Vacuum paddle dryer for active pharmaceutical ingredients
When dealing with Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), precise and efficient drying methods are essential. The need is to ensure compliance with cGMP and FDA standards while achieving consistent drying that is both energy-efficient and maintains the integrity of the API.
Ensures efficient drying and compliance
The Mavapad® by GMM Pfaudler is a versatile and energy-efficient vacuum paddle dryer designed for use with Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients and other pure chemistry applications. It offers a large heat transfer area on the vessel body and agitator, facilitating faster drying times. Unlike dryers with dished ends, its flat ends minimize heel volumes and improve emptying characteristics. The full door opening allows for easy cleaning and validation, ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory standards. Operating at lower costs compared to other dryers, Mavapad® comes with multiple base material options including stainless steel, Hastelloy, and special alloys. The design can be adapted for sterile or clean room environments with a stainless-steel partition wall. Additionally, GMM Pfaudler engineers provide support for optimizing and sizing the system to meet specific process requirements.
