Mini Inert loop spray dryer YC-501

Efficient and safe Spray Drying of aqueous and organic solutions

Since 2005, Shanghai Pilotech has provided mini spray dryer YC-015, laboratory low-temperature spray dryer YC-1800, pilot sacle spray dryer YC-018, laboratory vacuum spray dryer YC-2000, laboratory inert loop spray dryer YC-015A and pilot scale inert loop spray dryer YC-018A system, having been the leader of laboratory scale spray dryer field in global market. We have installed over 3000 units spray dryers in colleges, institutes and business R&D departments all over the world. In 2016, in accordance with the principle of providing reliable and durable products with accuracy and innovation, focusing on practical laboratory requirements of customers, Shanghai Pilotech launched brand-new YC-500 mini spray dryer, which was generated from many years of spray dryer manufacturing experience and modern instrument manufacturing. Thus, the user experience, the reliability and the convenience are greatly improved.

YC-501 mini Inert loop spray dryer principle

To safely spray dry inflammable solvents,a new operating principle is employed which uses a combination of the Spray Dryer YC-015 and the Inert Loop to provide a closed loop circulation under inert conditions. The absence of oxygen prevents the formation of a ignitable mixture.At the same time, the solvent contained in the gas stream is cooled and consequently condensed. The regenerated flow is then returned again to the spray dryer.

YC-501 mini Inert loop spray dryer Safety

YC-501 mini Inert loop spray dryer features good safety and easy operations as it adopts closed cycle of nitrogen (or other inert gas), a safe gas, to keep the entire system in a closed state, and on-line monitoring of oxygen concentration such that the system would power off automatically and alarm when the oxygen concentration has reached 2.5% (which can be preset by the user as needed). The combination of closed nitrogen cycle and full solvent recovery allows treatment of flammable and toxic solvents and drying of readily oxidizable material. In addition, the low boiling points of organic solvents allow low temperature drying of the material subject to heat denaturation.

YC-501 mini Inert loop spray dryer Solution to difficulty to dry organic solvents

While organic solvents are generally flammable and explosive, an explosion-proof, Inert loop spray dryer allows the materials to circulate in a closed drying system and prevents the organic solvent gas from coming in contact with the outside air, thus ensuring safe operations.

YC-501 mini Inert loop spray dryer Solution to difficulty to dry oxydizable material

Taking advantage of the antioxidant property of inert gas, this technology allows the materials to be dried and transmitted in an antioxidant environment in the closed circulation system isolated from oxygen, which ensures quality of the drying process for readily oxydizable material.

YC-501 mini Inert loop spray dryer Solution to toxic gases pollution from raw materials

While some materials or solvents may produce toxic gases when vaporized, an mini spray dryer with closed cycle of inert gas would keep these toxic gases in the closed system and allow them to be collected in subsequent processes, thus reducing environmental pollution, which is favorable for environmental protection.

The following solvents have been tested and can be used without reservation:

Methanol

Ethanol

Toluene

Hexane

Acetone

Ethylacetate

Dichloromethane*

* additional DLSB recommended

YC-501 mini Inert loop 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-blocking is sometimes necessary with materials which may solidify or when large particles in suspension cause blockages in the jet.
