In addition to actual plant delivery, Niro has the experience and market
know-how to support you in your product research and feasibility
studies. The Atlas RAY concept is the result of many years of plant and process
development based on the research and collaboration with our customers in
all parts of the world. The result is a freeze drying process - as shown
in the diagram - that is second to none.

One 8-hour preparation
shift provides sufficient product for 24 hours of freeze drying. Freezing is by
the "first in/first out" principle.
2. TRANSPORT BY OVERHEAD

Trolleys carry the product trays from freezing, through freeze
drying to emptying. A simple, hygienic, and safe system.
3.
