The TURBODRY® series is manufactured by Comber Process Technology, and is a vacuum vertical pan dryer that is intended for a broad range of products, which includes the difficult and heat sensitive. It also has a very easy cleaning and inspection capability, which has a high efficiency and versatile with short drying times of the unit.
The unit has a minimum product hold-up after discharging, which has an easy operation and validation. It has a very efficient and even mixing of the entire product mass, which has a high possible heat exchange rate. It also has an agitator that is integrated with vertical movement, which permits the agitation of the total product volume.
The Turbodry agitated vacuum pan dryer has proven to be excellent for the drying of sensitive, pasty and other “diffcult” products that pass through a highly viscous stage during the drying process. The dryers have proven to be particularly suited for the drying of heat sensitive products as well as products with fragile crystal structure and thus sensitive to shear forces. Excellent product discharge and shortest cycle times.
Special properties for the customer’s benefit:
• In compliance with cGMP and FDA guidelines, also in aseptic/ steam sterilizable versions
• Shortest possible drying times, suitable for the drying of sensitive, pasty, sticky and other “diffcult” products such as those turning highly viscous during the drying process
• Simultaneous axial and radial agitator movements permit uniform mixing of the entire product mass, without the formation of lumps or balls
• Double mechanical seal, dry running contacting or non-contacting lift-off or liquid lubricated, externally interchangeable
