Introducing the CryoDry CD60 Elite: Intelligent Freeze Drying at a New Scale

Introducing the CD60 Elite, a high-capacity freeze dryer designed to deliver greater throughput, faster processing and intelligent control without compromising reliability or efficiency.

It is built for demanding laboratory, research and production applications. The CD60 Elite brings advanced freeze-drying technology into a single, streamlined system. Combining freezing and drying in one process, the CD60 Elite reduces manual handling while giving users precise control over every stage of the cycle.

Higher Capacity. Higher Throughput.

The CD60 Elite is designed for applications where capacity and productivity matter.

With a 60 kg ice condenser capacity, the system can remove up to 30 kg of ice per 24 hours. Its 31,005 cm² shelf area and typical product capacity of 75 kg at 80% moisture allow users to process substantially larger loads in a single cycle.

Nine programmable shelves provide precise temperature control from −40°C to +60°C, while CryoDry’s unique Sandwich Shelf Stack Design helps deliver uniform heat distribution and temperature control across the load.

Freeze Faster with BlastFreeze™

BlastFreeze™ is CryoDry’s fan-assisted rapid freezing technology, designed to accelerate the freezing stage and get products ready for drying sooner.

By actively circulating cold air through the chamber, BlastFreeze™ can reduce typical freezing times by more than 30%. Faster freezing means less time waiting between preparation and drying, helping improve overall batch efficiency.

Lower Downtime with BlastMelt™

Once the freeze-drying cycle is complete, BlastMelt™ tackles another major source of downtime: condenser defrosting.

Rather than relying on conventional slow thawing, BlastMelt™ uses innovative technology to rapidly melt and drain accumulated ice. A typical full-machine ice load can be thawed and drained in less than three hours, allowing the CD60 Elite to be prepared for its next cycle sooner.

BlastFreeze™ and BlastMelt™ work together to reduce time at both ends of the process, helping maximise throughput and minimise downtime.

Intelligent Control, Wherever You Are

The CD60 Elite puts control directly in the hands of the user. Its high-resolution 7-inch touchscreen controller provides an intuitive interface for operating and programming the system.

For users who need greater flexibility, the CryoDry® Console enables full remote access via Wi-Fi or the Internet. Users can monitor, control and program their freeze dryer through a standard web browser, with live graphical process tracking, limitless programming and multi-machine management.

Real-time SMS and email notifications can also keep users informed when a cycle finishes, power is interrupted or an unexpected event occurs.

Built for Reliability and Efficiency

The CD60 Elite is engineered for demanding use, incorporating a triple-redundant refrigeration system designed to support continued operation and reduce the impact of compressor failure.

Its inverter-based variable-speed compressor technology and highly efficient components help reduce energy consumption and operating costs. The use of R290 natural refrigerant provides an environmentally friendly refrigeration solution with low global warming potential and long-term serviceability.

Despite its high capacity, the CD60 Elite operates from a single-phase 200–240 V, 15 A power supply, reducing infrastructure requirements compared with many high-capacity freeze dryers.

Designed for Modern Applications

From its global electrical certification standards, including RCM, UL, CSA, CE, and FCC, the CD60 Elite is designed to be reliable and safe. It is also compatible with US and EU gastronomy trays, including full- and half-size formats, allowing users to easily integrate readily available commercial trays into their workflow while optimising chamber capacity and batch throughput.

And when support is needed, CryoDry’s remote support team is only one click away. Through remote access, our experts can assist with application questions, troubleshooting, fault diagnosis and service needs, helping users keep their CD60 Elite operating at its best.
