Rotary Cone Vacuum Dryer (RCVD)

A rotating cone vessel under vacuum that dries and gently blends in the same step.

IMAGE PLACEHOLDERRotary Cone Vacuum Dryer (RCVD) — product photo to be supplied

The RCVD rotates a cone-shaped, jacketed vessel under vacuum, so the product is tumbled while it dries. This combined drying-and-mixing action suits heat-sensitive powders that benefit from gentle agitation rather than sitting static on a shelf.

Designed with cGMP and xGMP principles in mind

Construction practices are intended to align with commonly accepted xGMP expectations for pharmaceutical process equipment — crevice-free welding, cleanable surfaces and appropriate contact-part finishing. TCS does not issue regulatory certification; compliance of installed equipment within a specific facility is subject to the customer's own validation and regulatory process. Subject to process requirement.

How is an RCVD different from a Vacuum Tray Dryer?

An RCVD rotates the entire vessel to mix the product while drying, whereas a Vacuum Tray Dryer dries static trays on heated shelves. RCVD suits products that benefit from continuous gentle agitation.

Can it handle solvent-wet cake?

Yes, subject to solvent compatibility and hazardous-area requirements being confirmed at order stage.

What capacities are available?

Gross volumes are engineered to the customer's batch size; a representative model is shown above. Subject to process requirement.
