Hull Freeze Dryer Loading & Unloading Systems
Hull Freeze Dryer Loading & Unloading Systems
Hull Freeze Dryer Loading & Unloading Systems are designed for modern aseptic pharmaceutical processes where safe, efficient and reproducible vial handling is essential for product quality and regulatory compliance. The systems are engineered for integration with freeze dryers and filling lines in aseptic environments, helping to reduce processing time, increase productivity and improve operational reliability.
By minimising operator intervention and ensuring that critical components remain within the aseptic zone, the systems help maintain stringent GMP requirements while protecting both the product and the operator. Solutions can be adapted to different production volumes and process requirements, providing efficient and flexible handling throughout the freeze-drying process.
The systems are available in two models:
Hull RxR-36 Row-by-Row Freeze Dryer Loader
Designed for high-capacity applications, the RxR-36 provides fast, automated vial handling with a capacity of up to 400 vials per minute.
Hull SALS-30 Semi-Automatic Freeze Dryer Loader
An efficient alternative to manual loading, the SALS-30 is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized batches, with a capacity of up to 70 vials per minute.
