i. Vacuum Low-Temperature Spray dryer

This type of low-temperature spray drying machine works on the principle of water vaporization in a substance.

It functions under reduced atmospheric pressure with a minimum inlet air temperature of 50 degrees Celsius.

This makes it suitable for thermally sensitive materials.

The drying equipment is particularly ideal for spray drying high fat, high viscosity, and high sugar materials.

It can efficiently retain the consistency and stability of the batch of products.

ii. Non-vacuum Low-Temperature Spray Dryers

A low-temperature spray dryer of this type employs direct heat during the spray drying of products.

Here, Hot air comes in contact with the product you are drying.

The convection process transfers heat to a substance, which eventually converts it into powder.

Most non-vacuum low-temperature spray dryers have a minimum temperature of inlet air of 105 degrees Celsius.

What are the Advantages of a Low-Temperature Spray dryer?

Some of the benefits of a low-temperature spray drying machine consist of:

 Parts of spray drying machine

 Parts of spray drying machine

1) System Control Panel

Controlling most low-temperature spray drying machines is through Programmable Logic Control (PLC) systems.

You can configure all the variables of the low-temperature spray drying machine via the touch screen panel of the PLC system.

2) Drying Chamber

The drying chamber is the key part of any type of spray drying machine.

It consists of a hot air supply system, supply fan, heater, filter, and air dispenser.

3) Feed Supply System

The components making the feed supply system comprise of a feed tank, heater, pump, and feed line.

4) Atomizer Or Spray Nozzle

Atomizer helps in optimizing the process of evaporation transforming the liquid into small droplets.

It is as well instrumental in developing an end product having desirable properties.

There are different designs of spray nozzles depending on the amount of energy used for creating the droplets.

The nozzles short drying time by increasing surface area to accelerate evaporation.

5) Product Recovery System

This part comprises the cyclone, bag filter, and wet scrubber.

It is in this component of the low-temperature spray dryer where you separate the formed granules from the hot air.

The mixture (hot air and powder) inlet shape and dimension and number of cyclones influence the effectiveness of powder separation.

Powder and air blend inlets into the cyclonic system have a wrap-around and tangential shape.

The design of wrap-around inlets enhances the entered air amount and eventually increase air velocity and system efficiency.

Moreover, the cyclones number relies on the rate of powder and air mixture and commonly varies from 1 to 4.

You can achieve the best separation efficiency utilizing cyclones having diameters lower than 1 meter.

The separation efficiency will be around 95 percent if you meet all the optimum parameters in designing cyclones.

6)  Powder Return System

This part consists of a powder sieve, lecithin treatment system, fluid bed, pneumatic transport, and cooling.

How Does Low-Temperature Spray Dryer Work?

The low-Temperature Spray Dryer operates on the moisture elimination concept under low heat.

In three stages, it efficiently converts liquid into particles.

· Atomization

From a feedstock, a liquid or slur enters into a spray nozzle or Atomizer.

The Atomizer breaks the solution into fine droplet sprays to increase surface area for evaporation.

This process takes advantage of the low-temperature air.

The spray drying equipment can introduce the hot air in a co-current or counter-current drying manner.

· Droplet to Particle Conversion

In this stage, the droplets go to a drying gas chamber for moisture vaporization, forming the dry particles.

The atomized sprays in contact with hot air instantly dry up into a fine powder.

·  Particle Collection

Finally, the spray drying process moves to the particle collection stage for separation from the drying medium.

Cyclone and filter bags separate the final product from the drying gas.

Low-temperature spray dryers run silently emitting noise less than 60 dB and will not impact your working environment.

 low temperature spray drying machine

Low-temperature spray drying machine

· Spray Dryer Design

The Spray dryer design directly affects the final product size and bulk density.

Two factors affect the droplet size including the feeding pressure and type of nozzle.

Nozzles come in different sizes and shapes to produce three sizes of particles: fine, medium, and coarse.

Higher feeding pressure produces smaller droplets leading to smaller particles.

To achieve the desired particle attributes, use appropriate nozzle size, and adjust the feeding pressure accordingly.

· Processing Parameters

In addition to low-temperature spray dryer design, essential parameters such as air temperature, viscosity, and humidity affect particles’ properties.

Drying time increases with reduced temperatures, while high humidity, on the other hand, increases drying time.

However, the latest technological designs include humidifiers to reduce humidity in the inlet air.

