Rotary vacuum paddle dryer for pharmaceutical ingredients

Ensure precise moisture control and efficient drying for sensitive compounds, optimizing your production line for high-quality chemical and pharmaceutical outputs.

Dries, Mills, and Mixes Sensitive Ingredients

The MAVADRY from GMM Pfaudler is a rotary vacuum paddle dryer specifically designed for pharmaceutical and chemical processing. It utilizes a heated airfoil blade with an integrated high-speed chopper, ensuring efficient drying and mixing of sensitive ingredients. With its high-torque hydraulic drive, the MAVADRY accommodates a wide range of filling capacities, making it ideal for producing active pharmaceutical ingredients, specialty fine chemicals, and biopharmaceuticals.

Operating under batch mode, it achieves precise moisture control and uniform drying through minimal clearance between the vessel wall and agitator, along with complete jacket coverage for enhanced heat transfer. The MAVADRY’s versatile design supports wet or dry chopping in combination with stator-assisted milling, enhancing particle size reduction and consistency.

Available in stainless steel, Hastelloy, and special alloys, it meets stringent cGMP and FDA guidelines, ensuring compatibility with sensitive applications. Maintenance is simplified with a hinged front door for easy access and inspection, while its compliance with pharmaceutical standards ensures reliability and safety in purification and final conditioning processes.
