Abstract:
The spray dryer (1) has a drying chamber (2) with an opening (23) bordered by a rim (20) and a chamber roof (3) having a closing surface (30) facing the rim (20). The chamber roof (3) is movable between an open position and a closed position, and a seal (10) provided at the rim (20) of the drying chamber (2) seals against the closing surface (30) in the closed position. The rim (20) of the drying chamber (2) comprises a neck section (200) including a circumferential groove (25) facing the outwards radial direction, away from the opening (23) of the drying chamber (2). In the groove (25), a seal (10)is accommodated. The seal may be an O-ring seal (10).
Abstract:
The air disperser (4) for a spray drying apparatus has an air inlet (81) leading to a space (45) defined within an inner radius and an outer radius in which a set of guide vanes (7) is positioned. A top, a bottom and an outer circumferential wall are defined, and an air outlet (82) at the inner radius is adapted to be positioned above a feed outlet from atomizing means. Each guide vane (7) has a pre-defined length in the radial direction. At least the bottom and outer wall of said space (45) are provided by a base module (5). The top is provided by a top plate (6) and the set of guide vanes (7) is releasably secured to a fixating device (10, 11) to form a framework, and the framework is secured relative to the base module (5) in the axial direction by the top plate (6).
