Continuous vacuum dryer for protein products
Achieve precise moisture control and maintain product functionality with low-pressure drying, ideal for sensitive protein isolates and essential oil extracts.
Dries and Desolventizes Under Vacuum Conditions
The Vacuum Dryer from Crown Iron Works is designed for industries requiring precise solvent evaporation under low-pressure conditions. This equipment is particularly effective at ensuring product quality and operational efficiency in processes involving drying and desolventization. Using vacuum technology, it reduces operational pressures to as low as 200 mbar absolute, making it ideal for sensitive products like CBD oil, protein isolates, and biodiesel.
Commonly applied in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemicals industries, this vacuum dryer supports continuous operation and integrates easily with existing production lines. Its robust construction offers material options like stainless steel to handle corrosive environments and ensure long-lasting performance. For energy efficiency, it features optimized motor controls that can decrease energy consumption by up to 15%.
Compliance with industry standards is a given, making this vacuum dryer suitable for food-grade and other regulated manufacturing environments. Maintenance is streamlined through an integrated CIP (Clean-In-Place) system, allowing for quick and efficient cleaning operations. Additionally, customization options, like specific chamber sizes and control features, ensure this equipment meets your unique production requirements.
