For precise batch drying of powders, granules, and solid materials, shelf dryers offer a flexible, efficient solution. With more than 47 years of experience, IPP provides one of the world’s largest inventories of ready-to-ship process equipment. Our inventory spans 20 complete plant sites and includes over 15,000 pieces of equipment, ensuring that manufacturers can find the right used shelf dryer to meet their production needs while controlling costs.
Shelf dryers consist of multiple heated shelves within a sealed chamber, where product trays are placed directly on each shelf. Heat transfers from the shelves into the product, gently evaporating moisture. These dryers can operate under atmospheric or vacuum conditions, making them suitable for both routine drying and low-temperature drying of heat-sensitive materials. Shelf dryers are widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, fine chemicals processing, and specialty food production.
Shelf dryers are available in a variety of materials to meet specific process and regulatory requirements:
