Equilateral Solutions manufactures Stainless Steel Vacuum Tray Dryers (VTD) for controlled drying of food products under vacuum conditions. Designed with hygienic, GMP-oriented construction, our vacuum tray dryers are suitable for heat-sensitive materials that require controlled temperatures and efficient moisture removal.
Available in 12, 24, 48, 96, and 144-tray configurations, our vacuum tray dryers can be customized according to batch capacity, product characteristics, and process requirements.
Key Features
1. SS304 / SS316 / SS316L Construction
Product-contact components and trays can be manufactured from SS304, SS316, or SS316L stainless steel with smooth, hygienically finished surfaces. The vacuum-rated chamber is designed for convenient access, cleaning, and maintenance.
2. Controlled Vacuum Drying
Drying under reduced pressure enables moisture removal at comparatively lower temperatures than conventional atmospheric drying. Operating temperature, vacuum level, and drying time are selected according to product properties and the required final moisture content.
3. Heated Shelves & Trays
Stainless steel heated shelves provide indirect, controlled heat transfer to the product trays. Hot water, steam, or thermal fluid can be used as the heating medium, depending on the application.
4. Vacuum System
The vacuum tray dryer can be integrated with a suitably selected vacuum pump, condenser, condensate receiver, moisture separator, and vacuum-break arrangement to meet specific process requirements.
Instrumentation & Automation
Optional RTD temperature sensors, vacuum gauges or transmitters, and PLC-HMI controls can be incorporated to monitor and control drying temperature, vacuum level, and process cycles.
Applications
Our stainless steel vacuum tray dryers are suitable for controlled drying of:
- Food powders and granules
- Food pastes and concentrates
- Food extracts and ingredients
- Nutraceutical ingredients
- Heat-sensitive food products
- Other compatible materials requiring vacuum drying
