The L-TECH™ Permeate Drying System’s Air Lift Dryer is fed from the bottom, increasing residence time. An integrated circular fluid bed at the bottom of the chamber provides second-stage drying and fines agglomeration. The recovered fines are conveyed to the drying chamber for agglomeration.
Features & Benefits
- Maximum water removal in HiCon Evaporator minimizes the size and energy requirements of the dryer.
- Continuous crystallization improves degree of lactose crystallization and reduces stickiness of powder in dryer.
- Continuous crystallization minimizes crystallizer capital and cooling expenses.
- Bottom-fed dryer for long retention time.
- All RELCO supplied equipment is built to applicable 3A standards and USDA guidelines for dairy equipment and governmental regulations in effect as of the date of this quotation unless specifically noted
- Explosion venting included on dryer chamber and baghouse.
- Small plant footprint for easy site location.
