Vacuum Chamber Construction and Liquid-Filled Shelf Plates

Cuddon freeze dryers feature heavy-duty horizontal vacuum chambers fabricated from AISI 304 stainless steel with external reinforcing ribs for maximum structural rigidity under deep vacuum.

Sublimation shelves are engineered as hollow conductive heat transfer plates with forced circulation of Temper 55 thermal fluid. Unlike direct electric heating systems, liquid-filled shelves deliver uniform surface temperature across every tray with deviations under one degree.

A working temperature span from negative values up to plus seventy degrees Celsius enables gentle sublimation of sensitive bioactive media and food extracts without risking thermal degradation.

Natural Carbon Dioxide Refrigeration and Low Temperature Options

The flagship GPC series is powered by advanced refrigeration skids utilizing natural Carbon Dioxide (CO2 / R744), featuring zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of one.

The internal ice condensing coil is situated directly behind the shelf array or in a dedicated section, achieving minus forty degrees Celsius in CO2 units and minus fifty-five degrees Celsius in R507 low-temperature LT configurations.

Built-in heat recovery packages harvest refrigeration waste heat to temper shelf fluid and heat defrost water, substantially trimming total operational energy consumption.

Specialized Hi-Lyph Range for Botanical and Herbal Biomass

Engineered specifically for delicate floral biomass, herbs, and botanical extracts, the Hi-Lyph range includes HL50, HL600, HL1200, and HL1800 models. A primary structural feature is the expanded 50 mm shelf working height, allowing bulky leafy materials to load without mechanical compression.

The automated controller incorporates factory recipes tailored for low-temperature sublimation cycles that preserve volatile terpenes, vibrant natural pigmentation, and cellular integrity while preventing oxidation throughout the processing run.

Archive Recovery and Document Restoration DD Series Systems

The Cuddon DD series, including the DD108 model and larger custom builds, is engineered for rapid disaster recovery of flood-damaged paper records, rare books, and museum artifacts.

The spacious chamber is matched with heavy-duty wheeled trollies holding standard archival document boxes, starting from 108 boxes per batch.

Sublimation drying under precise vacuum levels extracts deep moisture from frozen paper without causing dimensional warping, page adhesion in coated stocks, or microbial proliferation.

Anodized Food-Grade Trays and Roll-In Loading Trollies

Every Cuddon installation is furnished with two complete sets of food-grade anodized aluminum product trays measuring 495x1025x20 mm alongside rolling loading trollies.

Having secondary tray assemblies enables production crews to pre-load and freeze incoming batches in external blast freezers while the active run is underway in the sublimation chamber.

Anodized surface hardening provides durability against organic acids and facilitates rapid, clean unloading of dehydrated food and powder batches.

Touch Screen PLC Automation and Remote Diagnostic Connectivity

Sublimation process parameters are governed by an industrial programmable logic controller paired with a clear operator touch screen interface. Process technicians can configure multi-step lyophilization programs by adjusting shelf heating rates, dwell times, and vacuum setpoints.

Built-in network connectivity enables secure integration with facility supervisory networks and the Cuddon client services portal for remote performance logging, batch documentation, and diagnostic review.
