APT-5.0 Spray dryer – Nutra line
APT-5.0 Spray dryer – Nutra line - a compact equipment with an increased evaporation developed specifically for small productions or scale-up activities.
Evaporative capacity max.: 5 kg/h (distilled water)
Max. inlet temperature: 300 °C
Heating capacity: 11 kW
Fan capacity max.: 210 m³/h
Accepted nozzle: Two-fluid and / or rotary atomizer
Weight: 800 kg (depending on options)
Filters: Antistatic polyester needlefelt microporous PTFE or antistatic polyester fabric scoured
The APT-5.0 Spray dryer – Nutra line is equipped with a precise humidity monitoring system embedded in the software. All parameters are controlled and monitored via the touchscreen HMI, which is mounted on board next to the spray tower. This feature enables end users to record real-time drying performance and seamlessly develop DoE models.
Features:
- Air heater: Effectively raises the temperature of the drying medium, preparing it for its role in evaporating the solvent from the atomized feed in the spray dryer.
- Drying tower: Entirely made of AISI316L, this is where the liquid is mixed with heated air or nitrogen and is atomized while solvents are evaporated.
- Cyclone separator: Ensures that the dried product is efficiently separated and collected, minimizing product loss and ensuring cleaner exhaust air.
- Nozzle atomizer: Designed to convert a liquid feed into fine droplets.
- Product inlet: A mix-blend, solution, or suspension in liquid form. An inlet container (not included in the scope of supply) ensures constant suction of raw material and subsequent transfer into the heating tower.
- Dust collector: Located between the cyclone separator and the HEPA filtration system (if present). It is used to recover ultrafine particles not captured by the cyclone separator. The pressure inside is continuously monitored by the PLC.
Upon request, the inlet can be customized to adapt to different source containers.
Options:
- Closed loop for organic solvent processing
- Spray congealing setup
- CIP (clean-in-place)
- Extra dust filters
- Heavy-duty peristaltic pump
- Flameless venting device
- Active flame isolation systems
