The drying technology is exploited to dry the wet cakes coming from filtration and centrifuge in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. For this purpose the drying technology is always combined with the use of vacuum pumps, which allow the extraction of the vapours of solvents and the water contained in the products to be dried.
Italvacuum, private limited company founded in 1939, has a well-established experience and competence in the drying technology, having designed and manufactured vacuum dryers and industrial vacuum pumps since the beginning of its history.
The Italvacuum vacuum pumps, as well as in the vacuum drying processes, are also used in distillation, reaction and crystallization

Concerning the drying technology, Italvacuum manufactures both static and rotary dryers. The last ones can be both double cone and cylindrical.
The double cone vacuum dryers, called CRIOX System, represent the bottonhole of the Italvacuum drying technology. Equipped with electric lump-breaker groups in order to obtain fine powders, they have achieved a success with an international reach: more than 400 units installed from their introduction on the market up to date.
The vacuum dryers with a cylindrical shape, called TUMBLE Dryer, are designed mainly for drying processes, mixing and condensing operations in the manufacture of granulated plastic materials.
Italvacuum, apart from revamping the vacuum pumps line, has always devoted itself to enhance and expand its range of dryers: several devices for loading and unloading the CRIOX System and for washing automatically the tray dryers have been so developed in the course of time. Recently, the approach to innovation which has always characterized the Italvacuum drying technology has led to the launch of a brand-new vacuum dryer: the Planex System, a patented horizontal paddle vacuum dryer.
Thanks to the technical solutions adopted, among which the eccentric agitator with two independent movements for a double combined rotation, the Planex System today represents the most advanced drying technology available on the market, especially suitable for the production of API and fine chemicals.
Built in quality
Italvacuum has implemented an ISO 9001-certified Quality Management System that covers all aspects of the company’s work, from design and production of each individual component to customer service. In addition, given the importance of welding to end product quality, Italvacuum has certified its processes and personnel to ISO 3834-2.
Thanks to the continuous monitoring of the quality of the entire production cycle, all the Italvacuum vacuum dryers and vacuum pumps comply with the main CE, ATEX, PED European Directives and with the more and more strict FDA standards and cGMP rules.
Products range
The Italvacuum drying technology has allowed to develop a wide range of products, original and patented that includes:
Thanks to the know-how gained in the drying technology in more than 70 years, today Italvacuum is able to supply turnkey plants and to manufacture bespoke vacuum dryers, built according to the process specifications of the customer.
