Spray Dryer
Descriptions
Spray drying is the technology most widely used in the liquid
technology shaping and in the drying industry.The drying technology is
most suitable for producing solid powder or particle products from
liquid materials,such as:solution, emulsion, suspension and pumpable
paste states,For this reason,when the particle size and distribution of
the final products, residual water contents, mass density and the
particle shape must meet the precise standard, spray drying is one of
the most desired technologies.
Principle
After been filtered and heated the air enters into the air distrbutor
on the top of the dryer.The hot air enters into the drying room in the
spiral form and uniformly. Passing through the high-speed centrifugal
sprayer on the top of the tower,the material liquid will rotate and be
sprayed into the extremely fine mist liquid beads.Throug the very short
time of contacting the heat air,the materials can be dried into the
final products.The final products will be discharged continuously from
the bottom of the drying tower and from the cyclones. The waste gas
will be discharged from blower.
Features
The drying speed is high when the material liquid is atomized,the
surface area of the material will increase greatly.In the hot-air
flow,95%-98% of water can be evaporated at a moment.The time of
completing the drying is only several seconds. This is especially
suitable for drying the heat sensitive materials.
Its final products own the good uniformity, flow ability &
solubility. And the final products are high in purity and good in
quality.
The producition procedures are simple and the operation and control are
easy.The liquid with moisture contents of 40-60%(for special
materials,the contents might be up to 90%).can be dried into the powder
or particle products once a time. After the drying process, there is no
need for smashing and sorting,so as to reduce the operation procedures
in the production and to enhance the product purity.The product
particle diameters,looseness and water contents can be adjusted through
changing the operation condition within a certain range. It is very
convenient to carry out control and managment.
