Clean purge system for spray dryers
Enhance safety and efficiency by preventing fire risks in spray dryers while improving product recovery and minimizing downtime, ensuring consistent operations in demanding 24/7 production environments.
Reduces Fire Risks and Enhances Yield
The GEA Clean Purge system from GEA is designed to enhance safety and efficiency in food and dairy spray drying operations. By purging and atomizing residual feed from nozzle lances, it significantly reduces the risk of fires and explosions—a common challenge in spray dryers. This system facilitates seamless 24/7 operations by preventing feed residue buildup and ensuring continuous atomization, thereby enhancing yield. Applications include the production of milk powder, nutritional formulas, and various dairy-based powders. The system can be easily retrofitted to existing setups and offers automation for minimal downtime. It is engineered for more efficient cleaning cycles, reducing the consumption of water and chemicals, thus also decreasing wastewater disposal costs. Customizable to your operational needs, the GEA Clean Purge system is poised to ensure maximum safety and efficacy across large-scale dairy and food production lines.
