Continuous drying for cohesive and non-cohesive pastes
In the industrial sector, drying high-viscosity liquids or filter cakes efficiently while minimizing energy use can be challenging. Traditional drying methods aren’t always effective for cohesive and non-cohesive pastes, leading to longer drying times and higher operational costs.
Achieve efficient drying with controlled particle size
The Spin Flash Dryer from SPX Flow, Anhydro brand, offers a highly efficient solution for continuous drying of cohesive and non-cohesive pastes, as well as high-viscosity liquids. This dryer is designed around a feed system, a patented drying chamber, and a bag filter. The feed system buffers and fragments product with an agitator, ensuring a smooth feed to the dryer. The drying chamber features a rotor at its conical base, creating a hot air flow pattern that efficiently evaporates moisture from the product. Classifiers at the top of the chamber ensure only fine particles pass through, while larger particles undergo further drying. The high-velocity air inlet design prevents product build-up and enables a faster drying process. Operational capacities range from 1 kg/h to 40 tons/h, making it suitable for various scales, including pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. The system is also available in FDA and cGMP compliant configurations.
