Freeze dryer loading system LyoShuttle Drive

The product range of the Martin Christ Company has been expanded to include the new, patent-pending LyoShuttle automated loading and unloading system. The freeze-dryer is loaded by a loading robot that uses timing belts to move horizontally. The loading robot moves on a set of rails mounted at the constant loading level alongside the shelf set. Motive force is provided by battery-powered stepper motors. The batteries are charged wirelessly when the robot is in the parked position in front of the freeze-dryer. The loading robot communicates wirelessly with the controller. Thanks to its flexible and space-saving construction, the LyoShuttle option is particularly suitable for production freeze dryers in the pharmaceutical field, including under insulated conditions, and requires significantly less space. The LyoShuttle system from Martin Christ has outstanding advantages to ensure product quality and production reliability: No moving parts above the vials Many common systems have an unloading bar that moves above the vials filled with the product. With the LyoShuttle system from Martin Christ, the shelf package is raised a few centimeters to allow unloading of the vials. The integrated unloading beam of the LyoShuttle moves beneath the loaded shelves to a parked position behind the shelf package. The shelf to be unloaded can then be moved to the unloading height (constant loading level). With LyoShuttle, there is never any moving part above the vials filled with the product, even after capping. Conclusion: In summary, with the LyoShuttle, we only move in front, behind and beneath the vials.
