Tall form dryer for producing large non-agglomerated particles

In many industrial drying processes, achieving large spherical particles without agglomeration poses a significant technical challenge. Ensuring uniform particle size and properly dried materials often requires specialized techniques and equipment.

Produce large non-agglomerated particles with precision

The Anhydro Tall Form Dryers, provided by SPX Flow, are designed to produce large spherical single, non-agglomerated particles efficiently. This type of dryer atomizes feed at a low-pressure co-current with the drying air introduced at the chamber top as a laminar flow. The chamber’s large cylindrical section allows for sufficient residence time, ensuring gentle drying conditions for large particles ranging from 300 to 800 microns. Most of the powder is discharged at the chamber bottom and can be further dried or cooled in an external fluid bed. Additionally, the drying air conveys fines to a separation system, and many tall form drying plants come with a bustle on the cylinder for the air outlet, which minimizes the dust fraction of the powder.

  • Gentle drying conditions preserving particle integrity
  • Discharges at the chamber bottom for further processing
  • Minimizes the dust fraction with air outlet bustle
  • Suitable particle size range of 300 - 800 microns
