Vacuum Dryer

Despite the development of more sophisticated drying methods in the pharmaceutical industry, vacuum tray dryer technology continues to be a critical method for processes and products that are delicate or fragile when exposed to mechanical forces.

For optimal drying conditions and uniformity, our CakeStand™ vacuum tray dryer technology utilizes direct heating shelves and a fully sealed vacuum chamber.

PSL tray dryers may be utilized in clean rooms, downflow booths, or in conjunction with PSL containment isolators. CakeStand™ has also been equipped with a variety of design features to ensure the protection of the product and facilitate its use.

A Comprehensive Solution

PSL’s CakeStand™ Tray Dryers are designed to meet the most stringent batch processing requirements by combining a vacuum chamber with direct heated shelves. This combination ensures that the drying uniformity is critical to a consistent high-quality end-product, with a validated uniform heating of +/-1°C across the shelves.cGMP Design

Our Cakestand™ Tray Dryers were initially developed for the pharmaceutical industry and are equipped with features that are in accordance with cGMP.
