Laboratory vacuum dryer for heat-sensitive materials
Optimize moisture control in heat-sensitive materials with precise and efficient laboratory-scale drying, ensuring product integrity and quality across diverse applications.
Removes Moisture from Solids, Slurries, and Cakes
The Nauta® Conical Vacuum Dryer from Hosokawa Micron is designed for laboratory scale drying operations, offering an effective solution for industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to food production. This equipment utilizes a gentle conical rotary motion, ensuring uniform drying and eliminating the risk of product degradation. Its robust design integrates a vacuum system to reduce the boiling point of solvents, allowing for the safe drying of heat-sensitive materials at low temperatures. Capable of handling solid, slurry, and cake forms, it supports applications in developing APIs, battery electrodes, and protein isolates. The equipment is fully PLC-controlled, facilitating seamless integration into existing laboratory processes. Constructed from high-grade materials, it complies with FDA and cGMP requirements, making it ideal for sterile and contamination-free processing. An optional SIP system ensures easy maintenance and cleaning, while its modular design allows for customization to meet specific research and development needs.
