SJ-Creator 4S Pilot Freeze Dryer and Research Lyophilizer

Pilot Freeze Dryers

Creator 4S is a 0.48 m² pilot freeze dryer and research lyophilizer for larger pilot batches and laboratory-to-production scale-up. It supports programmable shelf temperature, vacuum control, and freeze-drying recipe management.

Model designation: SJ-Creator 4S is the primary public model. SJIA-Creator 4S may appear in factory records, nameplates, quotations, or earlier technical documents; both refer to the same SJIALAB equipment model.

  • Flexible Capacity: Ice condenser performance from 4 kg to 16 kg.

  • Precision Shelves: Temperature-controlled shelf areas from 0.12 m² to 1.2 m².

  • Advanced Monitoring: Full range of PAT tools for data-driven process optimization.

  • Custom Solutions: Tailored options to meet specific pharmaceutical and biotech requirements.
