The MobileMinor Basic spray dryer (photo) is said to meet all the basic requirements of laboratories, especially those in small companies and universities, and other laboratories that don’t need many of the options available for the advanced MobileMinor models. The MobileMinor Basic meets all health and safety requirements, including dust explosion hazard (class ST1), and is easy to operate. The system is suitable for laboratories that need only basic facilities for drying food and chemical products. It is supplied with a push-button control panel and either a rotary atomizer or a co-current two-fluid nozzle for atomization. A single-point powder discharge makes product collection easy, and the standard cyclone secures an efficient product recovery. A cartridge filter is available (optional) for cleaning the exhaust gas to reduce emissions to a minimum. — GEA Niro A/S, Søborg, Denmark
