Crystallizer

Sized for customer requirements; CIP capable; easy to operate; automated for efficient maximum crystal development

Refiner

Fully automated for easy operation; counter-current washing; CIP capable; low-volume water usage; efficient purification process

Attrition Dryer

Small compact size; low air velocity and high air temperature; attrition action breaks up the agglomerates into uniform particle size; product inlet is gravity fed from the basket centrifuge; product moves in a heated air stream from the dryer to an interstage cyclone for reduced dust loading on the bag house

Fluid Bed Dryer

Efficient final stage drying and cooling; CIP capable

Baghouse Collectors

Hot and cold baghouses collect fine particles from the attrition and fluid bed dryers; fines removed from bag filters are reintroduced to maximize yield; safety explosion venting; sanitary design; easy top-loading bag
