Freeze Dryer / Lyophilizer
Mechotech engineers and manufactures the Freeze Dryer / Lyophilizer as turnkey process equipment for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and botanical processing lines that need to dry heat-sensitive materials without exposing them to elevated temperature. Each unit is designed around the client's specific process parameters and target output, then fabricated, installed, and commissioned by Mechotech as a single accountable scope.

Spray Dryer
Mechotech engineers and manufactures the Spray Dryer as turnkey process equipment for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and botanical processing lines that convert a liquid, slurry or concentrate feed directly into a dry powder in a single continuous pass. Atomizing the feed into a fine mist and contacting it with a large volume of hot air gives an enormous surface area for near-instantaneous moisture evaporation, so the actual product exposure to heat lasts only seconds — making spray drying a practical route to powder even for many heat-sensitive extracts.

ATFD – Agitated Thin Film Dryer
Mechotech engineers and manufactures the ATFD Agitated Thin Film Dryer as turnkey process equipment for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and botanical processing lines that need to dry viscous concentrates or slurries through to a solid or paste. Each unit is designed around the client's specific process parameters and target output, then fabricated, installed, and commissioned by Mechotech as a single accountable scope.

FBD – Fluidized Bed Dryer
Mechotech engineers and manufactures the FBD Fluidized Bed Dryer as turnkey process equipment for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and botanical processing lines that need fast, uniform drying of granular or particulate solids. Each unit is designed around the client's specific process parameters and target output, then fabricated, installed, and commissioned by Mechotech as a single accountable scope.

ANFD – Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer
Mechotech engineers and manufactures the ANFD Agitated Nutsche Filter Dryer as turnkey process equipment for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and botanical processing lines that need to filter and dry a solid within the same vessel. Each unit is designed around the client's specific process parameters and target output, then fabricated, installed, and commissioned by Mechotech as a single accountable scope.

RCVD – Rotary Cone Vacuum Dryer
Mechotech engineers and manufactures the RCVD Rotary Cone Vacuum Dryer as turnkey process equipment for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and botanical processing lines that need gentle, low-shear drying of solids, pastes and filter cakes under vacuum. A double-cone vessel rotates slowly end-over-end on a horizontal axis so the product continuously tumbles and folds over itself against the heated wall, giving even heat transfer with far less mechanical stress on friable or crystalline material than an internally agitated dryer.

RVPD – Rotary Vacuum Paddle Dryer
Mechotech engineers and manufactures the RVPD Rotary Vacuum Paddle Dryer as turnkey process equipment for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and botanical processing lines that need to dry pastes, wet cakes and sludges that would cake or bake onto a static heated surface. A horizontal, jacketed shell houses a shaft fitted with intermeshing paddles that continuously lift, fold and shear the product against the heated wall, breaking up lumps as they form so drying stays uniform from a wet, sticky feed through to a free-flowing dry powder.

VTD – Vacuum Tray Dryer
Mechotech engineers and manufactures the VTD Vacuum Tray Dryer as turnkey process equipment for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and botanical processing lines that need static, low-temperature drying of heat-sensitive, friable or explosive-dust solids. Material is spread on heated trays inside a sealed vacuum chamber and dried purely by conduction and reduced-pressure evaporation, with no agitation or mechanical disturbance at all, making it the standard choice wherever a product's physical form must be preserved through drying.

Vacuum Paddle Dryer
Mechotech engineers and manufactures the Vacuum Paddle Dryer as turnkey process equipment for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and botanical processing lines that need straightforward, single-shaft agitated drying of wet solids and pastes under vacuum. A single rotating paddle shaft inside a jacketed horizontal vessel keeps the product moving against the heated wall so it dries evenly at reduced temperature, offering a simpler, batch-oriented alternative to a dual intermeshing-paddle system for processors whose feed does not need the heaviest lump-breaking action.
