When it comes to containment for different pharmaceutical applications, such as API, formulation, or standalone use, Isovax is the brand to choose.

We have discussed the VTD isolator that we recently made for a client in this blog.

The wet mass that is transferred from the ANFD, NF, or centrifuge is dried using vacuum tray dryers, or VTDs for short. 

The VTD’s technical accessories(the receiver, the condenser and the vacuum pump) are situated outside of the isolator. The only parts of the VTD that are positioned inside the Isolator to handle the dry product mass are the doors. Under vacuum, VTD extracts the moisture from the material being processed. These systems are made to adhere to legal and industrial standards, including cGMP (current good manufacturing practice) criteria.

The following are salient characteristics and features of isolators that are integrated with vacuum tray dryers:

1. Vacuum Drying: Materials that need low temperatures to be dried, are dried using vacuum tray dryers. These dryers lower the boiling point of liquids by working under vacuum, which enables gradual drying without exposing the liquid to a lot of heat.

2. Material Handling: Safe material loading and unloading is made possible by VTD with Isolators. In order to reduce operator touch with the processed materials, this may employ automated handling systems, glove ports, or pass-through chambers.

3. Controlled Environment: Using inert gases or HEPA-filtered air, containment isolaters keep the processing area’s atmosphere under control. The product quality and safety are guaranteed, and contamination is less likely in this regulated environment.

4. Automation and Monitoring: A lot of integrated systems provide automation tools for data logging, process management, and the monitoring of vital indicators like moisture, pressure, and temperature. The process’s uniformity and efficiency are improved by this automation.

5. Cleaning and Sterilisation: To preserve cleanliness and avoid cross-contamination between batches, these systems are made for simple cleaning and sterilisation procedures. They may incorporate CIP (clean-in-place) with the help of Spray gun and mopping.

These integrated systems are crucial pieces of equipment for sectors that demand high standards for worker safety and product quality because they provide a complete solution for handling, drying, and safeguarding delicate materials in a sterile and regulated environment.
