VERSATILE-SD™ size 6.3 to 12.5 spray dryers offer a wide range of standard modules
configured to meet specific requirements.
All flowsheet animations are available in the GEA Niro download
area.
The VERSATILE-SD™ series of spray dryers has been developed over the
years to utilize the same basic design in various configurations for different
capacity levels. The modules even include different drying chamber designs for
the same process gas flow capacity to match various atomization systems and
product requirements.
The series extends from VERSATILE-SD™-6.3 up to
VERSATILE-SD™-12.5. To select the ideal configuration and equipment type, GEA
Niro process technologists often will recommend trials in GEA Niro Test Centers.
