Low Temperature High Concentration of Liquids The evaporators have several stages in order to minimise energy consumption. Falling film evaporation is widely applied for evaporation of low-viscosity products in the dairy, food & beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Evaporation tests are carried out to establish maximum concentration, boiling point elevation, heat transfer coefficients and optimal boiling temperatures for each individual product. Evaporation takes place under Dairy products Fruit juices Plant extracts Blood plasma A wide variety of pharmaceutical products Many other...

Spray Drying Conical and Flat Bottom Spray Dryers Correct atomisation and air distribution are the keys to the spray drying process, as both greatly influence the final powder structure and quality. Often, spray dryers are equipped with high-speed centrifugal atomisers ensuring sturdy and reliable operation. High-Pressure nozzle atomisation is used especially for products where a rather coarse powder with narrow particle distribution and high bulk density is required. The liquid is dried, collected and delivered for further treatment without any intermediate manual handling. The spray drying...

Spray Bed Dryers Spray Bed Dryers Spray bed dryers are designed to combine spray drying and fluid bed agglomeration in one process to dry and agglomerate heat-sensitive materials in a wide range of applications under hygienic conditions and in an energy-efficient manner. The result is uniform, non-dusty powders with consistent powder quality. The system combines a conventional conical spray drying plant with fluid bed technology. Improvements of powder quality as well as reduction in operating costs compared to standard spray drying plants are the most important benefits of spray bed technology....

Fluid Bed Dryers Fluid Bed Dryers SPX's fluid beds are used in the pharmaceutical, dairy, food and chemical industries for processing most types of powdered products, using intimate air-to-product contact. Our fluid beds are designed to ensure good heat transfer coefficients and to avoid degradation reactions in heat-sensitive products. Processing is performed in a single step or as part of a multistage drying operation. Fluid bed processes consist of agglomeration, drying, cooling, coating and de-dusting. Fluid bed tests are made to establish fluidisation rates and residence time in order to...

Spin Flash Dryers Spin Flash Dryers Spin Flash® Dryers are designed for continuous drying of cohesive and non-cohesive pastes and filler cakes as well as high-viscosity liquids. The main components are a feed system, the patented drying chamber and a bag filler. The important parameters are solids content in the feed material, drying temperatures, and air velocity. These parameters are determined by the nature of the product and the desired powder density, moisture content, particle size, etc. Typical air inlet temperatures are between 150 and 700°C, while outlet temperatures are determined by...
