Vacuum Tray Dryer

The Vacuum Tray Dryer is a highly efficient drying system used for drying heat-sensitive materials under vacuum, where the boiling point of liquids is significantly reduced. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, herbal, and food industries for drying hygroscopic, heat-sensitive, and thermolabile materials.

Working Principle

In a Vacuum Tray Dryer, heat is transferred to the product via conduction from heated trays. The vacuum lowers the pressure, reducing the boiling point of moisture. This allows drying at lower temperatures, preserving product integrity. Moisture is removed through the vacuum line, often connected to a condenser and vacuum pump.

Applications

  • Pharmaceuticals: API drying, bulk drugs, herbal extracts
  • Chemicals: Catalyst drying, intermediates, heat-sensitive compounds
  • Food & Nutraceuticals: Drying of fruits, herbal powders, vitamins
  • Cosmetics: Drying of active ingredients and powders

Features

  • Operates under vacuum – ideal for heat-sensitive products
  • Uniform drying due to heated shelves
  • Minimal product loss – closed system
  • GMP-compliant design with mirror-polished internal surfaces
  • Easy to clean, operate, and maintain
  • Available with automation and PLC-based control (optional)

Optional Features

  • CIP (Clean-In-Place) system
  • Explosion-proof design for solvents
  • SCADA/PLC integration
  • Thermal fluid heating system
