Rotary Atomizers are used in Spray Drying for atomizing the feed into fine droplets. In Rotary Atomizers, the kinetic energy of wheel rotation is used for atomization of the liquid. Droplet size of atomized liquid depends upon liquid properties, disc speed, disc configuration etc. Bulk density is also one of the critical product requirement of spray dried products. The desired results can be achieved by using different Atomizer wheel configurations and optimizing atomizer speed, optimizing relevant feed properties.

Fluid Bed Dryers / Cooler are widely used in the Industry for gentle drying/cooling of free flowing solids. Perforated plate is used to fluidize the material with the help of air stream. The fluid material is imparted mechanical energy by vibration. Plenum is used below the perforated plate to make the cooling media. Higher rates of heat transfer is achieved by the intensive interaction and of the material drying/cooling media (air/gas). Adjustable discharge wire is used to adjust the product residence time. Product drying and cooling is carried out in a single unit. AVM offers Customized Fluid Bed Drying Systems with a variety of Configurations.
