Introductory Offer - Our New Semi-Automated Control System

Here at Frozen in Time Ltd, we are excited to unveil our latest advancement to our freeze-drying machines — a new semi-automated control system that transforms the usability of our freeze driers and for a limited period, the new enhanced control system is available at no additional cost.

This innovation replaces a 30 year old manual control system, marking a major step forward in our technological journey.

The new control system is not a full PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) but offers about 90% automation at a significantly lower cost. It presents a highly affordable alternative to our full PLC automated machines.

Key features of the new system include:
- Runs on a Windows processor with a 10” touchscreen monitor
- Write and save recipe profiles with step triggers (temperature, time, temperature ramps, etc.)
- Live graphing and data logging for real-time monitoring
- Remote user access capabilities
- Manual operation support, allowing users to switch between manual and automatic modes

While the system doesn't offer the full range of capabilities of our PLC operated Freeze Driers —such as expanding inputs/outputs or providing detailed diagnostic capabilities—it is ideally suited for industries that prioritise cost-efficiency over full automation. It's perfect for our Multidriers, D series, HS series and smaller F series freeze driers, making it an excellent cost-to-efficiency balance for clients.

Nick Butcher, engineer & workshop manager at Frozen in Time, said “Our new control system enhances usability, aligns with modern technology, and significantly reduces user errors typically associated with manual control systems”.

He went on to say, “we have completed thorough testing and reviewed the system on existing machines to ensure its reliability and durability and this will make life a lot easier for our customers”.

As we prepare for a broader rollout, this transition is a significant step forward for our company, underscoring our commitment to technological advancement and innovation for Frozen In Time and in our industry. With significant interest from the Biopharma and food industries already, we feel this plugs a big hole in the market and expect to see more interest and orders in the near future.

We look forward to sharing more updates and invite you to join us in this exciting journey as we continue to build efficient and modern freeze driers.
