- a first portion of the interior volume is defined between at least portions of the base member and a reference plane located spaced from the at least portions of the base member, the first portion of the interior volume defining a volume corresponding to the initial volume of the solution.
- a second portion of the interior volume is defined between the reference plane and at least portions of the top member.
- At least one port defining an opening is in communication with the second portion of the interior volume.
- the container additionally allows to measure a temperature in immediate vicinity to the material during freeze-drying. Further advantages are addressed in the following.
- An embodiment of the invention is a drying bag for drying a biological or pharmaceutical material, which comprises a bag shell having a bag shell outer site, a bag shell inner site, a bag interior cavity and a bag shell access opening, which reaches from the bag shell outer site to the bag shell inner site, a closable bag access opening, which provides an access to the bag interior cavity via the bag shell access opening, a double fixation tensioning belt, which is connected to the bag shell outer site at a tensioning-belt-bag-shell connection point, and which includes two free tensioning belt ends, which are arranged opposite to each other, each of the two free tensioning belt ends includes a tensioning belt fastening element, which allows a detachable connection of the free tensioning belt end at a supporting tub anchor for the tensioning belt fastening element, which is attached at a supporting tub, wherein the bag shell is partly made of a pliable first plastic foil and partly made of a vapor permeable sheet, the tensioning belt fastening elements, when the drying bag is positioned
- An advantage of the bag shell being partly made by the pliable first plastic foil is that the bag shell can be stored in a flat, volume-reduced geometrical form prior to a positioning in the supporting bag.
- the pliability of the first plastic foil allows further that the part of the bag shell, which is made of the first plastic foil, is in principle able to nestle to involved geometrical boundaries of the supporting tub once positioned in the supporting tub.
- a large zone, preferably also additionally a homogenous zone, of mechanical contact of the involved geometrical boundaries of the supporting tub to the bag shell outer site provides a larger, preferably additionally also homogenous, heat transfer rate versus a scenario of an interrupted contact caused by gas spaces. Since drying occurs under reduced pressure, especially in case of freeze-drying of a very low pressure, the gas spaces will tend to become vacuum-type isolations. These hinder a heat transfer, which enables a rewarming of the material to be dried, which itself is cooled down during drying by an evaporation of volatile components contained in the material to be dried.
- the efficient transmission of the supporting power by the supporting tub allows from the viewpoint of mechanical stability of the bag shell also to choose a relatively thin pliable first plastic foil, which favors again the heat transfer.
- the tub function of the supporting tub provides a safety measure in case of an accidental leakage at the bag shell by collecting escaping material to be dried and thus avoiding a spilling into a drying chamber. Accordingly, a thickness of the pliable first plastic foil requires less security surcharge against an accidental leakage.
- the addressed involved geometrical boundaries of the supporting tub are typically a planar bottom of the supporting tub, which is particularly relevant for the heat transfer, and side walls of the supporting tub, which are particularly relevant for the mechanical stability once the material to be dried is filled into the bag interior cavity.
- the pliable first plastic foil is the intended primary contact area of the material to be dried during filling of the bag interior cavity, typically only to a part of its bag interior cavity volume, for example 50 volume percent thereof, once the drying bag is positioned in the supporting tub. This applies similarly during drying.
- Intended primary contact area means that there might be some unintended spattering of the material to be dried during filling or drying, which thus leads to some unintended contact with the vapor permeable sheet or the parts of the bag access opening or a lid closing the bag access opening, which are directly facing the material to be dried. Accordingly, a contact of the material to be dried with the supporting tub respectively a material of the supporting tub at the contact is avoided. This is for example of relevance if the material of the supporting tub is a metal.
- the dried material is often obtained in a physical form of a voluminous powder, which has partly formed larger but mechanically instable clumps or even one mechanically instable aggregate.
- the pliable first plastic foil not only allows that the bag shell is stored in the flat, volume-reduced geometrical form prior to a positioning in the supporting tub. It also allows that the bag shell respectively the drying bag, which is filled with the dried material in a voluminous, but aggregated form is comminuted into smaller aggregates without a need to open the closed drying bag. This might be done for example by bending back and forth or of the closed drying back filled with dried material or by squeezing it together.
- the pliable first plastic foil itself is for example made of polypropylene or polyethylene.
- An advantage of the bag shell being partly made of the vapor permeable sheet is a possibility of a transfer of evaporated gaseous components of the material to be dried from the bag interior cavity to a drying chamber during drying despite of the bag access opening being closed. Without the possibility of the transfer, the volume of the interior bag cavity would increase in case of an application of a reduced pressure in the drying chamber up to a breakage of the bag shell.
- the vapor permeable sheet is often less pliable than the first plastic foil, particularly if the vapor permeable sheet is a two-sided laminate or composite material comprising on one side a spined layer, which is plastic-weldable with the pliable first plastic foil.
- the vapor permeable sheet contains for example a membrane layer of polytetrafluoroethylene, including expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, or polyethylene terephthalate.
- the membrane layer has in case of a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane for example a pore size of 1 to 2 micrometers and in case of a polyethylene terephthalate) membrane a pore size of 7 micrometers.
- the vapor permeable sheet is for example a composite membrane material, which comprises a membrane layer and a support layer.
- the vapor permeable sheet is for example an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane on a polyethylene support layer or an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane on a polypropylene support layer.
- the permeability of a given vapor permeable sheet may differ for different evaporated gaseous components of a material to be dried.
- a vapor permeable sheet which allows a passage of at least 10 L, preferably at least 50 L, of air per minute and dm 2 of membrane area at a transmembrane pressure of 200 Pa (> 10 L air /min /dm 2 , preferably > 50 L air /min /dm 2 ) is deemed suitable for use in the bag shell for an efficient passage of for example water vapor.
- the vapor permeable sheet is a vapor permeable sheet with a passage of at least 10 L, more preferably at least 50 L, of air per minute and dm 2 of membrane area at a transmembrane pressure of 200 Pa (> 10 L air /min /dm 2 , preferably > 50 L air /min /dm 2 ).
- first-plastic-foil-to-sheet connection point a surface zone of the pliable first plastic foil is overlayed to a surface zone of the vapor permeable sheet and both zones are connected. Both zones are opposite to each other and are put together to form together a first-plastic-foil-to-sheet connection point.
- the connection is typically tight for the material to be dried, the gaseous evaporated components of the material to be dried and the dried material.
- connection is for example conducted by plastic welding, if the pliable first plastic foil and at least one side of the vapor permeable sheet can be plastic-welded with each other.
- a suitable glue is an option, if the glue is inert at least for the time and under the conditions of drying against the material to be dried, the gaseous evaporated components of the material to be dried and the dried material.
- Another possibility is that both zones are sufficiently pressed together to be tight, and the pressing is achieved by a mechanical device, for example a series of small clamps or staples or a sewing seam.
- the connection is conducted by plastic welding.
- the vapor permeable sheet at the first-plastic-foil-to- sheet connection point is directed towards the bag interior cavity and the pliable first plastic foil is at the first-plastic-foil-to-sheet connection point is directed away from the bag interior cavity toward the surroundings.
