Shelf dryers are vacuum drying systems designed for delicate, heat-sensitive products that require uniform moisture removal without thermal degradation. These units dry materials in trays placed on heated shelves within a vacuum chamber. For over 47 years, IPP has provided shelf dryers and other thermal equipment from 20 complete plant sites, all supported by an inventory of over 15,000 ready-to-ship systems. These dryers are especially valued in pharmaceutical, food and fine chemical operations.
Shelf dryers rely on conduction heating via shelves that are often heated with circulating fluid or steam. Vacuum pressure lowers the boiling point of moisture or solvents, enabling gentle, controlled drying that protects product integrity.
Shelf dryers must be sanitary, corrosion-resistant, and maintain vacuum integrity:
