Double cone vacuum dryer for thermosensitive products
For precise drying of heat-sensitive powders, this double cone vacuum dryer optimizes moisture removal while preserving product integrity, making it ideal for sensitive applications like pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Dries and Rotates Thermo-Sensitive Products
The BICUUM (MBC-S) from Bachiller is a double cone vacuum dryer engineered for the ultra-vacuum drying of thermo-sensitive products across pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, cosmetics, and food industries. It features a fully heated and insulated rotary drum under a strong vacuum, ensuring efficient moisture removal by keeping the product in constant contact with hot walls.
With capacities ranging from 30L to 30,000L, the BICUUM supports batch processes with vacuum levels below 1 mbar and operating temperatures up to 200º C. Its mechanical simplicity requires minimal maintenance while offering full tightness and low energy consumption due to a reduced product-to-power ratio. Integration options, including PLC control with automatic loading and unloading systems, enhance adaptability to existing production lines.
Constructed under ASME VIII div.1 and EN-13445 standards, it aligns with cGMP and FDA requirements, making it ideal for environments requiring high cleanliness and reproducibility. The mirrored internal finish (Ra ≤ 0.6 µm) facilitates easy cleaning and inspection, complemented by CIP/SIP systems. For industries demanding customized solutions, options include electro-polished surfaces, dust filters, lump-breaking choppers, and ATEX compliance for explosive environments.
