Vacuum pan dryer for heat-sensitive pasty products
When dealing with highly viscous, heat-sensitive products, efficient moisture removal and uniform mixing become critical to maintaining product integrity and quality.
Efficiently Dries and Mixes Sensitive Products
The COMBER Turbodry® Series TD 0.8/1.1 – TD 40/60 from HEINKEL is an agitated vacuum pan dryer designed to address the drying challenges faced by pharmaceutical, chemical, and food product manufacturers. It uses simultaneous axial and radial agitator movements to ensure uniform mixing without clumping, catering to sensitive, pasty, and highly viscous products. Suitable for applications ranging from active pharmaceutical ingredients to fine metal powders, this dryer operates under batch or continuous processes, offering volumes from 100 to 6,000 liters and operating between -10 to 150°C. Engineered with stainless steels and Hastelloy for corrosion resistance, it complies with cGMP and FDA standards, and features a double mechanical seal for reliable operation. The PLC-controlled system with HMI facilitates seamless integration into existing lines, while options such as CIP systems and dust filters enhance maintenance and operation.
