Process control system from Eurotherm is intended specifically for the freeze drying process. All facets of the slow batch process are controlled through the company’s T800 Visual Supervisor.

Eurotherm has introduced a process control system specifically designed for the freeze drying process using its T800 Visual Supervisor. The freeze drying process is used in regulated industries and extracts dry product from an aqueous solution. T800 Visual Supervisor controls all facets of this slow batch process.

Some freeze drying processes require validation from the FDA, EMEA (European Medicines Agency), or other regulatory body. This single unit solution has been tested and used in validated applications. The process is especially suited for the pharmaceutical and biochemical industries.

A published paper outlines the freeze drying process by explaining control and sequencing, recipes, batch control and reporting, setpoint programming, bespoke displays, alarm management, and 21 CFR Part 11. A copy of the paper can be obtained by calling Eurotherm at 703-669-1324 or emailing: info@eurotherm.com