- This arrangement is of advantage in case of a two-sidedness of the vapor permeable sheet with only one site available for plastic welding with the pliable first plastic foil, because it allows that the plastic welding itself is conducted by the plastic welding energy apparatus being applied from the bag shell outer site.
- the pliable first plastic foil and the vapor permeable sheet are connected at a first-plastic-foil-to-sheet connection point and the pliable first plastic foil and the vapor permeable sheet are connected by plastic welding.
- An advantage of the double fixation tensioning belt is a maintenance of a high volume of the bag interior cavity, when the drying bag is positioned for drying in the supporting tub and thus the drying bag is unfolded and erected. This applies for an empty unfolded and erected drying bag as well as for an unfolded and erected drying bag, which is filled with the material to be dried.
- the fixation by the double fixation tensioning belt helps further to avoid wrinkles in the bag shell, especially where the bag shell is made of the pliable first plastic foil.
- a suitable number of tensioning belts depends on the dimensions and the geometric shape of the bag shell at its maximum volume of the bag interior cavity.
- One or two or more double fixation tensioning belts are possible at the drying bag, for example one, two, three, four, five or six double fixation tensioning belts, preferably one, two, three, four or five, more preferably two, three or four.
- An intrinsic property of a belt is its pliability, which contrasts with a stiffness of a stick. Accordingly, a belt, e.g., the double fixation tensioning belt, does not hinder as much as a stick, when the drying bag is to be stored in a flat, volume-reduced geometrical form prior to a positioning in the supporting bag.
- a stick can be designed to be removable from the drying bag and thus can be separately stored from the drying bag prior to a positioning in the supporting tub.
- a double fixation tensioning belt which is made from a pliable material, supports the intrinsic pliability caused by the nature of a belt.
- the double fixation tensioning belt is for example made of a second plastic, preferably made of a second plastic foil, more preferably made of a pliable second plastic foil.
- the second plastic is preferably suitable for plastic-welding with the pliable first plastic foil of the bag shell or the vapor permeable sheet.

- the tensioning belt is connected to the bag shell outer site at a tensioning-belt-bag-shell connection point.
- the connection is a permanent connection.
- the connection is for example conducted by plastic welding. It is understood that for plastic welding, the material of the bag shell outer site at the connection point and the material of the tensioning belt at the connection point must be suitable to be plastic-welded with each other.
- the double fixation of the double fixation tensioning belt allows that the double tensioning belt is stretched between two supporting tub anchors for the tensioning belt fastening elements, particularly if the two supporting tub anchors for the tensioning belt fastening elements are arranged opposite to each other at the supporting tub.
- the parts of the bag shell at the bag shall outer site, at which the double fixation tensioning belt is connected, i.e., the tensioning-belt-bag-shell connection point, are essentially only exposed to a gravitational force caused by the weight of the surrounding parts of the bag shell.
- the gravitational force is directed vertically downwards, when the drying bag is positioned in the supporting tub and the parts of the parts of the bag shell at the bag shall outer site, at which the double fixation tensioning belt is connected, are placed at the top of the drying bag.
- the bag shell is essentially hanged at the tensioning-belt-bag-shell connection point, whereas solely the double fixation tensioning belt is exposed to the stretching force existing between the two supporting tub anchors for the tensioning belt fastening elements.
- the tensioning belt end includes a tensioning belt fastening element.
- the tensioning belt fastening element is involved in a detachable connection of the tensioning belt at a supporting tub anchor for the tensioning belt fastening element, which is attached at the supporting tub.
- the tensioning belt fastening element is for example a perforation at the tensioning belt or a bulge at the tensioning belt.
- the perforation has for example a contour of a slit or a circular hole.

- the bag shell access opening is only a formal surface zone, which is neither made of the pliable first plastic foil nor of the vapor permeable sheet. All the surface zones of the bag shell outer site, which are made of the pliable first plastic foil, are defined as a first portion of the bag shell outer site. All the surface zones of the bag shell outer site, which are made of the vapor permeable sheet, are defined as the second portion of the bag shell outer site.
- a tensioning-belt-bag-shell connection point i.e., where the double fixation tensioning belt is connected to the bag shell outer site, can be a tensioning-belt- bag-shell-first-plastic-foil connection point or a tensioning-belt-bag-shell-sheet connection point.

- a single fixation tensioning belt has for example one tensioning-belt-bag-shell connection point or two tensioning-belt-bag-shell connection points, preferably one tensioning-belt-bag-shell connection point.
- the tensioning-belt-bag-shell connection point of the single fixation tensioning belt At the outermost tension ing-belt-bag-shell connection point of the single fixation tensioning belt, the initially free and at a positioning in the supporting tub then detachably connected tensioning belt end starts.
- the tensioning-belt-bag-shell connection point of the single fixation tensioning belt where the free tensioning belt end starts, must absorb the mechanical force from the fixation at the supporting tub.
- its contour is a rectangle. It is advantageous for permeability if the area of the vapor permeable sheet remains free from the single fixation tensioning belt.
- the tensioning-belt-bag-shell connection point of the single fixation tensioning belt is a tensioning-belt-bag-shell-first-plastic-foil connection point.
- the single fixation tensioning belt has only tensioning-belt-bag-shell connection points, which are tensioning-belt- bag-shell-first-plastic-foil connection points.
- the single fixation tensioning belt does not cover the vapor permeable sheet.
- a single fixation tensioning belt can be designed that its free end splits in a Y-type way, i.e., there are two free tensioning belt ends on one site of the single fixation tensioning belt.
- the single fixation tensioning belt has exactly one free tensioning belt end.
- the drying bag has a single fixation tensioning belt, which includes a free tensioning belt end and is connected to the bag shell outer site at a tensioning -belt-bag-shell connection point of the single fixation tensioning belt, and the free tensioning belt end includes a tensioning belt fastening element, which allows a detachable connection of the free tensioning belt end at a supporting tub anchor for the tensioning belt fastening element, which is attached at the supporting tub.
- the bag shell is preferably formed by a bag top wall, a bag bottom wall and at least one bag side wall.
- the bag top wall and the bag bottom wall are in principle parallel to each other and all of the at least one side walls extend essentially perpendicularly from the bag bottom wall, when the drying bag is unfolded and erected.
- the bag bottom wall and each of the at least one bag side wall are made of a pliable first plastic foil, whereas the bag top wall is partly made of the pliable first plastic foil and partly made of the vapor permeable sheet.
- the bag shell access opening is integrated in the top wall as a bag top wall access opening.
- the bag shell access opening is at the bag top wall. Accordingly, the bag shell access opening is preferably a bag top wall access opening.
- the parallel orientation of the bag top wall and the bag bottom wall in combination with the perpendicularly extending side wall(s) allows a uniform height of the material to be dried with a uniform distance from the top of the material to the bag top wall, when the bag interior cavity is filled to a degree between 15 percent and up to 80 percent of the volume of the bag interior cavity, when the drying bag is positioned in the supporting tub.
