Frozen in Time Ltd

Our HS range includes a variety of advanced feature models suitable for high end pharmaceutical, clean room, pilot and production use. Features of the HS range include advanced temperature, pressure and time control, as well as easy recipe development and optimisation.

The HS-1 offers the excellent  performance for technology transfer activities, research and development with a 0.45m² shelf area.  

Easy recipe development: quality and adaptation of the temperature sensors (shelf, product and condenser) and vacuum.  

Temperature, pressure, time control and recipe optimisation capability.  

The HS-1 is the -55ºC version and the HSL-1 is the -85ºC.  

This lower temperature range is much more suitable for working with biological samples or products with very low eutectic or collapse points. 

Applications: 

Development of biological, pharmaceutical and food products 

Small batches for clinical trials 

Production in pilot plants 

Functional food research 

Preservation of diagnosis kits 

The HS-2 is the next size up. Both sizes as standard come with micro processor manual control panel that can be automated via PC software.  

This allowing programming of automated recipes and data logging.  

As mentioned above this model comes standard with the same control system as the HS-1.  

Both these size ranges can be ordered with fully automated touch screen controls. Ideal for like for like scaling up to production freezedrier control systems.  

This will include automated valve operation and automated vial closing. Giving the possibility of initial vacuum test and pressure rise test with the isolation valve. 

Applications: 

Development of biological, pharmaceutical and food products 

Small batches for clinical trials 

Production in pilot plants 

Functional food research 

Preservation of diagnosis kits 

The HS-3 follows on, both the HS-3 and the HS-4 come standard with fully automated touchscreen control systems.  

We guarantee: shelf flatness, high quality components, rapid shelf heating and cooling rates etc.  

Flexible use: high capacity for working with bulk materials, option to attach manifolds.  

Also different sizes and types of vials.  

Robustness: laboratory equipment with industrial finish (easy to clean, stainless steel chamber, condenser and plates) and industrial components (sensors, vacuum pump, exchangers, etc.) 

Applications: 

Development of biological, pharmaceutical and food products 

Small batches for clinical trials 

Production in pilot plants 

Functional food research 

Preservation of diagnosis kits 

Reliable operation: control system via Omron PLC with a touch screen user interface.  

Option to save developed recipes and export data to other platforms (Excel, etc). 

 Possibility to carry out optimisation studies for new formulae (scale up). 

Each size is available with -85ºC refrigeration.  

There is the possibility of adding extra shelves into the drying chambers if shelf spacing can be reduced. 

Applications: 

Development of biological, pharmaceutical and food products 

Small batches for clinical trials

Our dedicated food and industrial freeze drying range, the F series are ideal for large scale operations where the entire freeze drying process is completed in a single machine from freezing to final product. Available in capacities from 13kg to 1000kg per 24/hour cycle, all units can be configured to suit your site, production requirements and budget.

Frozen in Time has been developing and manufacturing freeze drying equipment since 1993.  

The F series start from 13kg to 1000kg /24 hour cycle.  

The F 13 is available in manual or fully automated modes. 

These production series freeze driers are designed for food or industrial processes. The entire process from initial freezing to final drying can be done in a single preprogrammed cycle within an F-series freeze drier.

Frozen in time freeze dryers are controlled by OMRON PLC with touch screen controls which provide recipe programming and storage and data logging and analysis tools, with remote access options for online monitoring and service. 

All our freeze dryers are fully supported with a range of technical services from our service department. 

Alternatively, if you have your own service engineers, we are able to train them in the care and maintenance of the equipment. 

Installation and operator training is standard on all of our larger scale freeze driers. 

Our D Series  series includes machines suitable for a wide range of uses, including archaeology, freeze drying flowers, document recovery and taxidermy. Available in a range of sizes and specifications, they can be configured to suit the needs of any application.

This small scale freeze drier is well suited for archaeological preservation of small objects.  

Frozen in Time have also built large scale freeze driers for water damaged document recovery and freeze dried flower producers.  

They are always built to order to suit the user’s requirements.  

The model D6/14 in the D range refers to the size of the product chamber, the 6 being 0.6m in diameter and 14 being 1.4m long.  

Certain products require special chamber configurations and loading systems. 

This medium scale freeze drier is ideally suited for archaeological preservation of medium sized objects.  

Frozen in Time have also built large scale freeze driers for water damaged document recovery and freeze dried flower producers.  

They are always built to order to suit the user’s requirements.  

The model D9/25 in the D range refers to the size of the product chamber, the 9 being 0.9m in diameter and 25 being 2.5m long.  

Certain products require special chamber configurations and loading systems. 

This larger scale freeze drier is ideally suited for archaeological preservation of large objects.  

Frozen in Time have also built large scale freeze driers for water damaged document recovery and freeze dried flower producers.  

They are always built to order to suit the user’s requirements.  

The model D16/50 in the D range refers to the size of the product chamber, the 16 being 1.6m in diameter and 50 being 5m long.  

Certain products require special chamber configurations and loading systems. 

The FR range takes the F series and adds radiative heating and a rapid load/unload trolley system to fully fit in your production process from cold store to dry store. 

Available in the same sizes and capacities as the F series and all units can be configured to suit your site, production requirements and budget. 

Supplied with a rapid load/unload trolley system and featuring radiative heating the FR-series has been designed with industry needs in mind. The product can quickly go from cold storage to drier to dry storage with ease. 

All our freeze dryers are fully supported with a range of technical services from our service department. 

Alternatively, if you have your own service engineers, we are able to train them in the care and maintenance of the equipment. 

Installation and operator training is standard on all of our larger scale freezedriers. 

This includes operation and programming of control systems and PC software where applicable, and instruction on basic care and maintenance. 

We aim to support your system long after installation and regular scheduled maintenance is the best way to ensure the equipment continues to function as intended. 

Depending on the system and requirements, this can include replacement of consumables such as gaskets, refrigerant charging, instrument calibration, leak testing, shelf and sterilization mapping, and vacuum oil change.
