SDS MODEL 48 SPRAY DRYER

SDS Model 48 spray dryers are used for evaporation rates of 20 to 150 lb/hr of water.  They have a standard drying chamber of 4 feet in diameter, with a typical straight side of 6 feet.

The Model 48 spray dryer can produce as high as 150 micron average particle size in the mixed-flow configuration, with little or no wall buildup.

The actual evaporation rate and maximum average particle size achievable depends upon the feed being processed, the air temperatures used for spray drying, and the nozzle configuration used.

A direct fired natural gas air heater provides the energy required for evaporation, with a maximum inlet air temperature of 1,200⁰F.

Atomization is provided by either a pressure nozzle, or a two-fluid nozzle.  Nozzle configuration can be co-current (spray down) or mixed-flow (spray up).

Powder collection choices include chamber separation, cyclone, and bag filter.

The ducting and cyclone use tri-clamp connections for ease of disassembly.

The standard NEMA 12 control panel includes inlet and outlet air temperature indication, PID temperature control, feed pump speed control, system pressure indication, temperature and pressure safety switches, the flame safety relay, a local disconnect, as well as all the required start/stop buttons, on/off switches, and indication lights.

The overall height of the Model 48 spray dryer ranges from 11' to 18', depending on the height of the straight side and whether chamber bottom separation is used.  The footprint is approximately 8' x 11'.

All components of the Model 48 spray dryers are engineered and manufactured right here in the United States.
