Tall form dryer for producing large non-agglomerated particles

Achieve precise particle size control and optimal moisture removal with tall form dryers, designed for the continuous production of large spherical particles under gentle, low-pressure conditions.

Produces Large Spherical Powder Particles

The Anhydro Tall Form Dryer is engineered to meet the specific needs of large-scale powder production across diverse industries, from dairy to pharmaceuticals. Designed for precision, it utilizes low-pressure atomization, introducing drying air as a laminar flow to ensure gentle and uniform particle drying. Tall Form Dryers are particularly suited for applications that require the production of large, non-agglomerated powders, such as milk powder, protein supplements, and pharmaceutical ingredients.

With its robust design, it can handle continuous operation, optimizing processing capacity without sacrificing product quality. The drying system effectively reduces energy consumption by maintaining optimal residence time within its large cylindrical chamber, resulting in efficient moisture removal under controlled conditions. Integration into an existing production line is seamless, with options for further drying or cooling in an external fluid bed.

The equipment is built to withstand the rigors of industrial processing, with material options suitable for various chemical compatibilities. It complies with relevant industrial standards and offers customization in terms of chamber size and operational settings. Maintenance is streamlined with easy access interfaces, and comprehensive engineering support is available to tailor the system to specific production needs.
