Dehumidification and efficient air heating are key for spray drying

Spray drying is a sensitive process, and it requires precise humidity and temperature control. Airborne moisture and undesirable humidity can have adverse effects on your production output:

• Seasonal humidity variation can impact process time and quality.
• Clumping and blockages occur when the air contains large levels of moisture, as powders and granules have a natural tendency to form lumps and clumps – especially prevalent in food and pharmaceutical processing.
• Mold, fungi, and bacterial growth of all kinds can easily occur where the relative humidity is high. They can cause major damage to products, and could be a health risk to employees.
• Condensation can result in pooling on surfaces where powders may get stuck and clump inside the machinery and/or drying chambers.
• Corrosion of the spray drying equipment can reduce its efficiency and shorten its service life – driving up service and maintenance costs.

Indirect air heating is an essential step in the spray drying process. Traditional steam systems have high initial cost, low efficiency, and cannot provide higher supply temperatures. Munters’ VariMax IFRG, indirect recirculating gas heater, provides contaminant-free air – without increasing humidity levels – with supply temperatures up to 1000°F (538° C) and efficiency levels up to 98%.
