Dorst Spray Dryer - Precision Granulation Technology
At the AMRICC Centre, our state-of-the-art spray drying equipment provides advanced granulation capabilities ideal for ceramic powders, metals, and composite materials.
Technical Description
Spray drying technology transforms powdered materials into free-flowing granules by mixing them into a slurry and spraying this mixture into a heated chamber. The fine droplets formed in the chamber are rapidly dried by hot air, resulting in uniform granules ranging from 5 to 100 microns.
Our Dorst Large Industrial Lab Spray Dryer is designed to simulate industrial-scale conditions. This spray dryer processes water-based slurries efficiently, with a capacity of up to 5 kg per hour, making it ideal for bulk material production and scale-up trials.
Uses and Applications
