Buying & Selling Used Lyophilizers and Freeze Dryers

Used freeze dryers can cost as much as 80% less than its newer counterparts. In addition, many businesses simply don't need the higher end features incorporated in newer lyophilizer equipment so an older or used lyophilizer gets the job done.

For instance, many freeze drying companies (over 70%) who manufacture products worldwide purchase used freeze dryers for their production needs because they know they can rely on the equipment.

We carry lyophilizers and freeze dryers from the following manufacturers:

Hull

GEA Pharma Systems (LYOVAC™)

Virtis

FTS Systems

Stokes

Lybold

LSL Secfroid

and more.

The Freeze Drying Process

The primary components of freeze drying equipment include:

A refrigeration system

A vacuum system

A control system

A product manifold or chamber

A condenser

Freeze-drying or lyophilization is a three-step process that starts with freezing. Next, the product is placed in a vacuum chamber under low heat. The frozen water crystals evaporate from ice to water vapor in a process called sublimation. The product then goes through a secondary drying to remove any remaining water molecules. The product is then nitrogen sealed in order to prevent contamination.

Comparing the Different Formaldehyde Production Processes

Formaldehyde is a main raw material for manufacturing value-added chemicals and adhesives used in wood products such as particleboard and plywood. Colorless but odiferous and flammable, formaldehyde is a key component in melamine, urea-formaldehyde, and phenolic resins that have strong bonding and heat resistance qualities. Formaldehyde also is a potent preservative with uses in sterilization and embalming. Commercial producers typically use two methods to manufacture formaldehyde at scale: 1) Oxidation-dehydrogenation using a silver catalyst to achieve either the complete or partial conversion of methanol; and 2) the FORMOX process, which directly oxidizes methanol using metal oxide catalysts. In most cases, production targets a 37% aqueous solution (called formalin), but manufacturers may market concentrations as high as 57%. The solution is usually transported with methanol added to prevent polymer precipitation. Solutions that do not include methane stabilizers can avoid precipi

Chemical Plant - Ethanol Recovery Unit Dismantlement & Relocation - Coors

Project Background and Scope Phoenix purchased a 1.5 MMGPY ethanol recovery unit located at the Coors Brewery’s production facility in Golden, Colorado. The plant and equipment owner was required to remove it from the brewery as it was no longer required for the site process. Phoenix dismantled the unit and transported it to a storage site in Texas. The unit is designed to recover ethanol from waste liquids containing alcohol such as spilled or out-of-date beer, as well as residual streams from ethanol plants. Phoenix developed a buyer who was expanding their whisky distillery capacity. The buyer jumped at this opportunity, quickly securing the unit through a deposit and deploying a team for due diligence and inspection. Immediately after the inspection, the buyer issued a purchase order. Phoenix managed the shipment, inland and ocean freight, of the unit and all equipment to the port in Ireland.
