Production of Non-dusty Granular Products
The demand for dry products in granular form is increasing. Two of the main reasons for this are that granules are non-dusty and easy to handle, thus enabling the ever stricter environmental requirements to be met.
Many products can be obtained in granular form from a solution, suspension, or a melt in a single process stage by spraying the solid containing liquid into a fluidized layer of granules.
Niro Atomizer have applied its extensive know-how from the closely related drying techniques of spray drying, and fluidized bed drying to the development of a continuous process for producing granular, i.e. the Niro Atomizer SPRAY FLUIDIZER™.
Process Advantages
The major advantages of granular material production in the continuous Niro Atomizer SPRAY FLUIDIZER™ can be summarized as follows:
Combined drying and granulation in a single stage operation.
Constant product qualities, such as particle size distribution, bulk density, moisture content, assured by automatic control.
Non-dusty products fulfilling the increasing demands against environmental pollution when further handled.
Ease of storage and handling. Hence costs can often be reduced.
High thermal efficiency can be achieved; specific heat consumption as low as 700 kcal/kg evaporated water.
Low process supervision costs as process can be fully automated.
Low space requirements, due to a compact design, thus minimizing civil engineering costs.
