The Cantilever Type Rotary Vacuum Paddle Dryer (RVPD) is specially designed for pharmaceutical, chemical, and API industries, ensuring maximum product purity and minimal contamination. This GMP-compliant model features a cantilever design that eliminates the need for support on the non-drive end, allowing for complete side access—ideal for easy cleaning, maintenance, and inspection.
Engineered for efficient drying under vacuum, the RVPD offers uniform heat transfer through hollow paddles and a jacketed shell, ensuring gentle drying of heat-sensitive products like APIs, intermediates, and fine chemicals. The cantilever construction also reduces mechanical complexity, enhancing operational safety and reliability.
Key features include:
Contamination-free operation with a fully sealed vacuum system
Minimal product retention, ideal for batch processing
CE, ATEX, and cGMP compliant for global regulatory standards
Constructed in SS316L, Hastelloy C-22, or C-276 for corrosion resistance
Suitable for drying crystalline, amorphous, or paste-like materials
The Cantilever RVPD is a high-performance solution for companies seeking hygienic, energy-efficient, and maintenance-friendly drying equipment that meets the strict standards of the pharmaceutical industry.
