The Significance of Drying Thermosensitive Substances in the Pharmaceutical Industry

In the pharmaceutical industry, the drying of thermosensitive substances is a critical step. These substances are highly sensitive to temperature changes. Excessive heat can lead to chemical degradation, loss of potency, and changes in the physical properties of the drugs, which directly impacts the quality and efficacy of pharmaceutical products. For example, certain antibiotics and biological agents can lose up to 30% of their activity if not dried under appropriate conditions. Therefore, finding a reliable and efficient drying method is of utmost importance.

Features and Advantages of High-Performance Digital Vacuum Drying Ovens

Vacuum Condition Design

The high-performance digital vacuum drying oven is designed based on vacuum conditions. Under vacuum, the boiling point of water is significantly reduced, which allows for drying at lower temperatures. This is particularly beneficial for thermosensitive substances as it minimizes the risk of thermal damage. For instance, in a vacuum environment, water can evaporate at temperatures as low as 30°C, compared to 100°C at normal atmospheric pressure.

Four-Wall Heating Technology

The oven utilizes four-wall heating technology. This ensures that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the drying chamber. As a result, the materials inside the oven are uniformly heated, eliminating the problem of uneven drying. Studies have shown that this technology can reduce the drying time by up to 40% compared to traditional single-sided heating methods.

Intelligent PID Temperature Control

Equipped with intelligent PID temperature control, the drying oven can precisely regulate the temperature. It can maintain the set temperature within an accuracy of ±0.5°C. This high level of temperature precision ensures that the drying process is carried out under optimal conditions, protecting the integrity of the samples and guaranteeing the quality of the final products.

Specific Application Cases and Achievements in the Pharmaceutical Industry

A well - known pharmaceutical company was facing challenges in drying a new type of thermosensitive vaccine. The traditional drying methods were causing a significant loss of vaccine activity. After adopting our high - performance digital vacuum drying oven, they were able to reduce the drying temperature from 60°C to 40°C. As a result, the activity loss of the vaccine was reduced from 25% to less than 5%. Moreover, the drying time was shortened from 10 hours to 6 hours, greatly improving the production efficiency.

Another case involves a research institution working on a new drug development. They needed to dry some delicate herbal extracts. The vacuum drying oven provided a stable and gentle drying environment. The extracts retained more than 90% of their active ingredients, which was a significant improvement compared to previous drying methods.
