Sécheur-atomiseur COMPACT DRYER

Le COMPACT DRYER est un sécheur-atomiseur doté d’un lit fluidisé intégré en forme d’anneau autour de la sortie d’air dans le bas de la chambre de séchage.

Le concentré est atomisé et introduit dans le haut de la chambre de séchage par un ensemble de buses ou par un atomiseur rotatif. L’air de séchage pénètre verticalement et à grande vitesse dans le disperseur d’air, ce qui assure un mélange optimal avec le concentré atomisé. L’évaporation intervient instantanément lorsque les gouttes traversent la chambre de séchage en direction du lit fluidisé situé dans le bas pour un séchage supplémentaire. De là, la poudre est déchargée dans un lit fluidisé VIBRO-FLUIDIZER où ont lieu le séchage final et le refroidissement.

Étant donné que la sortie d’air se trouve dans le bas du COMPACT DRYER, l’agglomération ne se produit que dans le lit fluidisé, ce qui résulte en des agglomérats plus denses.

Upgrades to maintain tiptop performance

We expect all of our components and equipment to give you top performance for the lifespan of your plant, so we can tell you when upgrades are available that could improve the efficiency or productivity of your existing COMPACT DRYER. Ask about other options that might reduce manual tasks and equipment downtime, and help to recycle heat and water.

Safe and hygienic by design

The GEA COMPACT DRYER is hygienic by design to satisfy the most stringent regulatory requirements for safe, sanitary dairy processing. Engineered for easy equipment inspection and maintenance we’ve also put equipment safety and operational health and safety at the top of our design imperatives. Find out how our GEA DRIVENT®, COTECTOR® and fire safety systems can reduce the risk of fire and explosions, giving you even greater confidence in the safety of your COMPACT DRYER plant, and your personnel.

All of our COMPACT DRYER plants are supplied with automated clean-in-place (CIP) as standard, taking the load off your operators so they can focus on other key tasks in the plant. Thorough, efficient CIP may also help to save water and so cut your wastewater load, while fewer manual tasks reduce the likelihood of human error and associated delays.

GEA COMPACT DRYER efficiency and process quality are further enhanced thanks to our Clean Purge and optional CEE cyclone technologies. GEA SANICIP® bag filter and No Intervention Fines Return System (NIFRS) technologies further help to reduce product loss, and so help to improve your yield.

Stability and sustainability

The COMPACT DRYER can be combined with additional GEA innovations that could significantly improve your process sustainability. At our centre of excellence in Soeborg, Denmark, you also can find out more about our digital GEA OptiPartner process control automation platform, heat recovery systems and energy-saving AddCool® heat pump technology, which in combination can dramatically improve process stability and energy efficiency. Talk to our specialists about which technologies might be combined with the COMPACT DRYER to help you get the best results from your plant while reducing carbon footprint, and supporting your future growth and expansion.
