Laboratory · R&D
LY 05–20
Deep Dryer · Laboratory Series
Compact freeze dryers built for research, recipe development and small-batch testing — the entry point into the Deep Dryer platform, with the same precision and control as our pilot and industrial ranges.
Entry model
LY 05
Laboratory · R&D
The smallest unit in the range, sized for benchtop research and early-stage recipe work where batch size matters less than control and repeatability.
Ice Capacity
5 KG
Trays
5 pieces
Condenser
–40 °C
Tray Surface
0.5 m²

Mid model
LY 10
Laboratory · R&D
A step up in tray count and ice capacity for labs running heavier test schedules, without moving to pilot-scale equipment.
Ice Capacity
10 KG
Trays
7 pieces
Condenser
–40 °C
Tray Surface
1.05 m²

Top model
LY 20
Laboratory · R&D
The largest lab-scale unit, giving R&D teams enough capacity to trial full recipes before committing to pilot production.
Ice Capacity
20 KG
Trays
10 + 10 pieces
Condenser
–40 °C
Tray Surface
2 m²
