The Planex system is a new concept multi product dryer, developed for vacuum drying of wet powders obtained from centrifuge or filter press. It is especially suitable for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients, fine chemicals and intermediates. Planex System consists of a fixed cylindrical chamber with an eccentric agitator inside with two independent movements, able to rotate on its own axis and tangentially to the cylindrical chamber as well. The double combined rotation allows an optimal mixing of the product, continuously renewing the surface of the mass exposed to evaporation, covering all the volume of the vessel. In this way the release of solvents´ vapours is facilitated and drying times are significantly reduced compared to conventional systems. The peculiar configuration of the agitator, characterised by a diameter much smaller than the one of the drying chamber, and the double rotation not only allow the continuous revo- lution of the product but also limit the mechanical and thermal stress, preventing local overheating due to friction (friction free system).
Planex System is absolutely safe for the personnel, the environment and the product, being designed and manufactured in compliance with the ever more severe cGMP and Atex rules.