- a complete usage of the volume would take away a space for the gaseous components evaporating from the material to be dried.
- a uniform thickness from the bottom to the top of the material to be dried supports a finally homogenously dried material, because there is only a difference due to a vertical placement and not an additional difference due to a horizontal placement.
- a finally homogenously dried material is also favored, if the height of the material to be dried is kept relatively low, for example between 1 centimeter and 4 centimeters or for example between 1 .5 centimeters and 3.0 centimeters.
- the less height of the material to be dried the less differences are to be expected from the specific vertical placement of a respective part of the material to be dried.
- This consideration favors an overall flat geometrical form of a drying bag once unfolded and erected, i.e., a high area-to-volume ratio.
- a high area is beneficial for a smooth and good heat transfer into the material to be dried during drying, when the heat transfer occurs by contact of a base of the bag shell, for example the bag bottom wall, with a warmed surface.
- This consideration favors also an overall flat geometrical form of a drying bag once unfolded and erected, i.e., the high area-to-volume ratio.
- the warmed surface is a supporting tub bottom wall, which itself is warmed on a respective heated shelf of the drying chamber.
- a cooling phase which serves to freeze the material to be dried. This also involves a heat transfer, but this time heat is flowing from the material to be dried towards a respective cooled shelf of the drying chamber.
- the unfolded and erected bag shell has a geometrical form of a cylinder.
- the geometrical form is a half cylinder.
- the geometrical form is for example a prism. In case of four bag side walls, the geometrical form is for example a cuboid. It is understood that the respective forms are to some extent idealized, for example the bag top wall might be not perfectly planar respectively having curvatures and depressions. For example, the edges of the respective geometrical form are curved caused by bends of the pliable first plastic foil.
- a bag shell with a geometrical form of a cuboid has the advantage that a manufacturing from an endless hose made of the pliable first plastic foil is possible. The manufacturing requires the closing of both ends of a tube, which is cut from the endless hose, and optionally some cutting at these ends prior the closing.
- the vapor permeable sheet needs also to be inserted, for example by cutting a respective opening in the tube wall followed by welding with a respective piece of the vapor permeable sheet.
- a bag bottom wall, a bag top wall and two of the bag side walls i.e., preferably the two ones which have a larger length unless the cuboid is a cube, are formed automatically, when the drying bag is unfolded and erected during positioning in the supporting tub.
- the pliable first plastic foil is beneficial for avoiding a need for preformed joints at the transitions of the bag bottom wall to the two of the bag side walls and the transitions from for these two bag side walls to the bag top wall.
- the bag shell of the drying bag is formed by one bag top wall having a bag top wall upper site, a bag top wall lower site and a bag top wall access opening, which reaches from the bag top wall upper site to the bag top wall lower site, one bag bottom wall having a bag bottom wall upper site and a bag bottom wall lower site, at least one bag side wall having a bag side wall inner site and a bag side wall outer site, the bag top wall lower site, the bag bottom wall upper site and all of the at least one bag side wall inner sites define the bag interior cavity, the bag shell access opening is the bag top wall access opening, the bag bottom wall and each of the at least one bag side wall are made of a pliable first plastic foil, the bag top wall is partly made of the pliable first plastic foil and partly made of the vapor permeable sheet.
- the drying bag has a bag shell, which has four bag side walls and is in the form of an approximated cuboid, when the drying bag is positioned for drying in the supporting tub and the two tensioning belt fastening elements are detachably connected at the two supporting tub anchors for the tensioning belt fastening element, which are arranged opposite to each other at the supporting tub.
- a bag top wall edge is the transition from the bag top wall to a bag side wall. In other words, the bag top wall edge connects to a bag side wall.
- a bag top wall edge is well-defined once the drying bag is positioned in the supporting tub. When determined by a vertical top view, i.e. by viewing from above onto the bag top wall, the bag top wall edge extends in the direction of the respective side wall until the essentially perpendicular side wall start. It is understood that a bag top wall edge is geometrically idealized in the form of a right angle but deviates from this due to gravity and a possible bending angle of the bag shell material at the bag top wall edge.
- a bag top wall frame is defined on the bag top wall upper site.
- the bag top wall frame surrounds perimetrically - and thus defines - an inner zone of the bag top wall upper site.
- This initially merely formal definition of an inner zone gets relevant once the bag shell outer site at the inner zone of the bag top wall upper site is made of a different material than bag top wall frame.
- the bag top wall frame is made of the pliable first plastic foil and the inner zone of the bag top wall frame is made of the vapor permeable sheet with an exception of the bag shell access opening.
- all of the first-plastic-foil-to-sheet connection points are at the top wall.
- all of the first-plastic-foil-to-sheet connection points are at the bag top wall frame at the top wall.
- An advantage of the bag top wall edge being made of the pliable first plastic foil is that the pliable first plastic foil is more amenable to a bending than the vapor permeable sheet, which is tentatively less bendable than the pliable first plastic foil.
- the bag top wall frame consists geometrically formally out of a closed bag top wall edge strip, which has a constant or variable bag top wall edge strip width. If the bag top wall edge strip width gets too small, then a material foreseen for the inner zone of the top wall upper site extends into a bag top wall edge and gets bended.
- the bag top wall edge strip width gets too large, then the area foreseen for a material with vapor permeability decreases and can impact a stream of gaseous evaporated components from the material to be dried during drying, which is located at the bag interior cavity close to a respective side wall.
- the bag top wall edge strip width is in a range above 4 millimeter and below 50 millimeter. More preferably, it is in a range of above 5 millimeter and below 30 millimeter. Very preferably, it is in a range of above 6 millimeter and below 25 millimeter.
- the drying bag has a bag top wall, which connects to a bag side wall at a bag top wall edge and each bag top wall edge is made of the pliable first plastic foil.
- the drying bag has a first portion of the bag shell outer site, which is made of the pliable first plastic foil, a second portion of the bag shell outer site, which is made of the vapor permeable sheet, and all of the bag top wall edges form a perimetrical bag top wall frame at the bag top wall upper site, which surrounds the second portion of the bag shell outer site at the bag top wall upper site.

- the double fixation bag top wall tape strip which includes two free tensioning belt ends, and both tensioning belt ends are directed to opposite directions, offers a possibility to carry a part of the weight of the bag top wall via the bag-top-wall-tape-strip connection point.
- a thread for this part of the top wall to sag in the direction of the bag bottom wall is diminished.
- An advantage of using the double fixation bag top wall tape strip with its both ends directed in opposite directions is keeping an overall flat height once the drying bag is positioned in the supporting tub. There is no additional installation height introduced by a beam or a rod at the supporting tub. Furthermore, the beam or the rod would have to be integrated into the supporting tub set-up as an additional element.
- a bag-top-wall- tape-strip connection point is at the top wall close to the nearest bag side wall and a bag bottom wall tape strip connection point is at the bag bottom wall close to the nearest bag side wall.
- a bag top wall tape strip might partly overlay the vapor permeable sheet at the bag top wall upper site.
