Vacuum Tray Dryer Manufacturer in Zimbabwe

Mecha Engineering Pvt. Ltd. designs and fabricates vacuum tray dryers at its own works at Village Meharbani on Behat Road, Saharanpur, India. The company was set up in 2022 and supplies drying, extraction, filtration, blending and process equipment to pharmaceutical, herbal, chemical, food and cosmetic units in Zimbabwe, across India and in other export markets.

Standard models run at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 96 trays, and non-standard tray counts are built where a batch size falls between two models. Tell us the wet cake weight you want to dry in one batch and the thickness you can spread on a tray, and we work backwards to the tray count, shelf area and chamber size.

Two ways. Heat comes in by contact through the hollow shelves rather than by hot air blowing across the product, and the vacuum inside the chamber lowers the boiling point of the moisture so it leaves at a much lower temperature. Together they let a delicate herbal extract, oleoresin or pharmaceutical intermediate dry fully without the thermal degradation an air oven would cause.

The standard build uses SS 304 for the chamber interior, shelves and trays. SS 316 and SS 316L are used where the product or solvent is corrosive, or where a regulated audit requires it. Mill test certificates for every plate and pipe are issued in your company name and shipped with the dryer along with the GA drawing and test report.

If your cake is only water wet, a condenser is often skipped to save cost. If it carries ethanol, methanol, IPA, acetone or any other solvent, order the condenser, receiver, cooling coil and vacuum trap. It recovers the solvent as condensate, keeps vapour out of the vacuum pump and stops you venting solvent into the shed. On an imported solvent that recovery is worth real money.

Steam and hot water are the usual choice where a boiler is already on site. Thermic fluid is used where a higher shelf temperature is needed, and electric heating is offered on 6 and 12 tray models, which is what most laboratory and small batch buyers without a boiler choose. Tell us the utility you already have on the floor and we build the shelf circuit around it.

Yes. The vacuum pump and control panel are wired for a 415 V, 50 Hz three phase supply, which matches Zimbabwean site power. The standard water ring vacuum pump needs a water supply, so where water is scarce or expensive we quote a closed loop recirculation tank or an oil sealed pump instead. Tell us what you have and the utility list is sized against it at quotation stage.

Erection, utility tie-in, vacuum pump and condenser piping, the leak check, the first product batch and operator training at your Zimbabwe site are quoted inside the supply scope. Our engineers travel for commissioning and back your maintenance team afterwards with drawings, video support and a planned spares schedule.

Standard handover covers the general arrangement drawing, material of construction certificates, vacuum and leak test reports, weld and polish records, the operating and maintenance manual and a spare parts list. DQ, IQ and OQ protocols, along with a validation document set, are prepared on request for regulated and export buyers.

Standard 6 to 48 tray models are ready in 4 to 8 weeks from order confirmation. A 96 tray double door dryer or a fully automated unit takes 8 to 10 weeks. Allow a further 4 to 6 weeks for sea freight and inland haulage. Smaller models crate small enough to consolidate with other equipment in a shared container, which is worth planning if you are ordering more than one machine.

Call +91-9084351006 or +91-7500378000, send a WhatsApp message, or email info@mechaengg.com with four details: the product you are drying, the wet cake weight per batch, the solvent or moisture involved and the utility available on your floor. We quote ex works India and on a CIF Durban or CIF Beira basis, usually within one working day.
