As the demand for high-performance drying solutions grows across the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and fine chemical industries, Powder Systems Limited (PSL) has enhanced its CakeStand™ vacuum tray dryer to provide a modular, scalable solution for evolving manufacturing challenges.
Designed for R&D laboratories, pilot plants, and full-scale production, CakeStand™ addresses process inefficiencies, regulatory complexities, and sustainability goals while ensuring precision, containment, and efficiency for high-value compounds such as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), high-potency APIs (HPAPIs), biologics, and fine chemicals.
Optimising Vacuum Drying for Modern Manufacturing
In an industry where product quality, batch consistency, and safety are paramount, CakeStand™ sets a new standard for vacuum tray drying. With its modular design, manufacturers can scale operations seamlessly without significant infrastructure investment.
The system features direct heating shelves for uniform drying, reducing batch variability and ensuring consistent product quality. Its containment-ready capabilities support the safe handling of high-potency and hazardous materials, safeguarding both operators and product integrity.
Designed for Compliance and Sustainability
With increasing cGMP, ATEX, FDA CFR 21 Part 11 regulatory requirements, CakeStand™ has been developed to ensure full compliance, streamlining validation processes and global approvals.
Sustainability is also a key focus, with PSL integrating low-energy drying technology to help manufacturers reduce carbon footprints and operational costs while maintaining process efficiency.
Enhanced Cleaning and Containment-Ready
For multi-product manufacturing environments, fast turnaround and rigorous cleaning validation are essential. CakeStand™ incorporates wash-in-place (WIP) technology, smooth surfaces, and full drainability, simplifying decontamination, preventing cross-contamination, and minimising downtime between production runs.
A Future-Ready Drying Solution
“PSL has always been committed to developing high-performance process solutions,” said Amanda Gowans, CEO of PSL. “CakeStand™ delivers advanced drying technology that meets the stringent demands of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and fine chemical manufacturers while supporting scalability, containment, and sustainability.”
With its precision engineering, modular flexibility, and energy-efficient operation, CakeStand™ is redefining the future of vacuum tray drying.
