Remote Control – CryoDry® Console enables remote access for control of your CD8 Pro freeze dryer including limitless programming, live graphical progress tracking and even multi-machine management. Take control of your freeze dryer via Wi-Fi or Internet from any operating platform via web browser. The CryoDry support team is now literally only one click away and can assist with application questions, technical troubleshooting and your service needs.
All-in-one Process – CD8 Pro’s All-In-One Process simplifies the freeze-drying process by combining freezing and drying into a single step. Unlike traditional passive freeze-dryers, there is no need for a separate freezing step, eliminating the need for additional manual handling. CD8 Pro features programmable shelves with a temperature range of -40°C to +60°C, which provides precise control over the entire process from freezing to heat application for primary and secondary drying. This enables tailoring of the drying process to your product, resulting in efficient and effective drying.
autodry – The new and innovative autodry mode is perfect for beginners or users who do not want to setup their own drying programs. Autodry uses an advanced algorithm to determine drying progress. It automatically adapts drying parameters and identifies process end.
Fast – CD8 Pro is designed to be fast and efficient. It features temperature-controlled shelves enabling fast freezing and even faster drying. This capability is not available in traditional passive freeze dryers that use flasks or unheated shelves. CD8 Pro’s programmable shelves have a temperature range of -40°C to +60°C, making the freeze-drying process customisable. Heated shelves for active drying energy input means that the CryoDry® freeze dryer can significantly reduce drying time, resulting in time savings of typically more than 60% over traditional passive freeze drying.
