Vacuum Baffle Plate
The BenchTop Pro 3L and 8L models include a two-position vacuum baffle plate.
Note: A vacuum baffle plate is not available on a BenchTop Pro 9L unit.
Baffle Plate on Chamber Bottom (Position 1).
•
By raising the baffle plate handle, the plate can be
dropped to the bottom of the chamber. This allows
you to pre-freeze items on the baffle plate. In
some cases, it may be more convenient to remove
the baffle plate completely and freeze items
directly on the bottom of the chamber.
Note: Freeze-drying cannot be performed with the baffle on the chamber bottom
(position1) as the product will remain too cold for water vapor transfer.
Baffle Plate in Raised Position (Position 2).
•
Lower the baffle plate handle to raise the baffle
plate when freeze-drying products directly on the
baffle. This allows ice to build up on the
condenser below and provides more room for
the materials to be dried.
