SZG Series Double Cone Rotary Vacuum Dryer

High‑Performance Rotary Vacuum Dryer for Heat‑Sensitive Materials

The  SZG Series Double Cone Rotary Vacuum Dryer is a cutting‑edge drying solution designed for the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. By combining gentle tumbling action with a high‑vacuum environment, this industrial vacuum drying machine effectively removes moisture and solvents from heat‑sensitive, oxidizable, or toxic materials without degrading product quality.

What is a Rotary Vacuum Dryer?

A Rotary Vacuum Dryer is a batch‑processing machine consisting of a jacketed, double‑conical vessel that rotates slowly. Under a vacuum state, the jacket is filled with a heating medium (steam, hot water, or thermal oil). The heat is transferred to the material through the inner shell while the continuous rotation ensures uniform mixing and drying. This design prevents material contamination and meets GMP standards, making it ideal for sterile and sensitive applications.

Key Features & Advantages

Low‑Temperature Drying: Operates at temperatures from 20°C to 160°C, perfect for heat‑sensitive biochemical and pharmaceutical products.

Solvent Recovery System: Equipped with a condenser and receiver, the system allows for efficient recovery of volatile solvents, reducing waste and operational costs.

High Thermal Efficiency: The indirect heating method achieves thermal efficiency more than twice that of ordinary drying ovens.

GMP‑Compliant Design: All contact parts can be made of AISI 316/316L stainless steel, ensuring a non‑contaminated, sanitary drying process.

Reduced Oxidation Risk: The vacuum environment prevents oxidation and degradation of sensitive materials.

Automatic Operation: Options for PLC control and HMI touch screens allow for precise, automated process management.

How Does a Rotary Vacuum Dryer Work?

The working principle of the double cone rotary vacuum dryer follows a simple yet effective cycle:

Heating: Heating medium circulates through the jacket surrounding the vessel.

Tumbling Action: The vessel rotates at a low speed (typically 4‑6 RPM), continuously mixing the material.

Vacuum Evaporation: The vacuum pump reduces the internal pressure, lowering the boiling point of moisture or solvents.

Drying & Recovery: Moisture evaporates and is pumped out, while solvents are condensed and recovered in a separate receiver tank.