- a bag top wall tape strip has for example a bag top wall tape strip flow aperture.
- the bag top wall tape strip flow aperture at a double fixation bag top wall tape strip is a specific double fixation tensioning belt flow aperture.
- the bag top wall tape strip flow aperture is located at a position, where the bag top wall tape strip covers the vapor permeable sheet at the bag top wall upper site.
- a bag top wall tape strip flow aperture reduces a potential hindrance of a transfer of the gaseous evaporated component from the material to be dried through the vapor permeable sheet.
- a required mechanical stability of the bag top wall tape strip i.e., a double fixation bag top wall tape strip or a single fixation bag top wall tape strip, should be considered in view of a number and a size of one or more bag top wall tape strip flow apertures.
- a bag bottom wall tape strip i.e., a double fixation bag bottom wall tape strip or a single fixation bag bottom wall tape strip, includes optionally a bag bottom wall tape strip flow aperture.
- the bag bottom wall tape strip flow aperture can provide an advantage for a heat transfer from the supporting tub bottom wall to the bag bottom wall or vice versa by having more direct contact between the supporting tub bottom wall upper site and the bag bottom wall lower site than without the bag bottom wall tape strip flow aperture.

- a bag bottom tape strip i.e., a double fixation bag bottom wall tape strip or a single fixation bag bottom wall tape strip, can have an extended overall length.
- the free bag bottom wall tape strip end is then extended by at least the height of a bag side wall. This allows that the free extended bag bottom wall tape strip end is guided through or around a supporting tub hold-down.
- a supporting tub hold-down allows to detachably connect the tensioning belt fastening element of the bag bottom wall tape strip end at a supporting tub anchor for the tensioning belt fastening element, which is attached at a supporting tub side wall top rim. This allows to keep the supporting tub bottom wall upper site free of a supporting tub anchor for the tensioning belt fastening element. This avoids a danger of harming the bag shell, especially the bag bottom wall, which is made of the pliable first plastic foil.

- An alternative to plastic-welding is a suitable glue, if the glue is inert at least for the time and under the conditions of drying against the material to be dried, the gaseous evaporated components of the material to be dried and the dried material.
- the described connection results in a bag-shell-bag- access-tube-piece connecting point, which surrounds the bag shell access opening.
- the bag shell access opening is a bag top wall access opening, i.e., the bag shell has a bag top wall and the bag shell access opening is located at the bag top wall
- the bag -shell-bag-access-tube- piece connecting point is a bag-top-wall-bag-access-tube-piece connecting point.
- the bag-top-wall-bag-access- tube-piece connecting point is located completely at the bag top wall frame.
- This allows to keep the area of the second portion of the bag shell outer site, which is made of the vapor permeable sheet, large. Consequently, for fitting to the bag top wall frame, the bag top wall access opening has in case of a bag access tube piece typically an elongated form.
- the pliability of the pliable first plastic foil allows an easy change from the elongated form towards a more circular form by a respective pulling at the bag shell. Hence, a dried material in a powder form is easier removable from the bag interior cavity.
- connection is typically tight for the material to be dried, the gaseous evaporated components of the material to be dried and the dried material.
- a removable tube clamp can be used to squeeze the bag access tube piece in the middle or more in the direction of the other, i.e., free, end of the bag access tube piece.
- RTM Ziploc
- the moulding part A and the moulding part B are separated from each other and thus the closable bag access opening is re-opened.
- a type of Ziploc (RTM) with a zip fastener typically requires guiding rails for the zip fastener, for example connected to the bag access tube piece outer site.
- RTM Ziploc
- a zip fastener enables a more comfortable closing and re-opening of the bag access opening.

- the bag access opening is located at one end of a bag access tube piece and the other end of the bag access tube piece is connected to the bag shell at a bag -shell-bag-access- tube-piece connection point, which surrounds the bag shell access opening.
- the drying bag which comprises further a plate having a plate upper site, a plate lower site and a closable plate access opening, which reaches from the plate upper site (201 ) to the plate lower site (202), the bag access opening is at least partly defined by the closable plate access opening and the bag shell access opening, the plate and the bag shell are connected at the bag access opening, the plate, when the drying bag is positioned for drying in a supporting tub, is detachably connected at the supporting tub.

- the bag-shell-plate connection point for example specifically the bag-top-wall-plate connection point
- the complete top wall is made solely of the vapor permeable sheet to provide as much area as formally possible for a transfer of gaseous evaporated components of the material to dried through the vapor permeable sheet during drying.
- the bag top wall upper site has a total areal size, which can be determined by a vertical top view. The more area of the bag top wall upper site is made solely of the vapor permeable sheet, the higher the possibility of a transfer respectively a transfer rate. It is noted that the complete area cannot be made solely of the vapor permeable sheet.
- the drying bag has a first portion of the bag shell outer site, which is made of the pliable first plastic foil, a second portion of the bag shell outer site, which is made of the vapor permeable sheet, and a bag-shell-connecting zone of the plate lower site, which surrounds the closable plate access opening, and a plate-connecting zone of the bag shell outer site, which surrounds the bag shell access opening, are opposite to each other and define the bag -shell- plate connection point, which surrounds the closable plate access opening and the bag shell access opening and at which the plate and the bag shell are connected, and the plateconnecting zone of the bag shell outer site is at the second portion of the bag shell outer site.
- the drying bag has a plate-connecting zone of the bag shell outer site, which is a plate-connecting zone of the bag top wall upper site, the bag shell access opening is the bag top wall access opening, the bag-shell-plate connection point is a bag-top-wall-plate connection point, and the second portion of the bag shell outer site is at the bag top wall upper site.
- the drying bag has a first portion of the bag shell outer site, which is made of the pliable first plastic foil, a second portion of the bag shell outer site, which is made of the vapor permeable sheet, and the bag top wall upper site has a total areal size determined by a vertical top view, and the second portion of the bag shell outer site covers between 35 to 90 percent of the total areal size of the bag top wall outer site as determined by a vertical top view and is solely made of the vapor permeable sheet, for example between 45 to 85 percent, for example 55 to 80 percent and for example 65 to 75 percent.
- the drying bag comprises a plate having a plate upper site, a plate lower site and a closable plate access opening, which reaches from the plate upper site to the plate lower site, the bag access opening is at least partly defined by the closable plate access opening and the bag shell access opening, the plate and the bag shell are connected at the bag access opening, and the plate, when the drying bag is positioned for drying in a supporting tub, is detachably connected at the supporting tub.
- An advantage of the plate is the provision of mechanical stability to the bag shell access opening with its plate access opening, which builds together with the bag shell access opening the bag access opening.
- the plate access opening is closable by a suitable lid and thus the plate access opening provides to the bag access opening also a port functionality, which allows a removable closure of the bag access opening by a lid.
- the plate comprises optionally a plate fastening element.
- the plate fastening element is involved in the detachable connection of the plate to the supporting tub.
