A spray-drying nozzle for clog-resistant, low-flow applications
Spraying Systems
This company has introduced a multi-orifice spray nozzle that increases flowrates while maintaining the same drop size. The latest addition to the SprayDry SK Series of low-flow spray nozzles, the 3SK model (photo) uses three orifices and cores to increase production and improve dryer efficiency. Ideal for commercial spray drying of powders in the dairy, food processing, chemical, biochemical and pharmaceutical industries, the SprayDry 3SK nozzle features a slotted-core design that produces consistent particle sizes. The result is a hollow-cone spray pattern with uniform distribution of the smallest drop sizes available, which evaporate more quickly to save on heat and energy costs. With an anti-bearding design that reduces build-up in the nozzle orifice and an optional 100-mesh strainer to prevent clogging, the SprayDry 3SK is designed to extend wear life and reduce maintenance time. It features spray angles from 45 to 90 deg and a maximum pressure of 7,000 psi. Booth 1303 — Spraying Systems Co., Wheaton, Ill.