Several factors affect bulk density (dry powder weight /unit volume).

The bulk density has a significant impact on the cost of the container, handling, and shipping.

Here are the factors that affect the bulk density of materials dried in low-temperature spray dryer:

  • High feed rate
  • High inlet temperature
  • Low outlet temperature

What are the Safety Features of Low Heat Spray Dryer?

In every manufacturing plant, safety is of utmost importance.

For that matter, let’s look at some of the safety features of Low Heat Spray Dryer:

· Noise

The design and material used in the Low-temperature Spray dryer ensure minimum sound emission.

Typically, the spray drying machine produces noise below 60db hence guaranteeing a safe working environment.

· Explosion Risk

High temperatures can easily ignite organic solvents.

Nitrogen gas helps to eliminate explosions risks posed by organic solvents.

Modern designs of low-temperature spray dryers have explosion vent panels and automatic explosion suppression systems.

· High-Temperature Protection

The entire Low Heat Spray drying process generates a lot of heat.

Automatic air blowers help to minimize High Temperature caused by heaters and to maintain system temperature at default safe range.

Furthermore, the dryer has warning signage fixed on its body.

How Do You Reduce Stickiness in Low-Temperature Spray Dryer?

The thermoplastic effect causes the powder to stick together and onto walls hindering the production process.

Furthermore, it reduces molecular weights in addition to reduced production.

You can apply the following tips to reduce the stickiness in low-temperature spray drying equipment:

· Low-Temperature Air

Low temperature eliminates the problem of plastic characteristics that cause stickiness in powder.

But on the flip side, low temperatures increase drying time.

Increasing the drying chamber’s height enables the complete drying of powder when using low-temperature air.

· Cold Air

Introducing cold air in the spray drying process to help in the formation of solid particles significantly reducing stickiness.

At the last stages of the drying process, introduce cold air at the dryer’s bottom part.

However, do it in moderation because a lot of cold air also causes stickiness due to increased humidity.

· Cooling Walls of Drying Chamber

To minimize thermoplastic particles sticking together, reduce the temperature of the spray chamber’s walls.

The cold walls cool and solidify the thermoplastic materials’ outer surfaces, thus eliminating stickiness.

However, though not 100% effective, it provides satisfactory results.

On the downside, the cold walls increase humidity and lower the surrounding air temperature.

· Scrapping Of Chamber Wall

Scrapping wall chambers significantly reduces stickiness, especially in relatively lower thermoplastic materials such as sucrose and lactose.

Use dehumidified cold air to clean the walls and scrape the loose sticky residues.

· Drier Design

When processing thermoplastic materials, consider two crucial dryer design elements.

Utilize a conical type of spraying nozzle in conjunction with a co-current spray dryer design.

· Droplet Size

Larger droplets lead to larger particles that may not dry sufficiently.

Due to their partial dryness and wetness, large particles often become sticky.

How do you Optimize Low-Temperature Spray Dryers?

Optimization implies improving the Spray Dryer’s production capacity, which in turn leads to lower workforce input and greater energy efficiency.

Evaporation rate affected by temperature difference (△T) between inlet and outlet air ultimately affects spray dryer capacity.

The bigger the △T, the better the Spray Dryer’s capacity.

Optimize your Spray Dryer capacity by either reducing the temperature of outlet air or increasing the temperature of inlet air.

Each Spray Dryer and product type has a specific outlet temperature.

Set your dryer to operate on the safe side “dry enough” because “too dry” settings lead to underutilization.

Increasing the temperature of inlet air ensures there is more evaporation energy, but do so within a safer range.

Besides, increasing the feed temperature as high as possible while considering thermal sensitivity increases production capacity.

What is the Difference between Counter-current and Co-current Design in Low-Temperature Spray Dryer?

Differences in these two types of Low-Temperature Spray Dryer Designs stem from flow patterns between atomized spray and hot air.

In the Counter-current design, you will introduce hot air and atomized spray from the Low-Temperature Spray opposite ends.

Atomized spray enters at the top while hot air enters from below.

The counter-current flow of the hot air and spray makes this design highly efficient.

Inside the drying chamber, the air and dried particles continue in opposite directions.

Dried particles escape at the bottom, meeting hot air, making this design suitable for thermal-resistant materials like soaps and detergents.

But since dried powder interacts with hot air at the bottom, this design is not suitable for thermal sensitive products.

However, in co-counter design, both the heated air and atomized spray enter via the top of the drying chamber.

