8 Basket Tumble Dryer
Providing Speed and Efficiency in the Gelcap Drying Process
GIC Engineering has developed the two most efficient, GMP designed, FDA validated tumble pre-dryers in the industry. Using the rotary basket, fluidized bed action of drying, our 5 and 8 Basket Pre-Dryers can dry capsules up to 20% w/w for even the highest output machines.
- Frame is 304 stainless steel welded elements with 304 stainless steel sheet metal skin
- GMP designed, FDA validated
- Shaft driven rotary basket design - no belts, chains or grease contamination
- Basket design - stainless steel construction, lightweight, easy to remove and clean. Empty weight of each basket is 10 kg
- High output centrifugal blower for increased air circulation and moisture removal
- Automatic product transfer doors with manual override - FIFO method
- Easy adjustable softgel dwell time in the baskets
- Designed for temperature sensitive softgels for drying with no thermal degradation due to rapid absorption of the latent heat of vaporization
- PID controlled air temperature
- Optional stand alone PLC, operator interface panel
- Capable of reducing capsule shell moisture content up to 20% w/w water
- Optional variable speed blowers and tumble motors
- Optional variable temperature adjustment for each basket
