Spray Dryer for Materials Processing
Advanced materials processing utilizes Spray drying to produce powders directly from pumpable feeds. Spray drying involves the atomization of feed materials to a spray of droplets which are contacted with hot air in a drying chamber. Sprays are produced by an atomizer. Evaporation of moisture from the droplets and formation of dried particles proceeds under controlled temperature and air flow conditions in a continuous operation. Powder properties such as moisture content, particle size, bulk density can be specified. The Niro Spray Dryer at IMP has three modes of contact, co-current, counter-current and mixed flow. The sprays are produced by a rotary (wheel) atomizer or nozzle atomizer. GEA Niro A/S web site |
