Featuring a spiral or dual-axis agitator that continuously moves the material to prevent surface build-up and product scorching, the VD-M Series delivers efficient low-temperature drying and homogeneous mixing under vacuum. The jacketed design, heated by steam, thermal oil or hot water, ensures precise temperature control.
The VD-M Series is a mixer-type vacuum dryer manufactured by Mechanimix. With capacities up to 15,000 liters, 90 kW motor power and a 25–150°C temperature range, it features a spiral or dual-axis agitator that continuously moves the material for efficient low-temperature drying under vacuum. It is preferred in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries for processing heat-sensitive materials.
Continuously moves the material to prevent surface build-up and product scorching; ensures uniform drying throughout the entire batch
Jacket heated by steam, thermal oil or hot water; efficient heat transfer without direct product contact and no risk of scorching
Boiling point is reduced under vacuum for precise drying at 25–150°C; prevents degradation of heat-sensitive products
Oxygen exposure is minimized in a closed vacuum environment; color, aroma and potency are preserved
Automatic clean-in-place minimizes production downtime; hygienic design compliant with GMP standards
Optional internal sterilization; meets the strict hygiene requirements of pharmaceutical and food sectors
Drying and homogenization of heat-sensitive active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients; preserving potency and purity
Solvent removal and blending of specialty and fine chemicals; safe drying of reactive or sensitive compounds
Gentle drying of flavors, extracts and nutritional powders; preserving taste, aroma and nutritional value
Vacuum moisture removal from polymer granules and plastic raw materials; optimizing product quality and processability
Drying of biologically derived sensitive materials under mild conditions while preserving structure and functionality
Homogeneous drying of ceramic powders and pigments; color stability and particle size control
