Vacuum Drying

More than just industrial chemicals
By building partnerships with our customers, Plater Chemicals helps them take advantage of our sourcing expertise, the latest chemical innovations and supply chain integration to provide tailored solutions.
Vacuum Drying is the process of removing water from either a solution or slurry under vacuum to produce a solid. Because the process takes place under vacuum conditions the temperature required to remove the water is well below 100°C (the normal boiling point of water) and so many heat sensitive materials can be concentrated and a solid produced using this technique. At Plater Production, we have 3 commercial scale Vacuum Driers available and these are backed up by a pilot plant facility where we can run customer trials to see if this is the right method for your product.
