Swirl fluidizer for drying pastes and slurries
Industries that handle pastes, filter cakes, and highly viscous slurries often face the problem of converting these materials into fine, homogeneous dry powder efficiently and cost-effectively. Achieving this in a compact, single-step process presents a significant challenge.
Efficiently convert slurries into dry powder
The SWIRL FLUIDIZER® by GEA is an advanced drying solution designed to transform pastes, filter cakes, and highly viscous slurries into a fine, homogeneous, non-agglomerated dry powder in one streamlined process. With its unique vertical bottom-driven agitator, the SWIRL FLUIDIZER® homogenizes the viscous feed material before introducing it into a drying chamber through a controlled-speed horizontal auger. The air disperser with tangential inlet ensures optimal thermal efficiency, while the drying chamber is engineered for controlled retention times and uniform product output. The system’s patent-pending Dual Feed System is particularly beneficial for products with low solids content, such as silica and titanium dioxide, facilitating rapid evaporation and efficient drying. This system is applicable across the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
Benefits
- Single-step process for drying
- Suitable for low solids content materials
- Uniform and non-agglomerated powder production
- Optimized for thermal efficiency
- Applicable in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries
