High-efficiency dryers significantly reduce production and drying times, improve product quality, maximize product recovery and minimize environmental and worker exposure.
DDPS dryers feature unique vessel and agitator designs that meet the most stringent pharmaceutical specifications. Our easy-to-clean dryers are available for both dedicated and multi-purpose applications. In order to ensure proper selection of drying equipment and fully operating systems, we have a state-of-the-art test facility in Europe, as well as a US rental fleet for on-site customer testing.
Benefits
Versatile in process applications
High energy efficiency
Low operation and maintenance costs
Reduced batch time

The Spherical Dryer is a highly engineered and precision fabricated vacuum dryer designed to utilize heat input, effective mixing and vacuum for product drying.
It can be used for dedicated or multi-purpose applications and it provides the best in product quality, total discharge, cGMP production, cleanability and limited operator exposure.
The Spherical Dryer can be provided in two unique configurations - top driven or bottom driven - to meet your process needs.
The universal dryer features a high-speed, removable chopper that breaks up lumps of wet or dry agglomerates while providing additional mixing capability, shorter drying times with the highest possible fill volume.
The Universal Dryer is ideal for difficult drying processes that involve drying, mixing, milling, granulation, evaporation and/or crystallization. Since the product area is completely contained, this product is appropriate for pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemical applications.
Features
Horizontal construction with an integrated agitator/chopper system
Volumes from 50 to 8,000 liters
Heating surface areas from 1.2 to 29.6 m²
Hydraulic, encased drive for agitator and chopper ensures a consistently high torque
Hinged front door for quick and easy inspection
Advantages
Can be filled between 20-90% of total capacity and still retain optimal agitation, mixing and drying performance
Full area heating
Complete containment of product
Spray assembly on agitator enables gas/liquid introduction
Addition of fixed stator to agitator systems decreases particle size of product
Based on the well established and proven Filter/Dryer technology, agitated pan dryers are differentiated by their heated flat bottom plate that effectively enlarges the heating area of the vessel.
It is specifically designed for the batch drying of solids and uses a unique "vortex" mixing action for improved drying performance.
Features
Top or bottom entry-drive technology
Speed-controlled, heated agitator
Side discharge valve that enables simple emptying
Mechanical seal located outside of the product area
The axial motion of the agitator is sealed by metal bellows
Advantages
The minimal agitator to wall clearance keeps the wall free from product crust
The pan bottom can be easily lowered for fast cleaning (CIP/WIP and SIP) and inspection
Heated agitator design facilitates short drying times
Can handle a wide range of capacity with volumes from 100 to 7500 liters
The SR Series glass-lined steel rotary dryer/blender combines the drying and mixing function in one simple and stable device. The rotation of the double cone allows the product to be mixed and dried without an internal agitator.
The design is suited for processing easily flowing, corrosive products for drying, mixing or concentrating pharmaceuticals, dyes, pigments, synthetic resins, etc.
Features
Volumes from 100 to 7,220 liters (30 to 1,900 gallons) or 12.5 to 203 ft² of heating area
The rotary vacuum paddle dryer (RVPD) is a complete drying system used to obtain dry powder from wet cake or solutions. The drying operation is generally a batch process and is often carried out under vacuum. The product is heated through direct contact with the heated vessel and agitator surfaces. The heating of the dryer can be accomplished by use of steam or adequate heat transfer fluid.
In addition to standard batch drying applications, the paddle dryer can also be used for low temperature drying, reaction, crystallization, extraction of useful liquids and recovery of solvents.
Features
Stainless steel or Hastelloy construction
Designed as per ASME Pressure Vessel Code
25 to 60,000 liters capacity
Up to 200 Hp designs
The standard design of the paddle dryer system includes a dust filter, condenser, receiver and vacuum pump. Other features include:
Hollow shaft and paddles
Discharge Valve
Advantages
Versatile in process applications
High energy efficiency
Low operating costs compared to other types of dryers
Large heat transfer area available on paddles and shaft give maximum heat transfer rates
The scrapers have minimum calculated clearance from the shell to keep the shell clean and increase the heat transfer co-efficient
Optional pharmaceutical design provides GMP compliance and sterile operation
