Overview

We’re here to help you mitigate the risks associated with freeze dryer loading. Our loading and unloading systems ensure operator and product always remain protected, with minimal human intervention for the ultimate security. And with bridge and transfer plates that always operate within the aseptic environment, you can be sure that GMP standards are always adhered to. In addition, the loading and unloading system is designed to completely expose the surface during the decontamination process – for easy cleaning and effective sanitation.

Seamless integration – SP Hull Freeze Dryer Loading and Unloading Systems offer flexible solutions for small batch and high-speed applications and the option to integrate with the SP Hull LyoConstellation range of development, pilot, and production freeze dryers. A powerful freeze dryer range designed with aseptic operation in mind. When integrated with SP loading systems and SP filling lines, you get a powerful combination of best manufacturing freeze-drying practices, enabling you to move your product from development to commercialization, in a shorter timeframe. Two models are available.
