The VD-R Series combines continuous rotation of a double-cone drum with high vacuum to achieve efficient moisture removal at low temperatures. Designed for precise and homogeneous drying of heat- or oxygen-sensitive materials, the fully enclosed system ensures process safety and product purity.
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.
Gentle tumbling of materials prevents agglomeration; uniform drying guaranteed across the entire batch
Moisture removal at low temperatures; drying of heat- or oxygen-sensitive substances without degradation
Efficient operation with minimal heat input under vacuum; optimized design that reduces total energy costs
Easy and automatic internal cleaning; full compliance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) hygiene standards
Integrated control panel with minimal operator intervention; automation that enhances reliability and safety
Space-saving construction; easy integration into existing production lines or cleanroom environments
Efficiently dries active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and excipients while preserving potency and purity; GMP-compliant production
Safe drying of compounds that degrade at high temperatures or upon contact with oxygen; solvent removal
Moisture removal from fine powders, extracts and nutrients while preserving taste and aroma
Color stability preservation in sensitive pigments and colorants by preventing oxidation
Gentle drying of bio-derived or sensitive materials under mild conditions while preserving structure and functionality
Vacuum moisture removal from polymer granules and powder metal materials; particle size control
