Freeze Dryer Operations & Maintenance Training
We recognize the investment you have made purchasing and installing our
freeze drying systems. We will help you maximize the return on your
lyophilization equipment by assuring your personnel are fully trained in
their operation and maintenance.
All workshops are presented at our facility in Warminster, Pennsylvania.

Note: The basics of each course are universal in scope, and much of our
training is broadly applicable to all lyophilizers, not just our own.
Anyone may register and attend. Note: Each course builds on the preceding one and creates a complete training.
Freeze Dryer Systems Training I:
Basic Freeze Dryer Operation and Maintenance
This program is a survey course covering fundamental lyophilizer
operations using terminology and concepts explained in everyday
language.
The course will begin with an overview of lyophilization. The effects
of temperature, pressure, heat transfer, and vapor flow upon the freeze
drying process will be explained and related to the operation of the
freeze dryer. As the course progresses, each key lyophilizer sub-system
will be reviewed in detail as it relates to the control of these
critical parameters.
Although the design of the course is generic, a participant should
expect to receive an overview of Hull freeze dryer operations. The
following topics will be covered:
| Freeze Dryer Overview
Refrigeration Circuit
Electrical System
Control System
System and Process Integration
Maintenance
Safety Highlights
|
Freeze Dryer Sub-systems
Circulation
Vacuum
Hydraulic
Temperature
Steam

Freeze Dryer Diagnostic Workshop - Understanding Methodology
This is an advanced program developed for individuals with five years of
industry experience. Participants will increase their ability to
develop techniques and strategies to decrease unplanned down time. The
program emphasizes compound compressor ratios and calculating interstage
pressures and how these factors impact the efficiency of the
refrigeration circuits.
