Machine type FCM

If freeze drying is required, then the vials are transferred from the vial filler into the next isolator segment which contains a fully Automatic Loading and Unloading System ALUS®. Here the vials, without the frames, are fully automatically loaded into the freeze dryer. The bridge plate movement to dock onto the shelves, the shelf indexing and pizza door operation are all implemented in an automated sequence. When the freeze drying cycle is complete, the stoppered vials are then unloaded automatically and transferred into the following PSI-L isolator and onto the capper.
