Vacuum static dryer with pantograph door: advanced automation for safety and efficiency

02/03/2026 · · by Italvacuum
Designing a vacuum drying system operating at elevated process temperatures requires solutions that place safety, control and reliability at the forefront. This requirement led to the recent project developed by Italvacuum for a major Swedish pharmaceutical company.

The implemented solution consists of a model E2,2S vacuum static dryer configured with a pantograph door, a technical choice that proves crucial under particularly demanding operating conditions. This system enables controlled and safe door opening and movement, significantly reducing operator exposure to heat and minimizing risks during loading and unloading operations.

Safety at the core of the project

The application is characterized by elevated process temperatures and critical operating conditions. The adoption of the pantograph door increases the level of safety, improving ergonomics and ensuring more protected handling of operational phases.
The system is also compliant with ATEX, PED and CE directives, ensuring adherence to the highest European standards in terms of safety and quality.

Advanced automation for maximum efficiency

A distinctive element of this project is the integration of a robotic system for the automatic insertion and removal of product trays. This solution allows to:
 
  • reduce manual intervention,
  • increase process repeatability,
  • improve production efficiency,
  • further limit risks for the operator.
Automation therefore ensures greater process control and operational continuity, key factors in the pharmaceutical sector.

Custom-made: a tailor-made solution

The dryer has been manufactured in a special size, fully customized to meet the client’s production requirements. Italvacuum’s ability to develop custom-made solutions, adapting dimensions, configurations and automation levels, represents one of the main factors in the selection of the technology partner.

This project confirms the integration of engineering expertise, safety focus and technological innovation in delivering high-performance solutions for complex pharmaceutical applications.
