OVERVIEW

Precise Drying with a Double-Cone Rotating Drum

The VD-R Series is a rotary vacuum dryer manufactured by Mechanimix. With capacities up to 9,000 liters, 11 kW motor power, and an operating temperature range of 25–150°C, the continuous rotation of the double-cone drum gently tumbles the material to prevent agglomeration and ensure homogeneous drying — the preferred choice for GMP-compliant production of heat- and oxygen-sensitive materials.

Double-Cone Rotating Drum

Gentle tumbling of materials prevents agglomeration; uniform drying guaranteed across the entire batch

High-Efficiency Vacuum

Moisture removal at low temperatures; drying of heat- or oxygen-sensitive substances without degradation

Low Energy Consumption

Efficient operation with minimal heat input under vacuum; optimized design that reduces total energy costs

CIP Compatible / GMP

Easy and automatic internal cleaning; full compliance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) hygiene standards

Automatic Operation

Integrated control panel with minimal operator intervention; automation that enhances reliability and safety

Compact Design

Space-saving construction; easy integration into existing production lines or cleanroom environments
