Dehumidification and efficient air heating are musts for spray drying
A sensitive process, spray drying requires precise humidity and temperature control. Airborne moisture and undesirable humidity can have adverse effects on your production output.
Indirect air heating is an essential step in the spray drying process. Traditional steam systems have high capital investment costs and low efficiency and cannot provide higher supply temperatures. Munters VariMax IFRG, an indirect recirculating gas heater, provides contaminant-free air – without increasing humidity levels – with supply temperatures up to 1000°F [538° C] and efficiency levels up to 98%.
Adverse effects
- Seasonal humidity variations can impact process time and quality.
- Blockages occur when the air contains excessive moisture because powders and granules naturally lump and clump, especially on food and pharmaceutical processing lines.
- Mold, fungi and bacteria quickly grow when relative humidity is high, potentially damaging products and putting employee health at risk.
- Condensation can pool on surfaces causing powders to stick and clump inside the machinery and drying chambers.
- Spray drying equipment corrosion can reduce efficiency and shorten equipment service life, driving up service and maintenance costs.

Munters desiccant rotor improves Sensus Zwolle spray drying process
Based in Zwolle, the Netherlands, Sensus uses the chicory root to produce inulin, a sweetener used in the food industry, utilizing a spray drying process to convert the concentrated inulin solution to powder.
One of the most important parameters in the spray drying process is climate fluctuations and temperature and moisture content determine the product’s glutinosity, which can cause production stops due to fouling.
The Munters PureSystem Premium Plus 3500 with the patented HPQ Quantum desiccant rotor optimizes Sensus spray drying process with perfect inulin moisture content. With Munters proven technology, climate is no longer a variable but a constant factor, and production capacity has increased by 40%.
