Bag filter for food and dairy spray dryers
In spray drying processes, maintaining particle purity and consistent air quality is crucial. Traditional bag filters often require frequent maintenance and exhibit high wear, causing production downtime.

Improves reliability and maintenance for spray dryers
The GEA SANICIP® II bag filter offers significant upgrades over traditional systems. Designed specifically for food and dairy spray dryers, this system enhances operational reliability and reduces total cost of ownership. The filter features an advanced dedusting system with redesigned super-sonic nozzles and valves, which maintain consistent pressure loss and extend cleaning intervals. The shorter filter bags and lighter one-piece cages minimize mechanical wear, leading to up to 50% longer service life. Additionally, the compact design facilitates easier maintenance and allows for a more adaptable plant layout. GEA’s Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) studies have optimized airflow and mechanical components to improve performance. Ideal for use in food and dairy industries, the SANICIP® II bag filter provides extended cleaning intervals and reduced maintenance costs, contributing to higher yearly production.
