycle optimization, up scaling of the process for later use in production plants.
Production plant
IMA Life
Four different configurations available, from 1 to 2.8 m2.
Automatic CIP-SIP included.
Slot door suitable for RABS/isolator integration.
Suitable for applications with high-potent products and non-aqueous solvents.
Redundant shelf inlet temperature probes and pressure sensors.
Lyomaster compact Scada and state-of-the-art control system featuring high redundancy to ensure optimal process control and enhanced final product quality.
Ready to be integrated with KRYOSEQ® for nucleation control.
Lyofast Mini can be easily integrated with UAF, RABS, isolators, automatic and semi-automatic loading and unloading systems.
LYOFAST MINI shelves are designed and manufactured in-house with IMA Life’s patented FUSION™ technology, to ensure higher quality and enhance process reliability. The FUSION™ – FUSION PLUS™ shelves are lighter and more resistant than conventional solutions and offer enhanced heat transfer properties.
