SPRAY DRYING Spray drying starts with the atomization of a liquid feedstock into a spray of droplets. The droplets make contact with hot air in a drying chamber, evaporate and form particles. P10 FLUID BED DRYING AND PROCESSING Fluid bed drying achieves uniform processing conditions by passing a gas through a product layer under controlled velocity conditions to create a fluidized state. Wet material is dispersed into a stream of heated air or other gas which conveys it through a drying duct where high heat and mass transfer rates rapidly dry the product. P22 ROTARY DRYING AND PROCESSING Rotary...
