Small scale spin flash dryers for high-viscosity liquids

Optimize moisture control with cutting-edge spin flash dryers designed for efficient drying of high-viscosity liquids, cohesive and non-cohesive pastes, and sludges, ensuring product consistency and quality across diverse applications.

Dries and Dehydrates High-Viscosity Materials

The SFD 47 and SFD 51 from Anhydro are designed for precise and efficient drying of complex mixtures including cohesive pastes, sludges, and high-viscosity liquids. Utilizing a spin flash drying process, these units ensure continuous operation that suits both large testing and small-scale production environments. They excel in processing a wide range of applications such as dairy powders, personal care products, and plant-based foods, delivering optimal results in end-products like tomato paste, milk powder, and vitamin supplements. With a maximum water evaporation rate of 120 kg/h, the SFD models offer significant throughput capabilities, integrated into your production line with its PLC-controlled system. The inclusion of an indirect gas heater enhances energy efficiency while the option of stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance. Delivered as a complete unit with full documentation, these dryers ensure easy installation and maintenance, meeting the needs of sectors from pharmaceutical to food processing.
