Pilot Scale Spray Dryer

Process Description

  1. VG2911 pilot spray dryer has been introduced to meet the still increasing demand for a more flexible, modern and easy-to-handle laboratory dryer having different levels of control systems. The sanitary design, the easy access to all internal surfaces and the range of available options for optimising the configuration will be appreciated by all users
  2. The liquid RN-Con feed is atomized by a two-fluid nozzle co-current or, alternatively, by an centrifugal atomizer.
  3. The drying gas is heated by means of electricity, and enters the chamber via a specially LS- Adv designed gas distributor.
  4. The drying chamber has a conical bottom with a 60゜cone angle. The chamber is provided with WD door, light and sight glass.
  5. The plant is delivered with an PLC including necessary control and instrumentation.
  6. Materials of Construction
    • The plant will be delivered in sanitary execution according to Food hygiene standards. All metallic parts in contact with the process, product or gasses are made in stainless steel AISI 304.
    • External surfaces and weldings are polished to Ra < 1.2 µm.
    • Internal weldings in product contact parts (drying chamber, powder duct, cyclone, powder container, gas duct to bag filter) have smooth surfaces, max. Ra0.8µm. Sand blasting technology on the outer surface.
    • Other internal weldings are ground flush to parent sheet grit 120.
    • Stainless steel cladding is made in AISI 304.

Product Features

1
Pilot scale spray dryers have a higher capacity compared to laboratory scale models, allowing for larger batches and longer production runs. This increased capacity enables researchers and process engineers to conduct trials at a scale closer to commercial production.
2
Pilot scale spray dryers can handle a wide range of liquid feedstocks, including solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and slurries. They are equipped with pumps, feed tanks, and feed systems capable of handling larger volumes of feedstock.
3
Pilot scale spray dryers offer multiple atomization options, including rotary atomization, pressure nozzle atomization, and two-fluid nozzle atomization. This versatility allows researchers to explore different atomization techniques and optimize drying parameters for various applications.
4
These spray dryers feature adjustable process parameters such as inlet temperature, outlet temperature, feed rate, atomization pressure, and airflow rate. Researchers can optimize these parameters to achieve the desired particle size, morphology, and powder properties.
5
Pilot scale spray dryers maintain controlled drying conditions to ensure uniform drying and minimize the degradation of heat-sensitive materials. They feature precise control of temperature, humidity, and airflow throughout the drying chamber
6
.Pilot scale spray dryers are equipped with product collection and recovery systems to collect the dried powder after atomization and drying. These systems may include cyclone separators, bag filters, or electrostatic precipitators to remove fine particles from the exhaust air.
