Description

The spray drying consists of transforming a concentrated fog in a chamber where the droplets thus formed solution with a diameter ranging from 50 to 200 microns, are entrained by a stream of hot air which dried. To atomize the liquid, it can be passed through a spray nozzle or a rotating disc. The dried product finally falls to the bottom of the device where it is discharged. The drying time does not exceed a few seconds , to avoid overheating while smaller the larger are not yet dry particles , it is necessary that the diameter of the droplets is as uniform as possible. The drying air typically enters at a temperature of 200^oC and exits at a temperature from 90 to 100^oC. The fine particles are then separated from the final product through the cyclone separator and are expelled with moist air to the filter.

Application(s)

Drying of liquid.
