GEA Niro SPRAY FLUIDIZER

The SPRAY FLUIDIZER™ combines spray drying and fluid bed technology in a way that it is a fluid bed dryer, but also a spray dryer, as the evaporation already starts when the liquid feed material leaves the high pressure atomization nozzle as a spray and before the particles adheres to the agglomerates or granulates in the fluidizing powder layer in the back-mix fluid bed. A plug-flow fluid bed is applied for second-stage drying and cooling.
