Dust-free granulation system for non-heat sensitive liquid feeds
Transform liquid feeds into dust-free, free-flowing granules efficiently, ensuring high-density output suitable for demanding production environments.

Produces Dust-Free Granules from Liquid Feeds
The SPRAY FLUIDIZER™ from GEA is a sophisticated solution that integrates both spray drying and fluid bed technologies to produce dust-free, high-strength granules from non-heat sensitive liquid feeds. This equipment is essential for chemical producers and ceramic manufacturers aiming for superior product handling and environmental compliance. It utilizes nozzles to atomize feed into a fluidized bed, where particle layering and drying occur continuously. Common applications include the production of ceramic proppants, ammonium sulfate, and various organic salts and acids. The system supports continuous operations and is capable of efficiently handling high throughput with a plug-flow fluid bed for final drying and cooling. Integration into existing production lines is seamless thanks to its PLC-controlled operations and modular design, which allows easy customization. Constructed from durable materials, the SPRAY FLUIDIZER™ ensures longevity and resistance to corrosive substances. With options for recycling oversized particles and fines, it maximizes material use and minimizes waste.
