The agitator shaft is equipped with a double mechanical seal system, conceived to guarantee perfect vacuum tightness and absolute purity of the dried batch, avoiding any risk of product contamination. The mechanical seal can be pressurized through liquid or inert gas.

Finally the vacuum dryer system is safe for the product and the operators, because it is designed and manufactured in compliance with the increasingly strict safety standards and according to cGMP and Atex regulations.

Cleaning and Inspection

Easy internal cleaning is guaranteed by an efficient CIP system, that allows the washing of all the parts in contact with the product.

The frontal port lid and the easy disassembling of the agitator in different parts provide great accessibility for inspection and SWAB testing: no bulky equipment is required, thus preventing long machine stops.

The exterior of Cosmodry System is easy to clean as well. The watertight external cladding of the entire machine (cGMP “particle free” configuration) covers the insulation, the electric wiring and the hydraulic and pneumatic piping. In addition no support frame occupies the sterile room, only the drying chamber flanged to the wall. This makes external cleaning extremely easy, preventing product accumulation. These features, together with the partitioning solution, allow clean room installation, guaranteeing pressurization and separation of sterile room from technical room.
