Vacuum drying for heat-sensitive products
Ensure moisture-sensitive formulations are dried efficiently without compromising product integrity, using dynamic vacuum technology that guarantees uniform heating and eliminates cross-contamination risks.
Efficiently Dries and Mixes Heat-Sensitive Products
The Conical Vacuum Dryer from De Dietrich Process Systems is engineered for dynamic vacuum drying, specifically designed for heat-sensitive products in industries such as pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and specialty chemicals. This equipment stands out with its hydroformed jacket technology, improving heat transfer performance by up to 30% compared to traditional designs. Ideal for batch processes, it serves applications from active pharmaceutical ingredients to bioactive compounds, ensuring thorough drying and mixing with a specially designed agitator that maximizes product renewal on heated surfaces.
Operating under dynamic vacuum conditions, the dryer reduces residual moisture while preventing cross-contamination thanks to its full discharge capability and minimized retention zones. The vertical design allows for complete drainage, optimizing cleaning and maintenance through easy access and configurability to suit different batch volumes. Available in corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, it ensures durability and compatibility with a wide range of chemical substances. Ideally suited for integrating into existing production lines, it complies with industry standards, supporting the rigorous demands of pharmaceutical and chemical processing operations. Customization options and engineering support are available to meet specific customer needs, ensuring seamless installation and functionality within your manufacturing environment.
