APT-5.0+ Spray dryer – Nutra / Pharma line
APT 5.0+ Spray dryer – Nutra / Pharma line - a compact equipment with an increased evaporation capacity developed specifically for small productions or scale-up activities.
Evaporative capacity max.: 8 kg/h (distilled water)
Max. inlet temperature: 300 °C
Heating capacity: 17.5 kW
Fan capacity max.: 210 m³/h
Accepted nozzle: Two-fluids 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 / Pharma 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, 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 a liquid form. An inlet container (not included in the scope of supply), ensures a constant suction of raw material and consequent transfer into the heating tower.
- Dust collector - Located between the cyclone separator and the HEPA filtration system (if present HEPA filtration). It is used to recover the ultrafine particles not selected by the cyclone separator. The pressure inside is continuously monitored by the PLC.
Options:
- Closed loop for organic solvent processing
- Spray congealing setup
- CIP (clean-in-place)
- Extra dust filters
- Platform scale
- Heavy-duty peristaltic pump
- Flameless venting device
- Active flame isolation systems
Highly customizable and adjustable according to customer's specifications.
