Vertical conical dryer for pharmaceutical ingredients
In the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring that Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are dried efficiently and in compliance with strict regulations is crucial. Traditional drying methods often struggle to meet these high standards while optimizing energy consumption and minimizing operational costs.
Efficiently dry Apis with cgmp and Fda compliance
The Vertical Conical Dryer (VCD) from GMM Pfaudler is an energy-efficient system specifically designed for drying Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) while adhering to cGMP and FDA guidelines. It effectively uses both static and dynamic heat transfer areas to ensure efficient drying. Its vertical installation and bottom discharge design result in lower heel volumes, facilitating better emptying characteristics. The VCD can handle a wide range of filling capacities, allowing for a good turndown ratio. Additionally, its compact design results in a lower footprint and reduced operating and maintenance costs when compared to other drying systems. Optional accessories include a lump breaker, sampling system, condenser, receiver, and vacuum pump. Available in materials such as stainless steel, hastelloy, and special alloys, the VCD is also suitable for sterile/cleanroom areas through in-floor installation that isolates the drive unit from the process area.
