Pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers dry APIs, intermediates, wet granules, excipients, herbal extracts, probiotics, and enzymes, along with solvent recovery residues and ETP sludge. Potency, crystal form, residual solvent and microbial viability all depend on the drying step. GEM offers rotary vacuum, freeze, fluid bed, sealed paddle and thin film dryers, with GMP-style hygienic construction in SS316 available for product-contact parts.
For pharmaceuticals & biotech, GEM dries 15 materials across 6 application areas. The dryers specified most often are the Rotary Vacuum Dryer, Combination Fluid Bed Dryer and Agitated Thin Film Dryer, chosen per material after a pilot trial.
The list below covers actives, granules, cultures, herbal inputs and the process residues of pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Each material page names the recommended dryer and the alternatives. The machines below are the ones specified most often across the 15 materials for this industry.
Rotary vacuum and freeze dryers remove water or solvent at reduced temperature, protecting heat-sensitive actives, cultures and enzymes from thermal damage.
Vacuum, paddle and thin film dryers run as closed systems with condensers, containing solvent vapour and potent dust while recovering solvent for reuse.
Product-contact parts can be built in SS316 with polished, cleanable surfaces in a GMP-style hygienic layout, specified to suit your own validation requirements.
We trial your material in our pilot facility before any equipment decision, then size the dryer from real data.
Describe it in the form, or message an engineer directly.
