Vacuum Band Dryers are popular in many industries including food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, chemical and specialties.
What is a Vacuum Band Dryer?
A Vacuum Band Dryer is an industrial dryer which works on vacuum principle. Material is spread in thin layer form on a moving conveyor belt and it goes through a number of heated zones within a vacuum chamber.
Due to lower pressure conditions, the boiling point of water and other volatile materials gets lowered and hence removal of moisture takes place without heating up the material to very high temperature. After completing the process, dried material can be collected and processed further as per the requirement.
This type of dryer is useful for materials which might be affected due to normal heating.

Benefits of Vacuum Band Drying
Vacuum Band Dryers can lead to various benefits in industrial drying operations.
Soft Drying Process
Due to vacuum principles, products will dry under less temperature and hence is applicable in cases of heat sensitive materials.
Improved Product Quality
Drying process will preserve the quality aspects of the products such as color, taste and odor.
Continuous Operation
In contrast to many batch drying techniques, vacuum band drying technique can facilitate continuous processing.
Achieving Desired Levels of Moisture
Parameters of the process can be adjusted to get the desired final moisture level.
Efficient Drying Process
Combination of vacuum, heating and thin layer drying helps remove moisture efficiently.
Choosing a Vacuum Band Dryer can provide several advantages for industrial drying applications.
Applications of Vacuum Band Dryer
A Vacuum Band Dryer can be utilized in many applications and industries and these include:
• Food ingredients
• Concentrates from fruits and vegetables
• Extracts from plants
• Extracts from herbs
• Nutraceutical ingredients
• Pharmaceutical preparations
• Dairy ingredients
• Sensitive heat powders
• Liquid and semi-liquid formulations
The final design of the system will depend upon product properties, percentage of moisture content, viscosity, drying temperature and production volume.
How Does a Vacuum Band Dryer Work?
Initially, the product is fed into the drying equipment, where it is evenly dispersed on the moving belt. Within the vacuum chamber, the product is exposed to heat while the vacuum pressure allows for the evaporation of moisture.
As the belt passes through various drying chambers, moisture is continuously being eliminated from the product. The drying conditions, including temperature, vacuum, and belt speed, can be set according to the specific requirements of the process.
Once the appropriate moisture content is achieved, the dried product is taken out of the equipment.
