Abrégé
The invention relates to a freeze drying system (1). The freeze drying system has a product chamber (3) and an ice chamber (11). In the ice chamber, ice crystals are produced from evaporated solvent of the goods (6) to be dried. A valve (23) is arranged between a reservoir (16) and the ice chamber (11). The reservoir (16) contains a gas at a pressure that is greater than the pressure in the product chamber (3). A control unit (31) controls the valve (23) into an open position at a time at which ice crystals are present in the ice chamber and at which the ice chamber (11) is connected to the product chamber (3) via an opening (13). When the valve (23) is opened, gas flows from the reservoir (16) through the valve (23) and through the ice chamber (11) and carries along ice crystals into the product chamber (3). Controlled nucleation can thereby occur, during which ice crystals are suddenly or rapidly produced in the goods (6) to be dried, which goods are contained in the vials (5).

FREEZE-DRYING SYSTEM WITH A LOADING AND UNLOADING DEVICE
MARTIN CHRIST GEFRIERTROCKNUNGSANLAGEN GMBH (Allemagne)
Inventeur(s)
Christ, Martin
Abrégé
A freeze-drying system (1) consists among other things of an arrangement of individual storage shelves (19) that are vertically guided in a frame (20) and can each be transferred into a displacement plane in which lateral guides (20, 21) intended for receiving a carriage (15) are fixedly arranged horizontally, cooperating with the guides (16, 18) of the loading and unloading device located outside the drying chamber in order to guide the carriage (15). The arrangement of the storage shelves (19) relative to the displacement plane is designed with the condition that drying containers can be pushed onto the storage shelf (19) in the displacement plane by means of the back side (24) of the carriage (15) functioning as the first guiding edge, all storage shelves (19) of the drying chamber being fillable by cyclical repetition of this process. In order to unload the drying chamber, the arrangement of storage shelves (19) is moved into a position in which the carriage (15) can be moved across the displacement plane into its rear limit position inside the drying chamber, travelling in the process under each loaded storage shelf (19), wherein after lowering of the next higher storage shelf (19) into the displacement plane, the carriage (15) can then be used for pushing out the drying containers supported thereon by means of its front side (23) acting as the guiding edge. The unloading process for the drying chamber is completed by moving the carriage (15) cyclically in the displacement plane into the aforementioned rear limit position and pushing out the drying containers on the subsequently lowered storage shelf (19) by means of the carriage (15). It is a particular advantage that aseptic conditions are easily provided because the carriage travels only under loaded storage shelves (19).

Christ, Martin
Abrégé
A device for loading and unloading the standing surface of the drying chamber of a freeze drying installation. The device includes a carriage disposed above an unloading position of the surface which extends transversely to a movement direction during a loading or unloading process and in parallel with the standing surface and forms a movable guiding edge for the drying vessels. Guides disposed on both sides of the standing surface extend in parallel with the movement direction and form fixed guiding edges for the drying vessels. The carriage is driven by two linear motors, the respective primary parts of which are fixedly connected to both side ends of the carriage and are supported on the guides which at the same time receive the secondary parts. All of the components of the devices thus defined are located within the drying chamber, wherein a mechanically extremely simple and low-wear construction is achieved.

Abrégé
The invention relates to a device essentially for loading and unloading the floor area (3') of the drying chamber (2) of a freeze-drying installation, said floor area being located at a defined height position of the unloading position, which is characterised by a carriage (8) that is arranged slightly above said floor area, extends transversely to a movement direction (8') during loading or unloading and parallel to the floor area and forms a movable guiding edge for the drying vessels (5), and by guides (7) that are arranged on both sides of the floor area (3'), extend parallel to said movement direction and form fixed guiding edges for the drying vessels (5). The carriage (8) is driven by two linear motors, the respective secondary parts (18) of which are rigidly connected to the two ends of the carriage (8) and on which the guides (7) simultaneously receiving the primary parts are mounted. All components of the device thus defined are located inside the drying chamber (1), resulting in a mechanically extremely simple, low-wear construction. The structural design of such a device permits the implementation of lateral guides (7) independent of the floor area within the drying chamber (2) and is suitable for a retrofitting by progressive stages of existing freeze-drying installations with a view to using a plurality of carriages, rendering the guides (7) displaceable laterally, i.e. transversely to the movement direction (8'), etc.. Because the essential components of said device can be constructed in a hermetically sealed manner and can therefore easily be sterilised, from the point of view of hygiene the device can be managed safely.
