Dries, Sterilizes, and Preserves Diverse Products
The VTA-Series Vacuum Dryer from ZIRBUS technology GmbH is engineered for precise drying and preservation in both laboratory and production settings. With a working principle based on contact or radiation drying under vacuum, this equipment is ideal for applications ranging from pharmaceutical active ingredients to preserved artifacts. Available in rectangular or round drying chamber configurations, the VTA-Series accommodates product floor spaces from 1 to 90m², supporting diverse throughput requirements. It integrates seamlessly into your production line with automated vacuum control and options for floor space customization and solvent capacitor configurations. Fabricated from corrosion-resistant stainless steel AISI 316L, it ensures durability and compliance with GMP and ATEX standards. The system also supports efficient sterilization (SIP) with steam or VHP, and includes a CIP option for ease of maintenance, making it a reliable and versatile choice for demanding production environments.
