FILTERMAT® with belt section opened
Mode of oeprationThe FILTERMAT® spray dryer combines a co-current nozzle tower dryer with a built-in conveyor belt. The residence time while the powder is moved along with the belt is several minutes, offering sufficient time to complete powder drying and cooling while maintaining the required powder temperatures. This relatively long residence time is possible as the FILTERMAT® dryer operates at a lower level of powder temperature than those possible in conventional spray dryer layouts. This means that the powder can be held much longer within the dryer until the process is completed.
