The Heto PL6000 models present a unique new principle in freeze drying, the twin-capillary tube system - PowerDry®. The principle reduces the time required to reach operating temperature, at the same time providing an ice trapping capacity of 6 kg/ 24 hours or 10 kg total unheard of in a compact lab freeze drying unit. The Heto PL6000 freeze dryer comes in two models: PL6000 -55 - has a standard condenser temperature of -55°C, which is well suited for straightforward freeze drying applications. PL6000 -90 - has an advanced refrigeration system designed for more complicated and demanding applications; it uses a cascade refrigeration system providing a temperature down to -90°C.

Features of Heto PowerDry PL6000
- Compact design with durable powder-painted cabinet and corrosion-resistant, stainless-steel top * Accessories can be freely interchanged among Heto models * PowerDry* cooling with twin-capillary tube system offers auto regulation for maximum cooling performance, fastest possible drying time and evenly distributed ice condensation * Graphic display shows condenser and product temperature, set and actual pressure, and process status; interfaces with HSC 500 shelf controller * Acrylic lid, silicone sealed. Fits manifolds and chambers via cone adapter placed in center * RS232-C interface connection for datalogging of chamber pressure and product temperatures * Easy connection vacuum valve allows cold-start of pump, cryo pumping, de-icing while pump is running, loading and unloading without switch off * Trolley can easily accommodate a freeze dryer with all it's accessories * -55°C unit is designed to handle general laboratory applications and has a microprocessor controller well-suited for straightforward freeze drying tasks; e.g. bulk drying where vacuum regulation is not required. * -90°C unit is designed for applications with high demands for documentation and has a advanced microprocessor controller well suited for demanding freeze drying tasks where full control, documentation and process logging are required.
