lab spray dryer YC-018

The world leading R&D solution for Spray Drying

The Lab Spray Dryer YC-018 is the result of 15 years continuous development ,is your choice for the quick and gentle drying to powder of liquid material. The impressive features of the Spray Dryer include its efficient performance with very short set-up times,an effective integrated nozzle cleaning mechanism and a high degree of flexibility thanks to the different cylinder geometries. The system was designed to be stand by a keyboard, conducted by a colorful crystal screen of touch guidance mode , and allowed two modes of run: Automatic-mode, and Eye-monitored mode for the purpose of easily controlling experimental process .

Flexible switch between small and high processing capacities  The minimum and maximum capacities of YC-018 lab spray dryer are respectively 50ML and 4L/H. Being capable of continuous production, it is a perfect combination of minor, small and pilot scale.

Large particle processing ability  Size of particles dried with conventional lab spray dryers is generally 1-25μm, but they cannot meet requirements of processing of catalyst and other large particles. With YC-018, you can get particles with a maximum size of 100μm and it is the first choice for processing of catalyst and other large particles sizing 60-100μm.

Perfect combination of low temperature and ultra-high temperature  With maximum inlet air temperature reaching 350°C, it can meet ultra-high temperature drying requirements of ceramics and other materials; with minimum inlet air temperature being 105°C, it is especially suitable for spray drying of traditional Chinese medicine, extracts of natural substances and other materials with sugar content. No material will adhere to the wall during drying and materials are featured with excellent fluidity after drying.

YC-018 lab spray dryer Controls & Functionality

YC-018 lab spray dryer is designed to ensure that all functions are simple to select and adjust, to quickly achieve the optimum conditions for spray drying. Both use a clear touch screen display , the operator can control the following functions:

Inlet Temperature

Airflow Volume

Air compressor flow

Pump Speed

De-blocker Frequency

YC-018 lab spray dryer  Easy to use

Color Touch Screen,Fast setup and cleaning times

Scale up to pilot or industrial scale possible.

Visible process due to glass assembly

Adjustable particle size (1 – 100 microns)

YC-018 lab spray dryer  Two Fluid Nozzle with SUS316L stainless steel

The stainless steel spray assembly consists of an inner tube for the liquid sample leading to a small diameter jet. An outer tube directs compressed air to the nozzle. All units are supplied with 0.7mm jets, other sizes are available as accessories.The spray assembly incorporates an automatic de-blocking device that prevents the jet nozzle from becoming blocked, the de-blocking needle is activated by an integral compressor. De-blocker is sometimes necessary with materials which may solidify or when large particles in suspension cause blockages in the jet.

High recovery rate With only one cyclone separator, recovery rate is always a problem with lab spray dryers and it is difficult to improve recovery even with two cyclones. With the structured redesigned, YC-018 lab spray dryer can reach a maximum recovery rate of 92%, excellently solving the problem of low recovery.

Temperature protection  The heater has an extreme high temperature when experiment finished, which needs air blower to continue working in order to reduce the inside temperature and ensure the safety of equipment, YC-018 spray dryer can control air blower running automatically, even the operator wants to turn off the air blower, the system would prevent the operator until the temperature of system reduce to the default security state of system ;

SUS 304 stainless steel   Spray chamber, cyclone separator, collector are all made of SUS 304 stainless steel . It can work in a no-pollution and stable environment, and sight glass equipped so  the whole process can be inspected. All the spare parts are easy to install and clean.

Trusted by the users  Over 1,500 domestic customers of top universities, enterprises and research institutes use our mini spray dryer. And exported to more than 40 countries & regions such as the United States, Italy, South Korea, Mexico,Singapore, Canada, Malaysia, Chile and Russia etc.

YC-018 lab spray dryer  PRINCIPLE

A menu driven microprocessor controller allows the selection of inlet temperature, airflow, automatic de-blocker frequency and pump speed.

The self-priming peristaltic pump delivers the sample liquid from a container through a small diameter jet into the main chamber. At the same time an integral compressor pumps air into the outer tube of the jet which causes the liquid to emerge as a fine atomised spray into the drying chamber.

Heated air is blown through the main chamber evaporating the liquid content of the atomised spray. The solid particles of the material, which are normally in a free flowing state, are then separated from the exhaust air flow by a cyclone and collected in the sample collection bottle. The exhaust airflow is directed through a flexible 60 mm diameter hose direct to atmosphere or to an existing extraction system.
