Pilot Spray Dryer
Pilot Spray Dryer
A pilot spray dryer is a small-scale spray drying system used for research and development (R&D) purposes. It acts as an intermediate step between laboratory-scale experiments and full-scale industrial production
What it does
- Converts liquid to powder : A pilot spray dryer atomizes a liquid feed (solution, suspension, emulsion, or slurry) into fine droplets. These droplets are then introduced into a hot gas stream (usually air or an inert gas like nitrogen), which rapidly evaporates the moisture, leaving behind dry powder particles.
- Process optimization : It allows researchers and engineers to test formulations, establish optimal drying parameters (like inlet and outlet temperatures, feed rate, airflow, and atomization pressure), and identify potential issues before investing in larger, more expensive production units.
- Scalability : It provides a seamless transition from lab experiments to large-scale production, enabling confident scaling up of operations.
Key Features and Benefits
- Versatility : Can handle a wide range of materials, including heat-sensitive products, and is used across various industries.
- Precise control : Equipped with advanced control systems for accurate monitoring and control of drying parameters.
- Efficiency :Maximizes drying efficiency and minimizes waste, often incorporating heat recovery systems
- Cost-effective : Reduces the risk of costly errors in large-scale production by allowing for early testing and optimization.
- Variety of atomization options : Can employ rotary atomizers, pressure nozzles, or two-fluid nozzles depending on the product requirements.
- Customization : Manufacturers often offer customizable options to meet specific process and product needs.
