Vertical conical screw vacuum dryer manufactured by Hosokawa.The working capacity of this machine is 120 l. This is an Ideal machine to dry a product at low temperature if it is temperature sensitive or rapidly if time is paramount. The vacuum dryer is equipped with a condenser connected to a chiller (10 0C) and a jacket heater which could be heated to up to 160 0C. These type of machines with screw mixers are ideal to achieve a perfectly homogeneous mix of several ingredients because of their mode of action. The vessel could be used as a fermenter too. As far as we can ascertain, we are the only company which owns this type of vacuum dryer available to rent in the UK.


Vertical conical screw vacuum dryer manufactured by Alfred Bolz in Germany. This machine has the same applications as Hosokawa vacuum dryer but in smaller scale with working capacity of 15 litres.

These two vacuum dryers can do the following tasks.

·         Vacuum drying 

·         Chemical reactions 

·         Polymerisation   

·         Heating 

·         Sterilisation  

·         Liquid/solid separation and de-aeration 

·         Distillation

·         Solvent recovery system 

·         Mixing several solids/powders and obtain a homogenous mix 


If you need to shred metals, carboards, hard drives, plastics and even
biological waste and much more, there is a shredder at your disposal
in our unit. With its 8 mm screen, Untha shredder can break down
your product/waste into particles below 8 mm.


If you need to freeze down your product to cryogenic temperature there
is a liquid nitrogen tank in our facility.  There are O2 sensors in the premises to make sure there is enough oxygen to breath for safety reasons.


Our modest laboratory is equipped with a pH meter, temperature controlled
incubator, shaker, centrifuge (3000 rpm), mixer, vacuum pumps,
laboratory glassware, magnetic stirrer/heater and Shimadzu HPLC with
UV detector and paper integrator.
