Vertical vacuum dryer for heat sensitive products
Achieve optimal drying and mixing for your heat-sensitive and shear-sensitive products, ensuring high-quality yields with precise moisture and temperature control.
Dries and Mixes Heat-Sensitive Materials
The COMBER Condry® Series TDC 25-15000 by HEINKEL stands out as a conical vacuum dryer specifically designed to handle delicate heat-sensitive and structurally fragile materials. This equipment offers superior drying and mixing capabilities, controlled through its conical bottom design and close-clearance agitator, facilitating full product discharge with minimal residue.
Engineered for diverse applications, it is commonly utilized in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients, specialty chemicals, and various powder forms such as protein or metal powders. It ensures uniform mixing without lumps, maximizing the heat transfer surface for efficient drying cycles. The user-friendly PLC interface coupled with a touch-screen HMI provides seamless operation and integration into existing process lines.
Constructed using high-grade materials including stainless steels, nickel-based alloys like Hastelloy C 22, and titanium, it guarantees corrosion resistance and durability in harsh chemical environments. It also conforms to cGMP and FDA guidelines, making it suitable for sterile production settings.
The COMBER Condry® is equipped with a fully welded agitator design, avoiding crevices that complicate cleanup, and supports CIP systems for swift and thorough maintenance. Customization options are available to meet specific processing volumes and environmental classifications, ensuring compliance with industry-specific standards.
