Freeze dryer for the pharmaceutical industry LFD-203

for researchfor the food industryfor research and development

Product Overview
The Labotemp LFD-203 is a floor-standing vacuum freeze dryer engineered for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food R&D and industrial research labs that require increased sample throughput and reproducible lyophilization. It features a 0.12 m² drying area with four stainless-steel shelves, a −60 °C cold trap (option −80 °C), and an ultimate vacuum of 2 Pa. The transparent, corrosion‑resistant drying chamber allows continuous sample observation during cycles.

Control and Operation
The LFD-203 integrates a 7-inch touchscreen HMI for real-time monitoring of vacuum, cold trap and product temperatures, plus freeze-drying curves. Data handling includes automatic parameter storage, multi‑curve history, USB export and optional PC/mobile remote control for process documentation and traceability.

Reliability & Safety
The system uses an energy‑efficient Secop refrigeration package with hybrid refrigeration technology and a stainless-steel vacuum line with KF25 quick‑connect. Protection features include vacuum alarms, delayed vacuum pump start, power‑off auto‑vent, inert‑gas fill port, vacuum pump protection, one‑touch auxiliary heating/defrost and automated maintenance reminders.

Why Choose LFD-203

• Intelligent control: 7" touchscreen HMI, real‑time monitoring, freeze‑drying curve display, USB data export and automatic parameter storage.
