Drying - Import export

Freeze-drying is an important process for preserving and formulating pharmaceutical and biotechnological active ingredients. If an existing process is changed or transferred, the entire cycle must be modified. We advise on the adaptation of a freeze-drying cycle or scale up. Contact us for an initial discussion! Analysis We analyse existing data, model the process and verify the settings before the conversion. For them, this means: high transfer security, short project times, low overall costs. Adaptation of a freeze drying How do we go about it? For the time being, we analyse all existing data and "build" a model of freeze drying from it. The model is based on the physical principles and the real data of their current plant. Consequently, our predictions and forecasts are accurate. From the model, we obtain the settings for the new freeze-drying process. Before the step into production, these settings are verified with a small system.

ASCO’s automatic Dry Ice Machine BP420i produces slices in 10 different thicknesses and 2 different types of pellets at the push of a button. The dies for the production of different sizes do not have to be changed manually as they are already built in and can be controlled at the touch screen panel. The BP420i features high density, fully automatic dry ice production for slices in ten different thicknesses. In addition, it is possible to produce pellets in two different sizes with a diameter of 3, 6, 10 or 16 mm (1/8, 1/4, 3/8 or 5/8 in). Standard slice dimensions are 210 × 125 × 20 70 mm (8.3 x 4.9 x 0.8 2.8 in). Other slice/pellet dimensions are available on request. Depending on the setting, the production capacity ranges from 240 to 400 kg/h (529 to 882 lb/h). The automatic dry ice block, slice and pellet machine ASCO BP420i belongs to the ASCO iSeries line.

The ASCO Dry Ice Pelletizer P15(i) is a compact and powerful dry ice machine from our iSeries line. Having a production capacity of 150 kg/h (331 lb/h) it meets the demands for higher dry ice quantities plus quality and flexibility in the daily working process. As an optional model of ASCO's iSeries, it can be equipped with stateoftheart remote control devices and thus is ready for a wide range of services in the areas of Remote Access, Remote Data, Remote Management. Whether for fast and efficient trouble shooting and maintenance or for gathering production and performance data the ASCO iSeries offers a wide range of possibilities to link Industry 4.0 with dry ice production. The ASCO Dry Ice Pelletizer P15(i) is driven by a powerful hydraulic unit featuring instant push button start. All functions are controlled by a Siemens PLC with touch screen.
