Rotocon Vacuum Dryer (RCVD)
Rotocon Vacuum Dryers (RCVDs) are a specialized type of drying equipment designed for the pharmaceutical industry. They are particularly suitable for drying heat-sensitive materials and for applications that require rapid drying and the removal of volatile solvents. They combine the advantages of a vacuum dryer with a rotating drum, providing a unique and effective drying process.
Choosing the Right RCVD:
The selection of an RCVD depends on several factors, including:
- Material properties: The physical and chemical properties of the materials to be dried will influence the choice of dryer.
- Drying requirements: The desired moisture content, drying time, and solvent removal efficiency will determine the dryer’s design and operating parameters.
- Throughput: The required production rate will influence the dryer’s capacity.
- Vacuum pump selection: The appropriate vacuum pump must be chosen to achieve the desired vacuum level.
