Food Production Freeze Dryers

Biopharma Group are the exclusive UK and Ireland distributor of the Gellert Freeze Dryers. Designed to be user friendly and robust, the Gellert freeze dryer range is precisely engineered, offering systems with cutting edge freeze dryer technology

Ranging from compact benchtop models to pilot and commercial scale machines, the equipment is scalable and highly customisable for a range of industries and applications.

Industries

Food and beverage manufacture
Agriculture and seeds
Research and Development
Cosmetics
Healthcare
Pet food
Environmental sampling

Applications

Production of dehydrated and powdered foods
Laboratory sample preparation
Formulation of powdered nutraceuticals and probiotics
Preserving chemical compounds
Production of high quality flavours and fragrances
Fruit and seed preservations


As standard, all systems come with AUTO DRY, in which the in-built API control operation and programming, creating an automated freeze dryer cycle. This ensures optimal consistent results whilst minimising manual intervention. Benefits of the auto dry functions include:

  • Reduced cycle time
  • Improved operator efficiency
  • Increased production efficiency
  • Minimised batch failure

With our in-house Technical Service department, we are also able to provide full service and maintenance support of equipment anywhere in the UK and Ireland.

R&D Freeze Dryers

The Gellert benchtop models are versatile units designed to meet small-scale freeze-drying needs and are ideal for users new to freeze drying. With a user-friendly interface, the Cryo 5 and Cryo 10 provide precise control over the freeze-drying process to ensure the preservation of even sensitive material. Their compact design reduces footprint issues while delivering reliable performance.