- the plate fastening element prevents movement of the plate in at least one direction, when the drying bag is positioned for drying in the supporting tub and the plate is detachably connected at the supporting tub.
- the plate fastening element is optionally also involved in a twist-proof and detachable connection of the plate at the supporting tub, when the drying bag is positioned for drying in the supporting tub and the plate is detachably connected at the supporting tub.
- the plate fastening element is for example a plate fastening hook, a plate hole or a plate stud.
- a combination of two or more plate fastening elements at the plate is also possible. If present at the plate, an amount of plate fastening elements is one, two, three, four or more than four. For example, two or three plate fastening elements is beneficial, especially two.
- the plate when the plate is twist-proofly and detachably connected to the supporting tub, the plate holds via the connection at the bag access opening an upper part of the bag shell and supports the bag shell being unfolded and erected for having a large volume of the bag interior cavity.
- a closing as well as a re-opening of the bag access opening by a lid exerts a torque on the plate access opening, for example by screwing on a lid with an inner thread or by pressing a lid with a soft rim into or onto the plate opening access part of the bag access opening.
- a diameter of the lid and thus the resulting torque is typically relatively large, since a large diameter of the bag access opening is desirable for removing the dried material, which is typically in a solid form and comprises fine particles, from the bag interior cavity. Diverting the occurring torque for closing or re-opening the bag access opening via the detachably connected plate to the supporting tub allows using a less rigid, less mechanical stable but also less thick bag shell than without a mechanical support provided by the plate detachably connected at the supporting tub.
- the plate has typically in addition to the plate upper site and the plate lower site one or more front sides. In comparison to the one or more front sides, the area of the plate upper site and the plate lower site, including at both sites the formally empty area of the plate access opening, is large.
- the plate is typically planar and flat- bottomed. Thus, the plate does not take away too much tub space respectively does not occupy too much of a supporting tub recess. Furthermore, the plate does not contribute too much to an overall height of the drying system once the drying bag is positioned in the supporting tub. Additionally, when the drying bag is folded, a flat-bottomed plate is beneficial to a low storage volume of the folded drying bag.
- An exception to the flat-bottomed form of the plate can be the closable plate access opening in case its plate surroundings extend as a tube from the plate upper site or the plate lower site, typically from the plate upper site.
- the tube allows to better integrate a plate opening thread, which serves for a lid with a fitting counter thread.
- the plate opening thread is preferably an external thread.
- An external thread avoids for example that residues of dried material are held back in thread grooves of an internal thread, when the dried material is removed via the re-opened bag access opening.
- An exception to the flat-bottomed form of the plate can be the plate stud, for example when the plate stud extends from the plate upper site or the plate lower site.
- the plate is made for example from a third plastic, a metal, a laminated wood or a laminated cardboard.
- the third plastic can be the same plastic as the first plastic of the pliable first plastic foil, if the plate, which is significantly thicker than the pliable first plastic foil, is still stiff enough to fulfill its mechanical functions.
- the plate is made of a third plastic.
- the third plastic is for example polyethylene, for example a high density polyethylene, for example polyethylene HD 6081 obtainable from the company TotalEnergies, or a polypropylene.

- the drying bag has a closable plate access opening, which has a plate opening thread.
- the drying bag has a plate, which is made of a third plastic.
- the plate hole or the plate stud as a specific plate fastening element help to ensure a twist -proof and detachable connection of the plate at the supporting tub, when the drying bag is positioned in the supporting tub, by a form-fitting engagement with a matching fixture at the supporting tub.
- the plate hole is for example a plate reach-through hole, which reaches from the plate upper site or the plate lower site, or a plate blind hole, which starts from the plate upper site or the plate lower site and ends in the plate.
- the plate reach-through hole has the advantage of a larger contact zone with the matching fixture at the supporting tub and thus a resulting higher mechanical stability in view of the typically flat-bottomed plate.
- the plate stud is for example a plate perpendicular stud or a plate inclined stud.
- the plate perpendicular stud extends perpendicularly from the plate upper site or the plate lower site.
- the plate inclined stud extends at an angle different to essentially 90 degrees from the plate upper site of the plate lower site.
- a plate perpendicular stud has the advantage that the torque, which occurs during closing or reopening of the bag access opening, is better absorbed, i.e., a different angle might lead to an easier pull-out of the plate stud from its matching fixture at the supporting tub.
- the plate stud is for example a full stud or a tube stud.
- the tube stud includes a centered open hole, whereas the full stud does not have an open hole.
- the plate optionally comprises a plate flow opening, which reaches from the plate upper site to the plate lower site.
- the plate flow opening is for example a plate flow hole.
- a plate flow opening reduces a potential hindrance of a transfer of the gaseous evaporated component from the material to be dried through the vapor permeable sheet.
- a required mechanical stability of the plate should be considered in view of a number and a size of one or more plate flow openings.
- the drying bag has a plate with a plate hole or a plate stud, wherein the plate hole is a plate reach-through hole, which reaches from the plate upper site to the plate lower site, and the plate stud is a plate perpendicular stud, which is fixed at the plate upper site or the plate lower site and stands perpendicularly out.

- the drying bag has a plate flow opening, which reaches from the plate upper site to the plate lower site.
- the closable plate access opening can be closed by a removable lid, which leads to a closure of the bag access opening and thus of the drying bag unless the lid itself contains an unclosed opening.
- a closed drying bag means that the drying bag is essentially tight for the material to be dried and for the dried material except for whatever can transfer through the vapor permeable sheet.
- the removable lid is for example a removable plug or a removable lid with a counter thread, which fits to the plate opening thread. The removable lid with the counter thread can be screwed onto the plate opening thread. A large diameter of the bag access opening is especially helpful for removal of dried material, which is in solid form, from the bag interior cavity.
- the removable lid with its large diameter does not have to be always removed and instead, an access option exists at the removable lid.
- the removable lid comprises a closable lid opening, which reaches from the lid upper site to the lid lower site.
- the removable lid comprises a closable lid opening and a lid opening thread.
- the lid opening thread allows that the lid opening is removably closed by a removable cap, which has a cap counter thread, and the cap counter thread fits to the lid opening thread.
- a temperature measurement of the material to be dried during the drying an insertion of a temperature probe into the material to be dried is beneficial.
- the removable cap which comprises a cap counter thread and the cap counter thread fits to the lid opening thread, comprises further a closable cap opening.
- the closable cap opening can be closed with a removable semi-closed guide tube suitable for removably inserting a temperature probe into the semi-closed guide tube.
- the semi-closed guide tube has a length, which allows to reach into the bag interior cavity and there close to the bottom wall. Accordingly, a closed bottom of the semiclosed guide tube reaches into a material to be dried in the drying bag, which is positioned in the supporting tub and filled with the material to be dried.
- An insertion of a temperature probe which fits to the inner body of the semi-closed guide tube and is in physical contact with the semi-closed guide tube, allows a measurement of the temperature in the material to be dried via an indirect physical contact.
