English term (edited): 'म' and 'spinning disc technology'

Spray Drying Granulation

This is a continuous process where the desired mechanism of particle growth is layering and simultaneous drying of the liquid feed on the surface of the smaller granules and nuclei particles. Liquid is the only feed source. Air temperatures are high to achieve the required drying rates. High density, free flowing granules are produced from solution and slurry feeds.


Spinning Disc Technology

The Food Chain CIC has recently completed research that could pave the way for major changes in food and drink production methods. Working with the Food Processing Faraday and Newcastle-based company, Protensive, to investigate applications of ‘spinning disc’ technology.

Spinning disc reactor (SDR) technology works by passing liquids across the surface of metal discs which can be set to spin, heat and cool at optimum speeds. The accuracy and speed with which ingredients can be mixed, the ability to strip water from substances and the high temperatures that can be achieved have made SDRs invaluable to the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
