Freeze dryer loading system DA VINCI

for vialsautomatic

Overview
The DA VINCI automated vial loader/unloader is designed for integration with industrial freeze dryers used in pharmaceutical and biotech production. It reduces human contact in aseptic processes and improves operational continuity by using a stand-alone battery-driven transfer module with wireless communication.

Key features

• Aseptic compatibility: easy integration in aseptic workflows; suitable for open/closed RABS and isolator containment.
• Independent transfer unit: self-driven, stand-alone battery module for moving vial packs into and out of the freeze dryer.
• Compact installation: all devices are installed within the loader base plate perimeter; no front or rear pusher required.
• Wireless communication: secure wireless link between transfer module and machine control.
• Position verification: laser-based position check for accurate vial-pack location.
• Battery operation: up to 8 hours continuous operation per battery charge; simple swap for uninterrupted production.
• Shelf-loading modes: compatible with ambient and cold shelf-loading regimes.
• Reduced integration track: minimal conveyor/track length required between filler, loader and capper infeed.

Compact footprint
The DA VINCI loader eliminates the need for an actuating pusher in front or behind the freeze dryer, resulting in a significantly reduced plant footprint and simplified aseptic line layout.

Technical specifications

• Application: automated vial loading and unloading for industrial freeze dryers in pharmaceutical/biotech environments.
• Transfer unit: stand-alone, battery-driven transfer module with wireless communication to the freeze dryer.
• Operation time: up to 8 hours continuous loading/unloading per battery charge; quick battery changeover for extended runs.
• Positioning: laser-based verification for precise vial-pack placement.
• Integration: designed for aseptic environments (open/closed RABS or isolator containment); compact footprint due to no front/back pusher.
• Shelf compatibility: multiple standardised fixed net shelf sizes (see technical data above).
• Shelf-loading modes: supports both ambient and cold shelf-loading.
• Ergonomics: minimized integration track required between upstream filler, loader and downstream capper feed.
