Original instructions
•
Sugars and proteins typically will have minimal negative effect on any of the
materials of construction.
When using compounds in the Freeze Dryer that are hostile to the materials of
construction, it is imperative the equipment is thoroughly cleaned after use.
•
Rubber and plastic components that have been exposed to damaging
compounds should be removed and flushed with water.
•
The oil in the vacuum pump should be checked often. It must be changed if it
is cloudy, shows particles or is discolored. The useful life of vacuum pump
oil can be extended if the vacuum pump is operated for an extended period of
time after a freeze dry run. This allows contaminants to be purged from the
hot oil. This must be done with the inlet to the pump blocked off to prevent
air from free flowing through the pump. This is accomplished by closing all
sample valves on a clean, dry freeze dry system and turning on the vacuum
pump. If the pump is operated at an elevated vacuum level (> 10mbar), oil
may be expelled from the pump and damage could occur.
Another way to extend the life of the vacuum pump is to install an optional
secondary trap in the line between the Freeze Dry System and the vacuum pump.

With prudent maintenance the FreeZone Freeze Dry System will provide years of

Solvent Safety Precautions
Solvents used in the Stoppering Tray Dryer may be flammable
or hazardous to your health. Use extreme caution and keep
sources of ignition away from the solvents. When using
flammable or hazardous solvents, the vacuum pump must be
vented to a fume hood.
Hazardous materials such as strong acids or bases, radioactive
substances and volatile organics must be handled carefully and
promptly cleaned up if spilled. If a sample is spilled in the
collector chamber it must immediately be cleaned up.
WARNING: The disposal of substances used in connection with
this equipment may be governed by various Federal, State or
local regulations. All users of this equipment are urged to
become familiar with any regulations that apply in the user’s
area concerning the dumping of waste materials in or upon
water, land or air and to comply with such regulations.
