Universal dryer for herbal medicine production

Ensure optimal drying of plant-based pharmaceuticals, achieving precise moisture control for reliable bioactive compound stabilization in your production line.

Dries and Extracts Botanical and Chemical Compounds

The Rosenmund® Universal Dryer from De Dietrich Process Systems is designed to meet the rigorous demands of the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and herbal medicine industries. This vacuum dryer efficiently handles drying and solvent recovery for botanical and synthetic materials, utilizing a closed-cycle system that minimizes solvent loss and environmental impact. Ideal for producing rhinitis medication and botanical extracts, it processes both solid and liquid slurries into consistent, dry cakes or powders.

Operating in batch or pilot modes, the dryer supports manual interventions, offering flexibility for varying production scales. Its robust construction in stainless steel or Hastelloy ensures resistance to corrosive substances, enhancing durability and safety. The equipment’s PLC controls facilitate seamless integration into existing production lines, with remote monitoring and data logging for comprehensive process oversight.

Compliant with GMP and FDA standards, the Rosenmund® Universal Dryer incorporates an efficient internal Clean-In-Place (CIP) system, ensuring thorough cleaning between batches, which minimizes contamination risks. The dryer’s customizability allows for tailored configurations to optimize processing speed and chamber size, backed by engineering support for precise adaptation to your production needs.