- a temperature measurement might only be conducted in one or two of the several drying systems. Accordingly, some of the semi-closed guide tubes at the respective caps remain without an inserted temperature probe or a removable cap without a cap opening but with a cap counter thread is screwed onto the respective lid openings with a lid opening thread for an overall closure of the bag access opening by the removable lid with the closable lid opening.
- the large diameter of the bag access opening allows to introduce into the bag interior cavity a wireless temperature probe, which is sufficiently capsuled to be chemically resistant against the material to be dried.
- the test calibration might serve to control the temperature measured by the temperature probe inserted to the semi-closed guide tube or to work generally with significantly less temperature probes, if similar drying campaigns of material to be dried originating from similar batches in a similar drying chamber are repeated under similar drying conditions. While the dried material from the drying bag of the calibration drying bag might afterwards be disposed in case of very stringent requirements of no deviation.
- the lid and the cap are for example made from a fourth plastic.
- the fourth plastic is for example a polyethylene, for example a high-density polyethylene, for example polyethylene HD 6081 obtainable from the company TotalEnergies.
- the guide tube is for example made from a fifth plastic.
- the fifth plastic is for example a fluoroplastic resin, for example Teflon (TM) PFA 440 HPB obtainable from the company Chemours.
- the drying bag has a closable plate access opening, which is closed with a removable lid.
- the drying bag has a closable plate access opening, which is closed with a removable lid, which comprises a lid counter thread, which fits to the plate opening thread.
- the drying bag has a closable plate access opening, which is closed with a removable lid, which has a closable lid opening and a lid opening thread, which closable lid opening is closed with a removable cap, which has a cap counter thread, and the cap counter thread fits to the lid opening thread.
- the drying bag has a closable plate access opening, which is closed with a removable lid, which has a closable lid opening and a lid opening thread, which closable lid opening is closed with a removable cap, which has a cap counter thread, and the cap counter thread fits to the lid opening thread, and which has a closable cap opening.
- the drying bag has a closable plate access opening, which is closed with a removable lid, which has a closable lid opening and a lid opening thread, which closable lid opening is closed with a removable cap, which has a cap counter thread and the cap counter thread fits to the lid opening thread, and which has a closable cap opening, and which closable cap opening is closed with a removable semi-closed guide tube suitable for removably inserting a temperature probe into the semi-closed guide tube.
- the drying bag has a closable plate access opening, which is closed with a removable lid, which has a closable lid opening and a lid opening thread, which closable lid opening is closed with a removable cap, which has a cap counter thread and the cap counter thread fits to the lid opening thread, and which has a closable cap opening, and which closable cap opening is closed with a removable semi-closed guide tube suitable for removably inserting a temperature probe into the semi-closed guide tube, and the temperature probe is removably inserted in the semi-closed guide tube.
- the removable lid as mounted on the bag access opening contributes to the overall height of the drying system with the closed drying bag positioned in the supporting tub and the plate detachably connected to the supporting tub.
- Space for drying in a drying chamber is valuable, particularly in case of freeze-drying in view of the reduced pressure in the drying chamber and the involved increased technical requirements for a reinforced construction of the drying chamber.
- an overall flat geometrical form of a drying bag once unfolded and erected after positioning in the supporting tub i.e., with a high area-to-volume ratio, is desirable.
- a removable lid with a closable lid opening and a lid opening thread which extends from the lid opening, can add additional height by the extending lid opening thread. It is desirable that a removable lid with a closable lid opening and a lid opening thread remains as flat as a removable lid without a closable lid opening and without a lid opening thread. It is understood that the same applies once a removable cap is closing the closable lid opening.
- the possibility to the choose a bag access opening with a large diameter is an advantage, when the dried material is obtained in a powdery state with a high bulk density. While filling a liquid into a container is less an issue if the liquid is not too viscous, the removal of a voluminous powder, which has partly formed larger but mechanically instable clumps or even one mechanically instable aggregate, which is often a form of the dried material especially after freeze-drying.
- the bag access opening of the drying bag can be chosen with a relatively large diameter.
- a complete location of the bag-shell-bag-access-tube-piece connection point for example the bag -top-wall-bag- access-tube-piece connecting point, at a part of the bag shell made of the pliable first plastic foil, allows a change from an elongated form to a more circular form.
- the bag access opening is integrated and thus mechanically stabilized by the plate, which can itself be rigidly connected at the supporting tub.
- a bag access opening with a large diameter at the drying bag does not require a bag shell, which is rigidly constructed for dissipating the forces involved in closing and re-opening a lid with a relatively large diameter.
- a simple cutting of the bag shell for a removal of the dried material includes a risk that debris of the bag shell from the cutting pollutes the material to be dried.
- the dried material is more openly exposed to the environment.
- an opening generated by a cutting of the bag shell at the pliable first plastic foil generates a mechanically less stable port than the bag access opening. Accordingly, it is harder to control its dimensions during a removal of the dried material from the bag interior cavity.
- the bag access opening has typically a circular form in case of the plate access opening.
- the bag access opening diameter is typically a circle diameter.
- the bag access opening has typically an elongated form in case of the plate access opening at the bag access tube piece.

- the drying bag has one bag shell opening or two bag shell openings.
- the drying bag has one bag access opening. Having only one opening has the advantage that less constructive interventions into the bag shell are necessary.
- the drying bag is free of a plate having a plate upper site, a plate lower site and a closable plate access opening, which reaches from the plate upper site to the plate lower site, the bag access opening is at least partly defined by the closable plate access opening and the bag shell access opening, the plate and the bag shell are connected at the bag access opening, and the plate, when the drying bag is positioned for drying in a supporting tub, is detachably connected at the supporting tub.

- the average size of such emerging particles is between 1 micrometer and 100 micrometers as measured by Focused Beam Reflectance Measurement technology.

- a skilled person will routinely carry out tests with different sheet materials to select an appropriate sheet for a specific purpose.
- the drying bag is a drying bag for drying a biological or pharmaceutical material, which biological or pharmaceutical material is a mixture Mix-start-1 comprising a substance Sub-1 , which is a biological or pharmaceutical substance Sub-1 , and a solvent Sol-1 and the substance Sub-1 is dissolved in the solvent Sol-1 .
- biological or pharmaceutical material is a mixture Mix-start-1 comprising a substance Sub-1 , which is a biological or pharmaceutical substance Sub-1 , and a solvent Sol-1 and the substance Sub-1 is dissolved in the solvent Sol-1 .
- the drying bag has a pliable first plastic foil, which is essentially tight for a starting mixture Mix-start-1 , the substance Sub-1 and the solvent Sol-1 , and a vapor permeable sheet, which is permeable for the solvent Sol-1 in gaseous form and essentially tight for the solvent Sol-1 in liquid form or in solid form, essentially tight for the substance Sub-1 in gaseous, liquid or solid form and essentially tight for the starting mixture Mix-start-1 in liquid or solid form.

- a vapor permeable sheet which is permeable for the solvent Sol-1 in gaseous form and essentially tight for the solvent Sol-1 in liquid form or in solid form, essentially tight for the substance Sub-1 in gaseous, liquid or solid form and essentially tight for the starting mixture Mix-start-1 in liquid or solid form.
