Versatile Batch Vacuum Drying & Solvent Recovery for Industrial Solids
The Buflovak Vacuum Pan Dryer is a highly adaptable batch vacuum drying system engineered to process wet slurries, filter cakes, pastes, and sludge into dry solids under controlled vacuum conditions. This versatile dryer can combine multiple process steps, including vacuum drying, solvent recovery, distillation under reflux, and inert-environment cooling, in one unit without exposing product to atmosphere, preserving quality and maximizing yield. Ideal for chemical, pharmaceutical, food ingredient, environmental, and specialty solids applications.
Key Features & Benefits
- Multi-function operation: Batch vacuum drying, cooling under inert atmosphere, distillation under reflux, and solvent recovery can all be performed in one unit for process efficiency.
- Uniform agitation: Internal rotating agitator mixes and circulates material to shorten processing time and improve product uniformity.
- Customizable design: Built to meet specific material, vacuum, and throughput requirements with ASME/PED code compliance.
- Wide capacity range: Engineered from small lab sizes (~39 gal) up to large production capacities (~585 gal) to match your batch needs.
- Reliable discharge: Pneumatically operated side discharge door allows fast, complete product removal after drying.
- Solvent handling: Vacuum operation preserves quality and enables safe condensation and recovery of solvents for reuse.
