Spray Drying Tower is a device used to transform liquid substances into powder. It sprays liquid materials into hot air in the form of fine particles through spray to dry them quickly in a few seconds, so as to obtain the required powder products.
The working principle of spray drying tower is based on spray drying technology. This technology expands the surface area of materials by spray liquid into very fine particles, thus accelerating the evaporation speed and drying process. Specifically, the spray drying tower mainly includes the following steps:
1. Raw material preparation: prepare liquid materials to be dried into materials suitable for spray through pretreatment equipment (such as mixer and agitator), and generally adjust viscosity, solubility, concentration and other characteristics.
2. spray operation: spray the liquid materials into the spray drying tower with fine granular spray through the high-pressure nozzle or rotary atomizer. Hot air is injected into the spray at the same time to make liquid materials contact with hot air immediately.
3. Drying process: when spray particles enter the hot air and are exposed to the high temperature environment instantly, their water evaporates into steam instantly, making the particles gradually reduce. The remaining solid substances quickly condense into powder and enter the bottom of the drying chamber with the flow of hot air.
4. Collection and separation: Gas containing powder particles is introduced into the separator from the bottom of the drying chamber, and solid particles are removed through a bag filter or centrifugal separator, while recovering as much solid powder as possible.
Through this process, the spray drying tower can quickly dry the liquid materials into fine powder, which has the following advantages: high efficiency, complete the drying process in a short time; Controllability, adjust processing parameters as needed; Widely applicable, it can be used for material conversion in fields such as food, medicine, cosmetics, pesticides, etc.
In a word, spray drying tower is a common industrial equipment. Through spray drying technology, liquid materials can be rapidly transformed into powder, which is widely used in drying and crushing processes in various fields.
Features: upper inlet air, upper exhaust air, wide tower body, primary coalescence of droplets and secondary coalescence of fine powder, and three-stage drying spray drying system with built-in fluidized bed and vibrating fluidized bed, high and low temperature auxiliary drying and cooling functions. It is also called low temperature drying tower in the international industry.
Equipment characteristics of upper exhaust drying tower:
The equipment is flexible, professionally designed and suitable for different products;
Gas distributor, fully controlling the flow and speed of air flow;
Pressure nozzle, fully controlling the direction of atomization flow;
Multiple spray guns for one-time polymerization, fine powder for two-time polymerization and granulation of mobile products;
Control the particle size and structure of the product particles to make the product more soluble.
Basic working principle: the hot air quickly intersects with the spray droplets under the protection of the annular wind curtain through the diversion hot air distributor, so that the droplets vaporize in 0.4 seconds. The pressure of the hot air makes the dried powder quickly blown into the built-in fluidized bed at the bottom. The low heat air blown into the built-in fluidized bed carries out the second auxiliary drying of the product, and then the product enters the three-stage vibrating fluidized bed for the third low-temperature auxiliary drying, And cool to the packaging temperature for temporary packaging. The fine powder recovered by the powder catcher can also be secondary agglomerated and granulated through the built-in fluidized bed at the top or bottom of the tower, so as to improve the instant solubility of the product.
The upper exhaust pressure spray drying tower can be widely applied to the spray drying of powdered products made from solutions, suspensions and other liquids containing dry matter, and can be used in many fields such as food, additives, biology, medicine, chemical industry and so on.
