01 / Liquid to powder
Centrifugal Spray Dryer
Feed form: Pumpable liquid or slurry.
Start with feed solids, viscosity and the powder target. Atomization and heat response need a trial.
- Sample S-01 · Assumed feed
- 20 kg/h · 25 wt% solids

Three dryer types. A clearer project brief.
PROCESS OVERVIEWCONCEPT / 01–03
01 / Prepare the brief
What we need to size your dryer
A supplier needs your material and process data before a machine can be selected.
- 01 Material
- Composition and the liquid to remove, including water or solvent.
- 02 Feed form
- Liquid, slurry, powder, crystals or wet granules.
- 03 Moisture in / out
- Initial and target moisture, with the basis and test method.
- 04 Capacity
- Feed rate in kg/h, or wet load in kg/batch with the expected cycle.
- 05 Temperature limit
- Maximum product temperature and known heat sensitivity.
- 06 Utilities
- Power supply, heat source, cooling and available site space.
- 07 Solvent / dust / safety
- Solvent identity, dust properties and available safety data.
Missing a value? Write “Unknown”. Keep assumptions separate from measured data.
02 / Equipment selection
Compare three dryer types
02 / Wet particles
Fluid Bed Dryer
Feed form: Particles that can fluidize.
Start with particle size, bulk density and moisture. Sticky or fragile feed needs a process trial.
- Sample F-01 · Assumed wet feed
- 100 kg/h · 20 wt% moisture
03 / Batch solids
Double Cone Vacuum Dryer
Feed form: Solids that can tumble.
Start with batch load, bulk density and the liquid to remove. Heat limits and solvents need review.
- Sample V-01 · Calculated wet load
- 120 kg/batch · 200 L working
Sample data Sample specification data for website demonstration only. Do not use for equipment selection or purchasing.
Illustrations — not to scale. These are example inputs, not rated machine capacities. Moisture uses a wet mass basis. The vacuum example assumes a 500 L vessel, 40% loading and 0.60 kg/L bulk density. Batch load is not an hourly rate.
03 / Application matrix
Start with your material
Scroll the table to see all columns. Candidate processes need material testing and supplier review.
| Industry | Typical material | Objective | Main risk | Candidate dryer | Data needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chemical | Water-based salt solutions / wet crystals | Form powder or remove moisture | Corrosion, crystallization, dust | Spray: liquid Fluid bed: crystalsTest and review required | Composition, feed form, moisture, corrosion data |
| Pharmaceutical | Water-based process solutions / wet granules | Control powder or granule moisture | Heat response, cleaning, containment | Spray: solution Fluid bed: granulesTest and review required | Composition, heat limit, particle target, cleaning needs |
| Food & Dairy | Milk-based liquids / wet food granules | Form powder or finish drying | Stickiness, hygiene, heat response | Spray: liquid Fluid bed: granulesTest and review required | Solids, viscosity, moisture, hygiene and allergen needs |
| Ceramics | Ceramic slurry | Prepare powder for the next process | Abrasion, viscosity, particle target | Spray dryerTest and review required | Solids, flow properties, particle target, abrasion data |
| Battery Materials | Wet precursor solids | Review batch moisture removal | Contamination, oxygen / moisture sensitivity | Vacuum: batch solidsTest and review required | Composition, batch size, liquid content, atmosphere needs |
| Environmental & Waste Treatment | Characterized wet mineral granules | Remove water before the next process | Variable feed, contaminants, emissions | Fluid bed: granulesOnly if fluidization is confirmed | Feed variation, particle data, contaminants, emissions |
Industry names do not confirm process suitability or certification. Sticky sludge and other difficult feeds may need a dryer outside these three types.
04 / From brief to handover
Project workflow — example for a client site
Share data
Describe the material, target and site conditions.
Review fit
A supplier reviews the process and missing information.
Agree a test
Define the sample, test method and results to record.
Define scope
Agree equipment, utilities, documents and responsibilities.
Confirm an order
Confirm the technical agreement and commercial terms.
FAT and delivery
Check against agreed criteria before shipment.
This demo explains how to prepare data. Supplier review, tests, orders, factory acceptance testing (FAT) and delivery are example steps only; this site does not carry them out.
05 / Make the boundaries clear
Example scope and documents
A written scope helps a buyer see what is included and what needs a separate agreement.
Included / Example
Main equipment
- Agreed dryer assembly
- Controls for the defined process
- Equipment layout and operating documents
Quoted separately / Example
Supporting systems
- Heat source and utility equipment
- Dust or solvent recovery systems
- Site installation and commissioning
Client provides / Example
Project and site inputs
- Material data and agreed test samples
- Site layout, access and utilities
- Safety and process requirements
Example document set: equipment layout, selection record and FAT checklist. Final scope must be agreed with a real supplier. No documents are offered for download in this demo.
06 / Show the supporting evidence
Factory and FAT content examples
Illustration — not to scale
Workshop and fabrication
A client site can show approved workshop photos and explain which work takes place on site. This drawing is an example layout, not evidence of a real factory.
Illustration — not to scale
Tests and acceptance records
A client site can show agreed test methods, approved records and a short FAT video. This demo has no actual test results or video to play.
07 / Before an enquiry
Procurement questions
Start with the conditions that affect a process decision.
How do I choose a starting point?
Start with the feed form and required result. Compare a pumpable liquid, particles that can fluidize, or solids in a batch. Use the product pages as a starting point for supplier review, not a final selection.
What information supports a quote?
Prepare the material, capacity with units, initial and final moisture, temperature limit and available utilities. Include solvent and dust information where relevant. Use the project data checklist and mark missing values as Unknown.
Can I select equipment from the sample values?
No. The numbers are example inputs and calculations for a website demonstration. They are not commercial models, rated capacities or a purchase recommendation.
Why might a material trial be needed?
A trial can help assess heat response, particle behaviour and the target moisture. Agree the sample, method and acceptance criteria with a real supplier. A small trial alone does not guarantee a full-scale result.
What should the scope of supply explain?
The scope should separate the main dryer, supporting systems and client responsibilities. Confirm utilities, site work, testing and documents in writing. The scope shown here is an example, not a commercial offer.
Does this demo send an equipment enquiry?
No. The local RFQ demo checks sample details in your browser only. Nothing is sent to a supplier or saved by this site. A completed demo does not create a quote request. See the RFQ workflow preview.
RFQ workflow / Local demo

This is a local form demo. Use sample details only. Nothing is sent to a supplier or saved by this site.
Include the material, feed form, capacity with units, moisture in and out, temperature limit and available utilities. Write “Unknown” for values you do not have.
The demo checks required fields and text length. It does not select equipment or provide a price.
