DRYING
 Drying is the process of removing liquid from solids
by evaporation.
 The drying process has been used
 For thousands of years to reduce transport weight
 To increase the storage life of numerous products
and materials.
 With the dawn of the industrial age, many different drying
processes have been developed to increase drying speed and
improve product quality and uniformity.
SPRAY DRYING
 Produce powders with a specific
particle size and moisture content.
 Spray drying is a method of
producing a dry powder from a
liquid or slurry by rapidly drying
with a hot gas.
 Preferred method of drying of
many thermally-sensitive materials
such as foods
and pharmaceuticals.
 A consistent particle size
distribution is a reason for spray
drying some industrial products
such as catalysts.
 Air is the heated drying medium;
however, if the liquid is a
flammable solvent such
as ethanol or the product is
oxygen-sensitive then nitrogen is
used.
HISTORY OF SPRAY DRYING
 The development of spray drying equipment and techniques
evolved over a period of several decades from the 1870s
through the early 1900s.
 The first known spray dryers used nozzle atomizers, with
rotary atomizers introduced several decades later.
 Milk drying was the first major commercial application of the
technology.
 Spray drying came of age during World War II, with the
sudden need to reduce the transport weight of foods and other
materials.
GENERAL PROCESS INVOLVED
CONCENTRATION
ATOMIZATION
DROPLET AIR CONTACT
DROPLET DRYING
SEPERATION
 CONCENTRATION:-
 Increases the solids content.
 Reducing the amount of liquid that must be evaporated in the spray
dryer.
 ATOMIZATION:-
 To create the optimum conditions for evaporation.
 To lead to a dried product having the desired characteristics.
 Nozzles(1-100) and rotary atomizers are used to form sprays.
 DROPLET-AIR CONTACT:-
 The central element of a spray dryer is the spray dry chamber where
atomized liquid is brought into contact with hot gas (usually air, at a
vacuum).
 Resulting in the evaporation of 95%+ of the water
 The way in which the spray makes contact with the air in the dryer
influences the behaviour of the droplet during the drying phase and has a
direct bearing on the properties of the dried product.
 DROPLET-DRYING:-Moisture evaporation takes place in 2 stages.
 SEPERATION:-
 Primary separation is accomplished by the particles simply falling to the bottom of
the chamber & a small fraction of the particles remain entrained with the air and
must be recovered in separation equipment.
 Cyclones, bag filters, and electrostatic precipitators may be used for the final
separation stage & wet scrubbers are then often used to purify and cool the air so
that it can be released to atmosphere.
FIRST STAGE SECOND STAGE
 SATURATED AIR TEMP.=DRYING AIR
WET-BULB TEMP
 There is sufficient moisture in the drop
to replace the liquid evaporated at the
surface.
 Evaporation takes place at a relatively
constant rate.
 Begins when there is no longer enough
moisture to maintain saturated conditions at
the droplet surface.
 It cause a dried shell to form at the surface.
 Evaporation then depends on the diffusion
of moisture through the shell, which is
increasing in thickness.
 The rate of evaporation falls rapidly during
the second phase.
TYPES OF SPRAY DRIERS
 CO-CURRENT FLOW DRYER
 COUNTER-CURRENT FLOW
DRYER
 MIXED FLOW DRYER
 OPEN CYCLE DRYER
 CLOSED CYCLE DRYER
 SEMI-CLOSED CYCLE
DRYER
 SINGLE STAGE DRYER
 TWO STAGE DRYER
 VERTICAL DRYER
 HORIZONTAL DRYER
CO-CURRENT FLOW DRYER
 Preferred Design for heat-sensitive products.
 Spray evaporation is rapid , temperature of the
drying air is quickly reduced by the vaporization
of water.
 The product does not suffer from heat
degradation because the droplet temperature is
low during most of the evaporation
 Time.
 Once the moisture content reaches the target
level, the temperature of the particle does not
increase greatly because the surrounding air is
now much cooler.
 Dairy and other heat-sensitive food products are
usually dried in co-current dryers.
Open Cycle Co-current Flow Layout
1. feed storage2. pump3. drying chamber4. air
heater5. cyclone6. gas scrubber7. separator
COUNTER-CURRENT FLOW DRYER
 The spray and the air are introduced at opposite ends of the
dryer, with the atomizer positioned at the top and the air entering
at the bottom.
 More rapid evaporation and higher energy efficiency than a co-
current design.
 Not suitable for heat-sensitive products.
 Soaps and detergents are commonly dried in counter-current
dryers.
MIXED FLOW DRYERS
 Combination of both co-current & counter-current.
 Air enters at the top and the atomizer is located at the bottom.
 Like the counter-current design, a mixed flow dryer exposes the
driest particles to the hottest air.
 This design is not used with heat-sensitive products.
OPEN CYCLE DRYER
 Air is drawn from the atmosphere, heated, conveyed.
 Through the chamber and then exhausted to the atmosphere.
 Most commonly used.
Open Cycle Layout
1. drying air 2. feedstock 3.
dried product4. drying chamber
5. cyclone
6. Alt. A: wet scrubber
7. Alt. B: bag filter
8. Alt. C: electrostatic
precipitator
 A closed cycle dryer recycles the
drying gas, which may be air or
more commonly, an inert gas such
as nitrogen.
 Closed cycle units are the dryers of
choice when:
 Feedstock consists of solids
mixed with flammable
organic solvents.
 Complete recovery of
solvent is required & the
products are toxic
 Pollution due to vapour,
particulate emissions or
odour is not permitted.
 Explosion risks must be
eliminated.
 The powder will degrade by
oxidation during drying.
 This design is a cross between
open and closed cycle dryers and it
is not gas tight.
 The “direct heated” or “self-
inertizing” system.
CLOSED CYCLE DRYER Semi-closed cycle dryer

