What Is the Price of a Small Capsule Filler Machine?
For a startup supplement brand, a compounding pharmacy, or an R&D lab, buying a first capsule filling machine is ...
SED Pharma specializes in production large freeze drying machines engineered for pharmaceutical, biotech, and food manufacturing conditions requiring GMP compliance and batch‑to‑batch consistency. Our industrial lyophilizers for pharmaceutical solutions are built with 316L stainless steel chambers, automated CIP/SIP integration, and validated control systems for aseptic production, while our food‑grade production freeze dryers prioritize high throughput processing and durable 304 stainless steel construction for cost‑efficient commercial operations.
Whether you are scaling up from R&D or expanding commercial capacity, our freeze drying equipment is designed to meet the rigorous demands of regulated manufacturing. For early‑stage development and process validation, we also offer pilot‑scale and benchtop freeze dryers that bridge the gap between laboratory research and full‑scale production.




Sedpharma, a leading freeze dryer machine manufacturer, operates a 5500 m² state-of-the-art facility with over 100 R&D professionals. With 20+ patents, we design innovative freeze-drying solutions for pharmaceuticals, food, and biological products. Our lineup includes freeze dryers for laboratory research, pilot-scale production, and industrial manufacturing, ensuring flexibility across applications. Trusted globally, our products are exported to 80+ countries, delivering reliable performance, precision, and scalability to meet diverse demands.
| Specification | SED-SDG Series (Food Production) | SED-FDG Series (Pharmaceutical) | SED-DG Series (Multi-Purpose Industrial) | SED-XDG Series (Laboratory/Pilot Scale) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Application | Large-scale food production (fruits, vegetables, meats, pet food) | Pharmaceutical: biologics, vaccines, sterile products | Multi-function: food & pharmaceutical sterile production | Pilot production, lab research, home use |
| Drying Area | 34 – 216 m² | 1 – 51 m² | 3 – 151 m² | 0.1 – 2.25 m² |
| Layer Number | 26 - 42 Layers | 5 - 18 Layers | 7 - 23 Layers | 1 - 9 Layers |
Fast Drying, Preserved Quality: Quick drying retains flavor, color, and nutrients with over 98% shape integrity and over 95% active ingredient retention, ensuring superior product quality.
Uniform Drying Results: Even heat distribution ensures consistent drying across all samples, preventing uneven results.
Enhanced Production Efficiency: Optimized systems reduce processing time, increase throughput, and support large-scale production.

Precise Temperature Control: Chamber temperature stability within ±1°C , enhancing freeze-drying efficiency, product uniformity, and superior quality retention.
Accurate Pressure Control: Precise vacuum adjustments prevent pressure fluctuations, maintaining product stability and drying efficiency.
Optimized Temperature-Pressure Coordination: Coordinated control of temperature and pressure enhances freeze-drying efficiency and product stability.
Yes. The SED-FDG series of production-scale freeze dryers is specifically designed and manufactured to meet the requirements of pharmaceutical GMP environments. These units feature 316L stainless steel product-contact surfaces, integrate comprehensive Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) capabilities, and are equipped with a validated PLC control system featuring electronic batch records and audit trail functions, all aimed at assisting users in achieving regulatory compliance.
Pharmaceutical freeze dryers are specifically designed to facilitate sterile processing under strict GMP regulations; their features include the use of 316L stainless steel, integrated CIP/SIP systems, and validated, regulatory-compliant control software. In contrast, while food freeze dryers are equally robust and durable, their design prioritizes maximizing throughput and cost-efficiency rather than meeting sterile processing requirements; they typically utilize 304 stainless steel, feature simplified cleaning procedures, and employ standard PLC control systems, without the need for the extensive and rigorous validation documentation required in the pharmaceutical industry.
Choose your model based on your typical batch size. For small scale experiments or formula screening, 0.1 – 0.5 m² models like the SED-0.2XDG or SED-0.3XDG‑Z are ideal. For small batch production or process optimization before scale‑up, the 1 – 2.25 m² models provide the extra capacity needed.
Shelf area requirements depend on tray loading density, fill volume, and desired batch cycle time. As a general reference, our production freeze dryers range from 5 m² to over 216 m² of shelf area. We recommend sharing your target batch size and container specifications with our engineering team for a precise sizing recommendation.
Yes. SED Pharma provides comprehensive validation documentation packages for all production freeze dryers, including Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ) protocols to streamline your regulatory submission process.
Yes. In addition to freeze dryers, we supply integrated solutions. For example, vial filling lines, stopper placement stations, and automatic loading/unloading systems. Our engineering team can design solution of a fully coordinated aseptic freeze drying line tailored to your facility layout and production capacity.
We are a leading manufacturer of industrial freeze dryers and provide fully certified products meeting global standards. From ISO 9001-certified production processes to CE, FDA, and GMP-approved freeze dryers, we are your trusted partner for ensuring compliance, safety, and exceptional quality in your business operations.