- a further embodiment of the invention is a drying system, which comprises a drying bag for drying a biological or pharmaceutical material, which comprises a bag shell having a bag shell outer site, a bag shell inner site, a bag interior cavity and a bag shell access opening, which reaches from the bag shell outer site to the bag shell inner site, a closable bag access opening, which provides an access to the bag interior cavity via the bag shell access opening, a double fixation tensioning belt, which is connected to the bag shell outer site at a tensioning-belt-bag-shell connection point, and which includes two free tensioning belt ends, which are arranged opposite to each other, each of the two free tensioning belt ends includes a tensioning belt fastening element, which allows a detachable connection of the free tensioning belt end at a supporting tub anchor for the tensioning belt fastening element, which is attached at a supporting tub, the bag shell is partly made of a pliable first plastic foil and partly made of a vapor permeable sheet, and a supporting tub, which comprises one supporting
- a number of supporting tub anchors for the tensioning belt fastening element at the supporting tub depends on the number of tensioning belt fastening elements. For example, two tensioning belt fastening elements require at least two supporting tub anchors for the tensioning belt fastening element. If there are for example four tensioning belt fastening elements, then at least four supporting tub anchors for the tensioning belt fastening element are required.
- An already addressed function of the supporting tub is to keep the unfolded drying bag erected once positioned in the supporting tub. Furthermore, the supporting tub has the already addressed function of a safety device in case of a leakage of the material to be dried from the bag interior cavity through the bag shell.
- This safety function requires that the supporting tub is tight at its bottom wall and each of its at least one supporting tub side walls from the bottom wall up to the height of the material to be dried in the drying bag, which height is determined starting from the supporting tub bottom wall upper site.
- the supporting tub is tight if each of the at least one supporting tub side wall is free of an unclosed opening or a hole, which reaches from the supporting tub side wall inner site of one of the at least one supporting tub side walls to the supporting tub side wall outer site, and which is below the height of the material to be dried in the drying bag, which height is determined starting from the supporting tub bottom wall upper site. Furthermore, if the supporting tub bottom wall is free of an unclosed opening or a hole, which reaches from the supporting tub bottom wall upper site to the supporting tub bottom wall lower site.
- the supporting tub is preferably an open tub, which is at least partially open at the site opposite to the supporting tub bottom wall upper site.
- a positioning of the drying bag in the supporting tub leads to the desired supporting function of the supporting tub, i.e., a situation that parts of the bag shell outer site lie on the supporting tub bottom wall upper site, with an exception in case of a tensioning belt attached at these parts of the bag shell outer site, and each of the bag side wall outer sites touches a supporting tub side wall inner site.
- the bag bottom wall lower site lies on the supporting tub bottom wall upper site, with an exception in case of a bag bottom wall tape strip, and each of the bag side wall outer sites touches a supporting tub side wall inner site.
- a thickness of the at least one supporting tub side wall i.e., the shortest distance between a supporting tub side wall’s inner site and outer site, is preferably only thick enough to fulfill the mechanical stability function and the desired overall mechanical stability or mechanical robustness of the drying system.
- a thickness of the supporting tub bottom i.e., the shortest distance between a supporting tub bottom wall’s upper site and lower site, is preferably only thick enough to fulfill the mechanical stability function, the desired overall mechanical stability or mechanical robustness of the drying system and to keep its geometrical form for an efficient heat transfer. The heat transfer occurs from a temperature- regulated shelf of a drying chamber once the drying system is put onto it and drying has started, via the supporting tub bottom wall and via the bag shell to the material to be dried in the bag interior cavity.
- a positive heat transfer to the material to be dried occurs, when the shelf is warmed, whereas a negative heat transfer occurs to the material to be dried, when the shelf is cooled. Cooling respectively freezing of the material to be dried is an initial step during a freeze- drying procedure. If the supporting tub bottom wall is too thin, then a curling of the supporting tub bottom wall during repeated usage can be a danger and a continuous contact with the temperature-regulated shelf of the drying chamber is interrupted at a part of the supporting tub bottom wall lower site. It is noted that there is no physical contact foreseen between the material to be dried or the dried material with the supporting tub unless an accidental leakage of the bag shell. Accordingly, there is no need for a cleaning, for example a washing, of the supporting tub after each drying.
- the supporting tub is for example made of a metal, for example stainless steel, a nickel alloy, or a titanium alloy.
- the stainless steel is for example stainless steel 316 L, for example stainless steel 316L with a surface finish 2B and an average roughness RA equal to or smaller than 0.8 micrometers.
- the nickel alloy is for example Hastelloy C-22 (TM) from the company Haynes.
- the titanium alloy is for example titanium grade 5.
- each of the at least one supporting tub side walls extends perpendicularly from the supporting tub bottom wall.
- the number of supporting tub side walls is an integer and equal to the sum of all bag side walls.
- the drying system has a drying bag with a bag interior cavity, which bag interior cavity has a bag interior volume V in t-bag, the supporting tub recess has a supporting tub recess volume Vs U p-recess, and the bag interior cavity volume V in t-bag is smaller than the supporting tub recess volume V sup -recess-
- the drying system has a supporting tub, which is made of stainless steel.
- the unfolded and erected bag shell has a geometrical form of a cylinder.
- the supporting tub has preferably one supporting tub side wall and a geometrical form of an open cylinder, i.e., with a missing roof area.
- the geometrical form is a half cylinder.
- the supporting tub has preferably two supporting tub side walls and a geometrical form of an opened half cylinder, i.e., with a missing roof area.
- the geometrical form is for example a prism.
- the supporting tub has preferably three supporting tub side walls and a geometrical form of an opened prism, i.e., with a missing roof area.
- the geometrical form is for example a cuboid.
- the supporting tub has preferably four supporting tub side walls and a geometrical form of an opened cuboid, i.e., with a missing roof area.
- the supporting tub with a geometrical form of an opened cuboid has for example a length of 75 centimeters, a width of 30 centimeters and a height of 5 centimeters. It is understood that the respective forms are to some extent idealized, for example a supporting tub overhang or a supporting tub anchor for a tensioning belt fastening element at a supporting tub side wall top rim can create a deviation.
- the edges of the respective geometrical forms are slightly curved because the supporting tub is manufactured by bending of a laser cutted sheet followed by connecting the edges of the supporting tub side walls, which are lying next to each other, for example by welding.
- a supporting tub anchor for a tensioning belt fastening element at a supporting tub side wall top rim which is a supporting tub hook for the bag top wall tape strip, could add an additional height of 0.8 centimeters to the height of 5 centimeters.
- the length of the supporting tub hook for the bag top wall tape strip is for example 3 centimeters.
- the height of 5 centimeters is the height of the supporting tub side wall, which reaches from the supporting tub bottom wall lower site until the supporting tub side wall top rim without a supporting tub anchor for a tensioning belt fastening element.
