Spray drying complex, high-value products demands equipment that is reliable, has high yields, and manufactures a quality particle. Traditional spray dryers often struggle with issues like powder buildup, low efficiency, and high down time. The Dahmes Ductless Dryer – Cone Bottom (DDD-C) is engineered to overcome these challenges. By integrating the baghouse directly around the drying chamber and eliminating extensive ductwork, the DDD-C delivers a compact, energy-efficient solution that simplifies cleaning, improves product recovery and produces consistent product quality.
Why Customers Choose the DDD-C
Choosing a ductless spray dryer can significantly reduce product loss. Traditional systems run product-filled air through ducts causing particles to adhere to the surfaces. The DDD-C eliminates high velocity ductwork and cyclones in which particles are able to build up and adhere to the walls. This product build-up not only reduces overall yield, but can cause shutdowns requiring frequent cleaning and maintenance, interrupting production, and adding to overall operational costs.
The DDD-C offers fully Clean-In-Place (CIP) capabilities, including our Bag-In-Place (BIP) process which allows for a thorough and efficient cleaning process without needing to change filter bags between runs. This makes for faster turnaround times between SKUs, reduced maintenance, and removes cross contamination with allergens with no need for operators to enter the system.
Another benefit to removing ductwork and cyclones is reduced pressure drop throughout the system. This lowers horsepower demands, improving overall energy efficiency. The compact system also helps reduce building footprint and makes retrofitting existing plants much simpler. The chamber can be combined with integrated or external fluid beds to allow for optimized processing of sensitive, high-value products.
