Used Niro Mobile Minor Type HT Stainless Steel Spray Dryer with Rotary Atomizer

Manufacturer Information

Niro is a recognized name in industrial spray drying and powder processing equipment. Niro spray drying technology is associated with laboratory, pilot-scale, and production spray dryers used to convert suitable liquid feeds into dry particulate products. The Mobile Minor product line is designed for flexible small-scale spray drying and process development applications.

Main Product Description

Used Niro Mobile Minor Type HT stainless steel portable spray dryer with air-driven rotary atomizer and electric heating, designed for laboratory, pilot-scale, and small-scale industrial powder production from compatible liquid solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and slurries. The system offers approximate water evaporation capacities ranging from 1 to 7 kg/hour (2.2 to 15.4 lbs/hour), depending on feed characteristics, moisture content, drying temperatures, and operating conditions. The stainless steel drying chamber measures approximately 32" in diameter by 24" straight side and features an electrically heated air system capable of temperatures up to approximately 350°C (662°F). A top-entering Niro air-driven rotary atomizer disperses liquid feed into fine droplets for rapid moisture evaporation and powder formation. The unit includes a cyclone separator for recovering dried particles from the exhaust air stream, an operator control panel, and a center bottom discharge outlet. Mounted on wheels for portability between laboratory, pilot plant, and small-scale processing areas, this Mobile Minor spray dryer is suitable for consideration in food ingredient drying, formulation development, nutraceutical processing, pharmaceutical research, specialty chemical processing, and other compatible powder production applications. Manufactured by Niro. Serial #1952.
