Vacuum Tray Dryer Technology

CakeStand TM – Vacuum Tray Dryer Technology The CakeStand™ Vacuum Tray Dryer has been carefully developed with efficiency, ergonomics and safety in mind. Designed to meet the process requirements necessary for drying sensitive or highly valuable products, it provides a scalable solution for use in laboratories, pilot plants, up to full size commercial production facilities. Vacuum tray drying is well-established in industries such as pharmaceuticals, ensuring sensitive materials are dried without inhibiting critical properties. Intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are...

CakeStand TM – Vacuum Tray Dryer Technology Direct Tray Heating Efficiently performs static drying by placing wet slurries or cake in trays that are placed on heated shelves within a vacuum oven chamber Heating uniformity across the heating shelves optimises homogeneity across product trays Low volume shelf design to reduce heating fluid requirements and increase energy efficiency Heating fluid flow control of shelves allows isolation of individual sections in case of batch size variation Enhanced Ergonomics Designed to reduce the opportunity for overreaching or accidental spillage Optimum...

CakeStand TM – Vacuum Tray Dryer Technology Containment-Ready Although the drying phase within a vacuum tray dryer requires no physical operator intervention, the loading and unloading of the product trays remains manual. If the product is potent/toxic or oxygen sensitive, as it is often the case within pharmaceutical applications with API or HPAPI, these steps need to be contained. Several containment measures can apply depending on the product classification. CakeStand™ Tray Dryers are versatile enough to be integrated with most of them. Stand-alone Within a downflow booth Benchtop...
