Continuous Aseptic Spray-freeze-drying

Lynfinity is just a drop away

An innovative solution coming soon to industrial production is a new spray-freeze-drying process, which controls a spray of liquid product into a cryogenically cooled freezing chamber. The resultant frozen particles fo the liquid product are freeze-dried in the drying module and the frozen spheres are then packaged into a variety of containers, such as vials, syringes, and inhalation systems.

A laboratory version of the Lynfinity continuous spray-freeze-drying system is available, with an industrial production level version being developed for future release soon.

IMA LIFE division, in the field of liquid powder and aseptic and non-aseptic processing, can today offer a wide range of machinery, particularly designed to meet the most stringent pharmaceutical requirements, from very advanced machinery and applications through to traditional filling and closing machines.
