GEA Mobile Minor R&D Spray Dryer
Manufacturer Details
In the MOBILE MINOR®, small quantities of solutions, suspensions or emulsions can be dried into representative powder samples, facilitating the retrieval of the process data required for scaling-up to industrial production. It is a flexible and easy-to-handle spray dryer which has become standard equipment in the R&D departments of many leading manufacturers, independent research institutes and universities worldwide.
The MOBILE MINOR® is available in different versions designed to cater for different requirements including the drying of aqueous and/or solvent based feedstock. As different atomization techniques give different droplet sizes and drying characteristics, the MOBILE MINOR® is available in three different atomization techniques:
Rotary atomization
Atomization by a co-current two-fluid nozzle
Atomization by two-fluid nozzle in fountain mode
In addition, a number of options are available for powder collection, explosion protection, cleaning, data logging and other technical features.
