Planex - Multi Patented Horizontal Paddle Dryer
Planex System is a Vacuum Paddle Dryer designed to dry wet flowing powders from filtration and centrifugation processes Planex® System is ideal for the production of: Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), Fine chemicals and Intermediates.
Planex® System horizontal vacuum dryer designed and manufactured by Italvacuum introduces a real revolution in vacuum drying. The Planex® System is a multi-patented machine, which is guaranteeing results unthinkable until now with conventional systems, both horizontal and vertical, thanks to the special horizontal vacuum vacuum dryer with eccentric agitator with two independent movements, able to rotate simultaneously on its own axis and tangentially to the drying chamber.

DOUBLE COMBINED ROTATION
The eccentric agitator, rotating simultaneously on its own axis and tangentially to the cylindrical chamber, guarantees a better mixing of the whole product.
The reduced size of the agitator in relation to the diameter of the chamber, allows higher rotation speeds, with a lower energy consumption than conventional industrial dryers. This means less energy is dissipated in the form of friction.
TOTAL PRODUCT DISCHARGE: HOLD UP FREE
The Planex® System`s horizontal dryer management software allows you to adjust the movement of the agitator, which oscillates while remaining immersed in the product.
A solution, which allows high loading flexibility and maximum efficiency for treatment of small batches. For total product unloading, Hold up Free
ZERO FRICTION®
The ZeroFriction® planetary motion of the agitator also prevents the heating effect due to the product rubbing against the surface of the drying chamber.
The tangential approach of the blades to the surface of the chamber conveys the product into the smallest possible gap between them and prevents the formation of agglomerates.
The result is even more effective drying and a controlled final grain size, which is impossible to achieve with conventional dryers.
MULTI-PRODUCT DRYER
The Planex® system can be used with the widest possible range of products, both crystalline and amorphous in structure, thanks to the agitator movement with the "Stop & Swing" programme, which drastically reduces the time needed to retool the line, wash, clean and inspect the plant before changing processes in complete safety for operators, the environment and the product.
