A device principally used for loading and unloading the standing surface (3′) of the drying chamber (2) of a freeze drying installation, which standing surface is located at a defined height position, the unloading position, is characterised by a carriage (8), which is disposed slightly thereabove, extends transversely to a movement direction (8′) during a loading or unloading process and in parallel with the standing surface and forms a movable guiding edge for the drying vessels (5), and by guides (7) which are disposed on both sides of the standing surface (3′), extend in parallel with the said movement direction and form fixed guiding edges for the drying vessels (5). The carriage (8) is driven by two linear motors, the respective primary parts (9) of which are fixedly connected to both side ends of the carriage (8) and are supported on the guides (7) which at the same time receive the secondary parts. All of the components of the devices thus defined are located within the drying chamber (1), wherein a mechanically extremely simple and low-wear construction is achieved. |
