About the Vacuum Tray Dryer

A Vacuum Tray Dryer (VTD) operates by removing moisture from materials under reduced pressure — lowering the boiling point of water or solvents and enabling efficient drying at significantly lower temperatures than conventional atmospheric dryers. Material is spread on trays placed on multi-tier heated shelves within a hermetically sealed chamber, and a vacuum pump evacuates the system before drying commences.

Unlike rotating vacuum dryers, the VTD is a static process — there is no agitation, meaning absolutely no dusting, particle attrition or loss of fine material. Our VTD units are supplied complete with a hot water heating arrangement, solvent extraction condenser system and a single integrated control panel — as shown in the product photograph — making them a complete, ready-to-install drying solution.

Key Applications

Core Advantages

Zero Particle Loss
Static process — no agitation, no dusting, no loss of fine or coated particles during the drying cycle.
Complete Solvent Recovery
Integrated condenser captures evaporated solvents — reduces operating cost and ensures environmental compliance.
Uniform Shelf Heating
Multi-tier shelves heated by hot water, steam or oil provide even heat distribution across all trays simultaneously.
Hermetic Containment
Fully sealed chamber protects the product from external contamination and the operator from hazardous vapours.
Single Control Panel
Complete system — dryer, vacuum system, heating arrangement and solvent condenser — operated from one panel.
Versatile Heating Options
Heated by hot water, steam or thermal oil — compatible with existing site utilities.
