Reliable scale-up Production development under consideration of industrial factors “All-in-one process” (mixing, granulation, drying, cooling) Intense mixing prevents temperature and moisture gradients within the product Short drying times through intense product movement and effective application of thermal energy Gentle thermal treatment at low temperatures using a strong vacuum Cost-efficient solvent recovery The design of the laboratory vacuum shovel dryer DRUVATHERM® offers users a universal machine with regard to ergonomics, machine technology and process engineering options. The system provides reliable scale-up to production scales in the context of product and process development and can likewise be used for small batch production. The laboratory dryer is suitable for drying suspensions, pastes, bulk goods and powders. The Lödige laboratory vacuum shovel dryer DRUVATHERM® is a horizontal, batch vacuum dryer with a frequency-controlled mixing tool. This mixer consisting of mixing elements adapted to the process and arranged on a shaft according to a specific system - is installed in a cylindrical mixing drum equipped with a temperature control jacket. Rotation of the mixing unit generates a three-dimensional product movement, in which all of the product is constantly in motion. The contact frequency of particles with the heat exchange surface (heated wall of the device) generated by this mechanically generated fluid bed leads to shorter drying times.
