    摘要: [Object] To freeze droplets of a raw material liquid in a shorter drop distance while maintaining a cooling velocity, which is a super high speed, without deteriorating a solute or dispersoid.
    [Solving Means] A vacuum freeze-drying method according to an embodiment of the present invention is a vacuum freeze-drying method that includes steps of injecting a raw material liquid from an injection nozzle inside a vacuum chamber, generating frozen particles by self-freezing of the raw material liquid, and drying the generated frozen particles to thereby produce a dry powder, including: injecting the raw material liquid from the injection nozzle in a state in which the vacuum chamber is maintained at water vapor partial pressure corresponding to a self-freezing temperature of the raw material liquid, such that an injection initial velocity of the raw material liquid from the injection nozzle is 6 m/s or more and 33 m/s or less; and adjusting, when the maximum diameter of the generated frozen particle exceeds a predetermined value or droplets of the raw material liquid are unfrozen, an injection flow rate of the raw material liquid from the injection nozzle or properties of the injection nozzle such that frozen particles having a maximum diameter equal to or smaller than the predetermined value are generated.

    摘要: A process line (300) for the production of freeze-dried particles under closed conditions comprising at least a spray chamber (302) for droplet generation and freeze congealing of the liquid droplets to form particles and a bulk freeze-dryer (304) for freeze drying the particles, the freeze-dryer (304) comprising a rotary drum for receiving the particles. Further, a transfer section (308) is provided for a product transfer from the spray chamber (302) to the freeze-dryer (304). For the production of the particles under end-to-end closed conditions each of the devices (302, 304) and of the transfer section (308) is separately adapted for operation preserving sterility of the product to be freeze-dried and/or containment.

    摘要: The invention relates to a spray freeze dryer apparatus and method of using same for use in drying or concentrating a raw material which at ambient conditions has a solid and an aqueous portion. The dryer includes a chamber and a chamber pressure reduction device; an inlet nozzle or nozzles through which the raw material is injected into the chamber; and a collection surface or surfaces which collect a frozen portion of the raw material. The chamber is kept at a pressure below the triple-point pressure of the aqueous portion of the raw material. Several additional features are described to control the thickness of the layer on the collection surface.

    摘要: A method is provided that prepares resuspendable particles of a compound. The particles are prepared by drying a liquid that comprises the compound. The particles are dried in such a way that they do not aggregate on redispersion. The particles that are thus obtained are especially suitable for use in bio sensors, as contrast agent or as part of a pharmaceutical composition.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing heat-sensitive pharmaceutical powder is disclosed. The original pharmaceutical substances are dissolved in a solution or suspended in a suspension, which is sprayed through an atomizing nozzle and frozen in a cold gas phase or liquid nitrogen atomized directly in the spray-freeze chamber or gas jacket at the same time (for cooling purposes). The particles are freeze-dried at roughly atmospheric pressure in a down-stream fluid flow with exit filter thereby to remove moisture entrapped on or inside the frozen particles. The system has applicability for forming other powders.