11. scrubber/condenser12. air bleed to atmosphere
 moisture is reduced to the target
(typically 2% - 5% by weight) in one pass
through the dryer.
 The moisture content of product leaving
the chamber is higher (typically 5%-
10%)than for the final product.
 After leaving the chamber , the moisture
content is further reduced during a
second stage(in a fluidized bed dryer or
a vibrating bed dryer ).
 Allow the use of lower temperatures in
the dryer.
 Good choice for products that are
particularly heat-sensitive.

 Manufacturers of vertical spray
dryers include Stork,Niro and APV
Anhydro.
 The chamber-tall cylinder with a
cone-shaped bottom.
 Spray nozzles may be located at:-
 the top (co-current flow).
 or bottom (counter-current flow
or mixed flow) of the chamber.
 Inlets for the drying air(top, bottom
or side of the chamber).
 The chamber -rectangular box with
either a flat or a “V” shaped bottom.
 Nozzles in a box dryer normally spray
horizontally.(low flow nozzles)
 sweep conveyor or screw conveyor
 Manufacturers of flat-bottom box dryers
include: CE Rogers, Marriott Walker,
Henningsen Foods, Food Engineering
Co. and Henszey Co.
 Manufacturers of “V” bottom dryers
include: Blaw-Knox, Bufflovak and
Mora Industries.
Vertical dryer Horizontal dryer
ATOMIZATION
The purpose of the atomizer:-
 To meter flow into the chamber.
 Produce populations of liquid particles
of the desired size.
 And distribute those liquid particles
uniformly in the drying chamber.
 The selection of a specific atomizer is
made based on the
 Feedstock.
 The required powder properties.
 The dryer type capacity and
 The atomizer capacity.
 ROTARY ATOMIZERS:-
 Use energy of a high speed rotating wheel to divide bulk liquid in to
droplets.
 Feedstock is introduced at the centre of the wheel, flows over the
surface to the periphery and disintegrates into droplets when it leaves
the wheel.
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
The liquid feed system can operate at
relatively low pressure.
Produce large quantities of fine particles,
so pollution control problems.
Able to handle applications where
clogging would be a problem for
nozzles.
High capital cost & very expensive to
maintain.
Particle size can be changed by
changing the wheel speed.
Difficult to use with highly viscous
materials.
TYPES OF NOZZLES
PRESSURE NOZZLE
 Most commonly used atomizers
for spray drying.
 Nozzles generally produce
coarser, freer flowing powders
than rotary atomizers.
 Pressure nozzles used in spray
drying are called “vortex”
nozzles because they contain
features that cause the liquid
passing through them to rotate.
 Operating pressure range –
250 psi(17.4 bar) to about
10,000 PSI (690 bar).
TWO-FLUID NOZZLE
 Liquid feedstock & compressed
air (or steam) are combined.
 the energy of compressed gas
to atomize the liquid.
 expensive to operate because
of the high cost of compressed
air.
 produce very fine particles and
to atomize high viscosity fluids.
 often used in laboratory , pilot
plant spray dry applications
 produce a wide range of flow
rates and droplet sizes.
Because of the problems and costs associated with rotary atomizers,
these are replaced with spray nozzles.
ADVANTAGES OF SPRAY DRYING
 Able to operate in applications that range from aseptic
pharmaceutical processing to ceramic powder production.
 Can be designed to virtually any capacity required.
 Feed rates range from a few pounds per hour to over 100 tons per
hour.
 Powder quality remains constant during the entire run of the dryer.
 Operation is continuous and adaptable to full automatic control.
 Can be used with both heat-resistant and heat sensitive products.
 Feedstock can be in solution, slurry, paste, gel , suspension or melt
form.
 Product density can be controlled & nearly spherical particles can
be produced.
 Material does not contact metal surfaces until dried, reducing
corrosion problems.
 A great variety of spray dryer designs are available to meet various
product specifications.

