The 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber should be inspected monthly dependant on usage.

Yes, installation is available for the 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber. FARRAR® also offers training and material freezing/thawing load testing for optimal speed and uniformity during operation.

Yes, the 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber is similar to a blast freezer. The major difference between the rate chamber and a blast freezer is the volume of air that is moved through the chamber- 500CFM and the ability to precisely control how fast or slow to freeze the material by modulating the cooling capacity.

Yes, our team is able to assist with GMP certification and validation for the 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber.

The 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber is designed to freeze both bags and bottles using forced air rather than contact plates like a plate freezer. Customized profiles can be built similar to a plate freezer, however.

The 4000 series control rate chamber is compatible with nearly any size bag, bottle or other storage containers. Contact us for the ideal freeze/thaw orientation for your application.

The 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber is compatable with any types of bags, bottles or storage containers. For optimal layout within the chamber, contact us.

No, the 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber uses forced air, cascade scroll compressors with 2100W of available cooling capacity.

Yes, an independent BMS probe can be placed inside the 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber to provide monitoring and analytics.

The HMI display is available on the 4000-LC Controlled Rate Chamber and is not customizeable, however the controller accommodates customizable freeze/thaw profiles with hold times, and slow or faster rates based on individual needs and preferences.

The length of the freeze process for the 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber will vary depending on the volume and chemical composition of the material being frozen in the chamber, and the storage medium shape, insulation level and material. The freeze process for an empty chamber will take about 37 minutes from ambient temperature to -80°C.

The defrost process for the 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber takes approximately 5 to 8 minutes.

The autodefrost setting for the 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber is a manual process; The user will start the defrost process with a push button at the end of each of each freeze process.

The 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber supports +40°C (highest during thaw cycle) to -80°C (lowest freeze temp).

FARRAR's 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber supports bioprocessing, biomanufacturing, drug substance and drug product applications.

The 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber does not currently integrate with any remote monitoring or analytics.

The 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber has a 1-year standard (parts and labor) warranty in North America which is extendable for an additional two years. Globally, we offer a 1 year, parts only warranty that is also extendable for an additional 2 years.
