Compact spray dryer boasts increased throughput
The Mobile Minor MM-100 spray dryer (photo) has a compact footprint, and is equipped with a new and highly efficient cyclone, dubbed the Cyclone Extra Efficiency (CEE). The CEE offers a higher separation efficiency than standard cyclones, over a range of particle sizes, air flows and powder loadings, which increases the yield and reduces emissions, according to the manufacturer. The Mobile Minor MM-100 can operate with process gas flowrates of up to 100 kg/h at an inlet temperature of 200°C, which, for many products, means a 30% increase in powder production compared to the previous version. Higher-capacity HEPA filters are available, and powder-collection glasses in sizes from 250 to 3,500 mL can be supplied as standard. — GEA Group AG, Düsseldorf, Germany