- the drying system has a drying bag with a bag shell, which has four bag side walls and is in the geometrical form of an approximated cuboid, when the drying bag is positioned for drying in the supporting tub and the two tensioning belt fastening elements are detachably connected at the two supporting tub anchors for the tensioning belt fastening element, which are arranged opposite to each other, and the number of supporting tub side walls is four and the supporting tub bottom wall has a rectangular form.
- a detachable connection of the plate to the supporting tub which is detachable, for example which is twist-proof and detachable, is desirably conducted in a few simple steps.
- the supporting tub has for example a mechanical holding device, which enables the detachable connection of the plate to the supporting tub, when the drying bag is positioned in the supporting tub.
- a mechanical holding device is for example a supporting tub overhang.
- a detachable connection of the plate to the supporting tub involves for example a detachable fixation element.
- a detachable fixation element is herein defined as an element, which is not permanently mounted at the drying bag, i.e., including not at the plate of the drying bag, and which is not permanently mounted on the supporting tub.
- the detachable fixation element is mounted, when the drying bag is positioned in the supporting tub, and dismounted, when the drying bag is removed from the supporting tub.
- An example of a detachable fixation element is a tension spring, a bolt or a clamp.
- the tension spring is for example a tension spring with eyelets or a tension spring with hooks.
- a supporting tub overhang is attached at the supporting tub.
- the supporting tub overhang is attached at a supporting tub side wall top rim.
- the supporting tub overhang has for example a flat plate-type form with a supporting tub overhang upper site and a supporting tub overhang lower site.
- the supporting tub overhang lower site is directed towards the supporting tub bottom wall upper site.
- the supporting tub includes for example one or two supporting tub overhangs. The amount of the supporting tub overhangs at the supporting tub depends on the required mechanical stability at the detachable connection of the plate, e.g., an overall geometrical arrangement of the plate in relation to the supporting tub and a mechanical strength of the material of the supporting tub overhang.
- the amount of the supporting tub overhangs at the supporting tub can additionally depend on the specific way, how the plate is detachably connected to the supporting tub.
- the supporting tub overhang includes for example matching mechanical elements, which supports the detachable connection of the plate to the supporting tub.
- a matching mechanical element is for example a matching fixture for an engagement of the plate fastening element or a supporting tub overhang guide element.
- a matching fixture for an engagement of the plate fastening element is for example a supporting tub overhang fastening element.
- a supporting tub overhang fastening element is for example a supporting tub overhang hole or a supporting tub overhang bar.
- a supporting tub overhang hole is for example a supporting tub overhang reach-through hole.
- a supporting tub overhang reach-through hole reaches from the supporting tub overhang upper site to the supporting tub overhang lower site.
- a supporting tub overhang attached at a supporting tub side wall top rim is for example a suitable part of the supporting tub for attaching the respective matching fixtures for an engagement of the plate fastening element, which is a plate hole or a plate stud.
- the supporting tub overhang comprises optionally a supporting tub overhang flow opening, which reaches from the supporting tub overhang upper site to the supporting tub overhang lower site.
- the supporting tub overhang flow opening is for example a supporting tub overhang flow hole.
- a supporting tub overhang flow opening reduces a potential hindrance of a transfer of the gaseous evaporated component from the material to be dried through the vapor permeable sheet.
- a required mechanical stability of the supporting tub overhang should be considered in view of a number and a size of one or more supporting tub overhang flow openings.
- a first form of execution of a detachable connection of the plate at the supporting tub is a formfitting frame for the plate of the drying bag at the supporting tub.
- the plate does not necessarily need a plate fastening element.
- a form -fitting frame at the supporting tub is for example provided by a supporting tub overhang at the supporting tub.
- the form-fitting frame is for example formed by one supporting tub overhang or a combination of two supporting tub overhangs.
- the supporting tub overhang is in this scenario for example rather planar and parallel to the supporting tub bottom wall. Rather planar means that the supporting tub overhang has at least one planar surface, where a form -fitting planar part of the plate of the drying bag can engage, e.g., lay on.
- the bag shell outer site generates some resistance, e.g., by the vapor permeable sheet, once it touches the supporting tub overhang at the supporting tub overhang lower site.
- the supporting tub overhang lower site is directed in this scenario towards the supporting tub bottom wall.
- the supporting tub overhang includes in this scenario supporting tub overhang guide elements.
- a supporting tub overhang guide element is for example a supporting tub overhang lateral guide element or a supporting tub overhang stop guide element.
- the supporting tub overhang lateral guide element serves for a guidance of the plate in a specific direction. The lateral guidance occurs initially during detachably connecting the plate to the supporting tub as well as continuously during the detachable connection of the plate at the supporting tub and finally during disconnection of the plate from the supporting tub.
- the supporting tub overhang lateral guide element is for example a supporting tub overhang lateral guide cuboid stub or a supporting tub overhang lateral guide hook stub.
- the latter one allows in combination with another supporting tub overhang lateral guide hook stub a mounting of a detachable fixation element, e.g., tensioning of a tension spring between the two hooks. Accordingly, an additional safeguard of the plate in its form-fitting frame against an upward movement can be mounted.
- the supporting tub overhang stop guide element is for example a supporting tub overhang back stop cuboid stub, a supporting tub overhang front stop cuboid stub or a supporting tub overhang front stop arch stub.
- the latter one allows by its geometrical form of an arch, optionally in combination with another supporting tub overhang front stop arch stub, a hindrance of a directly vertical upward movement of the plate. While that is not a complete safeguard of the plate in its form-fitting frame against an upward movement, it is at least a safeguard of the plate in its form-fitting frame against a directly vertical upward movement.
- An advantage of this way of a detachable connection of the plate at the supporting tub is that a detachable fixation element has not to be mounted respectively dismounted.
- a second form of execution of a detachable connection of the plate at the supporting tub is a docking device for the plate of the drying bag at the supporting tub.
- the plate includes advantageously at least one plate fastening element.
- the plate fastening element is a plate fastening hook.
- the docking device at the supporting tub is for example provided by one supporting tub overhang at the supporting tub, which includes a supporting tub overhang bar. The positioning of the supporting tub overhang bar and the two hooks at the plate is conducted in such a way that the hooks engage in the supporting tub overhang bar, when the plate is brought up to the supporting tub overhang at an angle and then pressed down.
- the supporting tub overhang is further rather planar and parallel to the supporting tub bottom wall. Rather planar means that the supporting tub overhang has at least one planar surface, where a form -fitting planar part of the plate of the drying bag can engage, e.g., lay on.
- the combination of the engaged hooks and the laying on holds the plate in its horizontal position once a force pulls the plate downwards to the supporting tub bottom wall, e.g., by gravity or by a vertical downward force during handling of the drying bag, e.g., during closing and opening of the bag access opening.
- a movement of the plate in a horizontal direction opposite to the engaged two plate fastening hooks is also prevented.
- An upward movement which could free the plate from the supporting tub overhang at the supporting tub and thus the supporting tub, is still possible in this scenario.
- a directly vertical upward movement is prevented by the engaged plate fastening hooks.
