Komline Komline-Sanderson Rotary Atomizer Model 900

A dependable approach to atomization and spray drying Komline-Sanderson’s variable-speed Rotary Atomizers represent a dependable approach to atomization and spray drying. The compact, rugged, direct-drive, high-speed motor, utilizing only a few parts in one rotating assembly (no gear, pulley, gearbox or coupling), reduces the need for traditional mechanical maintenance. High quality, oil-mist lubricated precision bearings (ABEC-7), of ceramic-ball design, provide maximum reliability for flue gas desulfurization or spray drying applications. System Features All systems are provided with an atomizer control panel/lubrication stand, housed in a NEMA-4 (IP66 equiv.) enclosure, and designed for location adjacent to the operating atomizer. The panel permits control of the oil mist generation system for the lubrication of the atomizer bearings, and flow control for the cooling water to the atomizer stator. The panel also includes all start/stop controls and monitoring functions, including an optional PLC-based atomizer control and system monitoring capability. K-S Rotary Atomizers feature a variable frequency drive (VFD), using the state-of-the-art pulse width modulation principle for generating a high frequency power supply. The VFD is in a NEMA-1 (IP20) or NEMA-12 (IP55 equiv.) enclosure, intended for location in a remote electrical equipment room area. Benefits The atomizer assembly is designed to fit easily into a hot air plenum, providing intimate mixing between the atomized feed material and the hot drying air. Unique “direct drive” atomizer unit mounts the atomizer wheel directly on rigid shaft of high speed motor, allowing the unit to operate below the first critical speed, thereby minimizing the risk of excessive vibration (operates below its first critical speed). Use of a variable frequency drive (VFD) allows easy adjustment of atomizer speed to optimize process performance and product characteristics. Atomizer design and material of construction make it suitable for use both in “traditional” chemical spray dryer plants and in corrosive flue gas spray absorption processes. Compact size of units (compared to gearbox designs) allows for easier manual handling during removal, inspection, cleaning, reinstallation, etc. Option of multiple atomizer configuration for larger capacity plants (three atomizers per spray dryer) allows the removal of one unit for inspection/service without process interruptions. Local Atomizer Control Panel (included) provides for both local and remote control and monitoring functions.