APPLICATIONS
 Milk Products
 By volume of product dried, the dairy industry is by far the largest
user of spray dryers for food processing.
 Milk is always concentrated in falling-film evaporators to a solids
content of 45%-55% before spray drying because the cost of
removing water in an evaporator is about 1/10 the cost of removing it
in a spray dryer.
 Both rotary atomizers and pressure nozzles have been used but in
recent years, rotary atomizers have been replaced almost entirely by
nozzles.
 Spray dried milk products are re-dissolved or dry mixed when
utilized.

  • 16. ATOMIZATION The purpose of the atomizer:-  To meter flow into the chamber.  Produce populations of liquid particles of the desired size.  And distribute those liquid particles uniformly in the drying chamber.  The selection of a specific atomizer is made based on the  Feedstock.  The required powder properties.  The dryer type capacity and  The atomizer capacity.
  • 17.  ROTARY ATOMIZERS:-  Use energy of a high speed rotating wheel to divide bulk liquid in to droplets.  Feedstock is introduced at the centre of the wheel, flows over the surface to the periphery and disintegrates into droplets when it leaves the wheel. ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES The liquid feed system can operate at relatively low pressure. Produce large quantities of fine particles, so pollution control problems. Able to handle applications where clogging would be a problem for nozzles. High capital cost & very expensive to maintain. Particle size can be changed by changing the wheel speed. Difficult to use with highly viscous materials.
  • 18. TYPES OF NOZZLES PRESSURE NOZZLE  Most commonly used atomizers for spray drying.  Nozzles generally produce coarser, freer flowing powders than rotary atomizers.  Pressure nozzles used in spray drying are called “vortex” nozzles because they contain features that cause the liquid passing through them to rotate.  Operating pressure range – 250 psi(17.4 bar) to about 10,000 PSI (690 bar). TWO-FLUID NOZZLE  Liquid feedstock & compressed air (or steam) are combined.  the energy of compressed gas to atomize the liquid.  expensive to operate because of the high cost of compressed air.  produce very fine particles and to atomize high viscosity fluids.  often used in laboratory , pilot plant spray dry applications  produce a wide range of flow rates and droplet sizes. Because of the problems and costs associated with rotary atomizers, these are replaced with spray nozzles.
  • 19. ADVANTAGES OF SPRAY DRYING  Able to operate in applications that range from aseptic pharmaceutical processing to ceramic powder production.  Can be designed to virtually any capacity required.  Feed rates range from a few pounds per hour to over 100 tons per hour.  Powder quality remains constant during the entire run of the dryer.  Operation is continuous and adaptable to full automatic control.  Can be used with both heat-resistant and heat sensitive products.  Feedstock can be in solution, slurry, paste, gel , suspension or melt form.  Product density can be controlled & nearly spherical particles can be produced.  Material does not contact metal surfaces until dried, reducing corrosion problems.

  • 24. APPLICATIONS  Milk Products  By volume of product dried, the dairy industry is by far the largest user of spray dryers for food processing.  Milk is always concentrated in falling-film evaporators to a solids content of 45%-55% before spray drying because the cost of removing water in an evaporator is about 1/10 the cost of removing it in a spray dryer.  Both rotary atomizers and pressure nozzles have been used but in recent years, rotary atomizers have been replaced almost entirely by nozzles.  Spray dried milk products are re-dissolved or dry mixed when utilized.
