VACUUM SHELF DRYER

Vacuum shelf dryers are extensively used for effective, efficient drying of Pharmaceuticals, Food and Chemical Products. They are very useful in temperature sensitive, easily oxidized material, toxic material, valuable solvents, dusty material and hygroscopic material.
The heating arrangement - Each shelf is connected by an individual flanged connection to a central manifold through which hot water or steam can be passed. The heating medium is passed around the shelves in a zig zag manner to facilitate uniform heating. It also has an arrangement for hot water circulation around the body of the dryer.
Heat is transferred to the wet material by conduction through the shelf and bottom of the tray and by radiation from the shelf above. Vacuum shelf dryers are indirect-heated batch dryers. Vacuum is applied to the chamber and vapor is removed through a large pipe. Vacuum trap is provided to stop the product from escaping outside. They are reinforced with flats all over to withstand full vacuum.