The hot air and dried particles flow together inside the chamber before being released at the bottom.

The co-counter flow suits thermal-sensitive materials such as dairy products.

How does Low-Temperature Spray Dryer compare to Freeze Dryer?

While both drying equipments operate under the principle of solvent evaporation, there are some differences between them.

On energy efficiency, a low-Temperature Spray Dryer uses less energy than the Freeze Dryer.

Freeze Dryers preserve essential ingredients of thermal sensitive and delicate materials.

The critical advantage of Freeze Dryer includes better product uniformity, higher yield, and higher quality (water content and stability).

It has a much lower processing temperature (below 30o C) in comparison to Low-temperature Spray Dryer.

However, these advantages come at a higher cost and processing time.

Low-Temperature Spray Dryer produces bulky products making it unsuitable for formulating products into vials and containers.

Therefore, it is not effective in ensuring the non-contamination of products.

On the other hand, a Freeze Drying machine conveniently suits products that do not need additional processing after drying.

Subsequent processing after drying into vials and containers increases costs, reduces quality, increases contamination, and accuracy limitations.

Freeze drying enables large production of micro-filled vials and containers, a big challenge in powder dispensing in smaller quantities.

However, the Low-Temperature Spray Dryer enables the manipulation of particles to the desired sizes.

Freeze drying consumes a lot of time, is in-efficient, and produces bulky dried materials requiring additional grinding.

What is the Maximum Inlet Air Temperature in Low-Temperature Spray Dryers?

Most low-temperature spray drying machines have a maximum inlet air temperature of 200 degrees Celsius.

However, some such as our YC-1800 low-temperature spray dryers have an inlet temperature of 105 degrees Celsius.

Which are the Types of Nozzles Used in Low-Temperature Spray dryers?

Different types of Nozzles exist in the market, each with unique applications.

  • Ultrasonic Nozzles: Produce droplets and particles with unique and large spherical shapes. It has less clogging issues.
  • Four Fluid Nozzles: Breaks a solution into fine droplets with high uniformity. It produces micro mist and easily atomizes two different liquid types.
  • Inkjet Nozzles: An atomization nozzle based on inkjet technology
  • Rotary disk nozzle: A high speed rotating wheel to dispense liquids at high speed.
  • Whirl Nozzles
  • The single-fluid nozzle or hydraulic nozzle: Utilizes liquid’s kinetic energy to break a substance into a fine spray.
  • Two fluid nozzles: Mix high-speed air with liquid.

How Do You Maintain The Nozzle of Low-Temperature Spray Dryer?

Here are some of the ways of ensuring that your spray nozzles stay in good condition for the longest time:

Components of spray dryer

 Components of spray dryer nozzle

  • You can do some kinds of nozzle cleaning daily, and others annually using a dilute caustic solution. To prevent sticky substances, clean immediately after shut down.
  • Replace worn out parts such as swirl and nozzles immediately.
  • Replace seals and rings every time you disassemble a nozzle
  • lubricate rings
  • operate within recommended temperature

What is the Difference Between Droplet Size range and Droplet Size Distribution in a Low-Temperature Spray Dryer?

In comparison, the droplet size range refers to variations in droplet sizes from the smallest to the largest.

On the other hand, droplet size distribution refers to the uniformity in droplet sizes spread in a spray.

What is the Role of CIP in Low-Temperature Spray Dryer?

The process of spray drying requires that you routinely wet clean the low-temperature spray dryer, particularly during changeovers.

Modern spray drying equipment comes fitted with a fully automatic clean-in-place (CIP) system to guarantee efficient cleaning.

CIP system makes sure that the cleaning solutions get into contact with every contact surface.

It ensures that you perform the cleaning at the right flow rate and temperature to eliminate all product residues.

Moreover, CIP system equally helps prevent time-consuming dismantling and reassembly of equipment parts for manual cleaning.

The system washes and then dries every orifice and surface area of the low-temperature spray dryer.

The design of CIP system enables it to remove all moisture after cleansing, thus preventing bacterial growth.

It uses warm, compressed air that you add to drain all liquid out of the spray drying machine.

This leaves the whole low heat spray dryer totally without residual moisture.

Can you Customize Low-Temperature Spray Dryer?

Yes, we offer the capability to facilitate a high level of customization to conform to specific requirements.

We provide a wide range of alternatives, add-ons, and components to satisfy unique demands.
