Vacuum Tray Dryer Technology

CakeStand TM – Vacuum Tray Dryer Technology The CakeStand™ Vacuum Tray Dryer has been carefully developed with efficiency, ergonomics and safety in mind. Designed to meet the process requirements necessary for drying sensitive or highly valuable products, it provides a scalable solution for use in laboratories, pilot plants, up to full size commercial production facilities. Vacuum tray drying is well-established in industries such as pharmaceuticals, ensuring sensitive materials are dried without inhibiting critical properties. Intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are typically...

CakeStand TM – Vacuum Tray Dryer Technology Direct Tray Heating Efficiently performs static drying by placing wet slurries or cake in trays that are placed on heated shelves within a vacuum oven chamber Heating uniformity across the heating shelves optimises homogeneity across product trays Low volume shelf design to reduce heating fluid requirements and increase energy efficiency Heating fluid flow control of shelves allows isolation of individual sections in case of batch size variation Enhanced Ergonomics Designed to reduce the opportunity for overreaching or accidental spillage Optimum tray...

CakeStand TM – Vacuum Tray Dryer Technology Integrated Solutions CakeStand™ Tray Dryers can be provided as stand-alone equipment for client/third-party integration or in combination with a PSL Software and Automation package. Different levels of control and automation can be supplied to add speed and flexibility to manufacturing processes. PSL can comply with major international practices and regulations for Software Automation, including GAMP5 (Good Automated Manufacturing Practice, version 5 by ISPE) and 21 CFR Part 11 established by the US FDA for electronic records and signatures. PSL Software...

CakeStand TM – Vacuum Tray Dryer Technology Containment-Ready Although the drying phase within a vacuum tray dryer requires no physical operator intervention, the loading and unloading of the product trays remains manual. If the product is potent/toxic or oxygen sensitive, as it is often the case within pharmaceutical applications with API or HPAPI, these steps need to be contained. Several containment measures can apply depending on the product classification. CakeStand™ Tray Dryers are versatile enough to be integrated with most of them. Stand-alone Within a downflow booth Benchtop versions...
