Milling flash dryer for fine powder processing

Achieve precise moisture control and prevent agglomeration in your processing line with this advanced milling flash dryer, perfect for producing consistent fine powders from slurries, cakes, and filter residues.

Dries and De-agglomerates Powders and Slurries

The Milling Flash Dryer from Crown Iron Works efficiently dries and de-agglomerates powders and slurries, addressing challenges faced by oilseed processors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and biofuel producers. Utilizing low-pressure jets of hot air, it offers simultaneous drying and milling, preventing agglomerate formation and refining particle size for finer end-products. Ideal for producing isolated soy protein, CBD oil, and ethanol biofuel, this equipment enables continuous, high-speed operation with short residence times—even for temperature-sensitive products. The design includes a static classifier to minimize product size, and energy efficiency is achieved through advanced drying systems with customizable heat sources. Compatible with various materials, the Milling Flash Dryer offers integration into existing production lines with optional PLC control.

Benefits

  • Enhances product quality with fine particle distribution without additional milling.
  • Increases operational efficiency with simultaneous drying and milling processes.
  • Reduces energy usage through optimized, custom-engineered drying systems.
  • Minimizes installation costs with a compact footprint that conserves floor space.
