Vertical ribbon vacuum dryer for thermosensitive products

Achieve optimal drying of thermo-sensitive materials like powders, slurries, and crystalline products with precise control, ensuring high product quality and maximum efficiency in moisture removal.

Dries and Mixes Thermo-Sensitive Products Efficiently

The Supradry Vertical Ribbon Vacuum Dryer from Bachiller is tailored to enhance efficiency in drying thermo-sensitive materials across fine chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. It features a heated vertical mixing spiral with cantilever design, ensuring thorough mixing and drying under ultra vacuum conditions, maintaining vacuum levels below 1 mbar. This equipment is suitable for batch-wise operations with capacities ranging from 50 to 30,000 liters, and it ensures maximum product recovery with easy cleaning and full discharge design. The Supradry is equipped with options like heated shafts, choppers for lump breaking, and CIP-SIP systems, making it versatile for diverse product needs including APIs, food preparations, and resins. Constructed with mirror-polished surfaces compliant with cGMP and FDA, it offers operational temperatures up to 200º C and meets ASME VIII div.1, AD-2000, EN-13445 design standards. Available customization leaves room for adaptations such as ATEX certifications for explosive environments and configurations for seamless integration into your cleanroom operations.
