How long can freeze dryer keep running?

Freeze dryer is a commonly used material drying equipment, also called freeze drying equipment and low temperature drying equipment. It uses low temperature and vacuum technology to remove moisture from the substance in a frozen state, so as to maintain the original quality and extend the shelf life.

The vacuum freeze dryer can work all the time, but it needs regular maintenance to ensure its normal operation and prolong its service life. During the working process of the freeze dryer, the substance needs to be frozen into a solid through the refrigeration system, and the water is sublimated into water vapor through the vacuum system. This process will generate a certain amount of heat and moisture. If it runs continuously for a long time, it will cause problems such as excessive temperature of the equipment and accumulation of moisture, which will affect the working efficiency and drying effect.

The working time of the lyophilizer depends on many factors, including the quality of the equipment, the operating environment and the working conditions, etc. Generally speaking, a good freeze dryer can run continuously for several hours to several days, but it should be noted that long-term continuous operation will cause excessive load on the equipment, which may easily lead to failure or damage. It is recommended to control the working time within 8 hours, and then take appropriate rest and maintenance.
