Vacuum Paddle Dryer
MAVAPAD®
The Vacuum Paddle Dryer is a versatile energy-efficient system used for drying Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) in compliance with cGMP and FDA guidelines, or for pure chemistry applications.
Mavapad® can be designed for use in sterile/clean room areas by providing a stainless-steel partition wall that separates the drive unit from the process area.
Engineers can assist in sizing and optimizing Mavapad® in order to meet your process requirements.
Key Characteristics and Advantages
