COMBER Turbodry® - Series TD 0.8/1.1 - TD 40/60 The Turbodry agitated vacuum pan dryer has proven to be excellent for the drying of sensitive, pasty and other “diffcult” products that pass through a highly viscous stage during the drying process. The dryers have proven to be particularly suited for the drying of heat sensitive products as well as products with fragile crystal structure and thus sensitive to shear forces. Excellent product discharge and shortest cycle times. Special properties for the customer’s benefit: In compliance with cGMP and FDA guidelines, also in aseptic/ steam sterilizable versions Shortest possible drying times, suitable for the drying of sensitive, pasty, sticky and other “diffcult” products such as those turning highly viscous during the drying process Simultaneous axial and radial agitator movements permit uniform mixing of the entire product mass, without the formation of lumps or balls Double mechanical seal, dry running contacting or...

COMBER Condry® - Series TDC 25 - TDC 15000 The Condry conical bottom agitated vacuum dryer was developed to process a wide variety of products. The machines have proven to be particularly suited for the drying of heat sensitive products as well as products with fragile crystal structure and thus sensitive to shear forces. The conical bottom allows for full product discharge characteristics. Special properties for the customer’s benefit: In compliance with cGMP and FDA guidelines, also in aseptic/ steam sterilizable versions Excellent product discharge performance with negligible product hold-up due to the conical vessel bottom, very close agitator to wall/bottom clearances and a unique agitator design The agitator permits uniform mixing of the entire product mass, without the formation of lumps or balls The surface area for heat transfer is maximized for optimum performance and cycle times Agitator supported by the top head, with the seal in contact with the vapors only Entirely...

COMBER Pharmadry® - Series PH 50 - PH 4000 The Pharmadry vacuum paddle dryer with short drying times is well suited for the drying of freely flowing, sensitive pharmaceutical ingredients and fine chemicals.
