Ultra-fine powder flash drying system
Achieve rapid moisture removal and particle refinement with this integrated system, designed to efficiently process everything from slurries to fine powders in your continuous production line.
Dries, Mills, and Classifies Moisture-Rich Materials
The DMR Flash Mill Dryer from Hosokawa Micron is a versatile drying system specially designed for efficiently processing moisture-rich bulk solids. It integrates drying, de-agglomeration, milling, and classifying in a single unit, using a high-speed dispersion rotor to fluidize and reduce particle size with controlled hot air. This technology is ideal for industries such as animal feed, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, producing end-products like whey protein isolate and paracetamol powder.
This continuous drying system processes slurries, pastes, and wet powders into ultra-fine particles, ensuring high-quality outputs. Offering substantial energy savings, it consumes up to 40% less energy per kilogram of evaporated water compared to traditional dryers. The compact design requires 50% less space, making it an excellent choice for operations with limited footprints.
Available in multiple configurations, the DMR Flash Mill Dryer supports both open and closed systems, with customizable rotor options to suit specific material handling and particle size requirements. It meets stringent industry standards for safety and hygiene, featuring easy access for maintenance and an optional CIP system for efficient cleaning. Additionally, Hosokawa Micron offers engineering support to tailor the machine to your specific processing needs.
