KODI has successfully completed customer acceptance testing of its upgraded LPG-5 laboratory spray dryer for an American customer. The 5 kg/h water evaporation capacity spray dryer features dual atomization technology, a hygienic SUS304 stainless steel construction, and a Siemens HMI touchscreen, making it suitable for laboratory research, spray drying process development, and small-batch production.

Upgraded LPG-5 Laboratory Spray Dryer: Key Features

The LPG-5 laboratory spray dryer is designed for customers who need flexible atomization options, reliable drying performance, and hygienic equipment construction. During the recent customer test run, the upgraded system operated continuously under stable working conditions, demonstrating its drying performance and temperature control capabilities.

The upgraded LPG-5 features two major design improvements.

1. Dual Atomization System: Centrifugal Atomizer and Two-Fluid Nozzle

The upgraded LPG-5 laboratory spray dryer integrates two atomization options in one machine: a centrifugal atomizer and a two-fluid nozzle.

This dual-spray configuration allows operators to select the appropriate atomization method according to the properties of the feed material, desired powder characteristics, and process development requirements. It provides greater flexibility for laboratory spray drying experiments and helps researchers evaluate different atomization methods using a single spray drying system.

2. Circular Drying Chamber Manhole for Improved Hygiene

The drying chamber features a precision-engineered circular manhole. Compared with conventional square openings, the circular design promotes more uniform stress distribution and supports reliable sealing. Its geometry also helps reduce potential sanitary dead corners, supporting cleaning and maintenance.

These design features received positive feedback from the customer’s technical team during the test run.

Technical Features of the KODI LPG-5 Spray Dryer

The upgraded LPG-5 is constructed from food-grade SUS304 stainless steel and equipped with a Siemens HMI touchscreen for equipment operation and process monitoring.

The internal drying chamber features a mirror-polished surface designed to help reduce powder adhesion and facilitate cleaning. These features support hygienic processing requirements for applications involving food ingredients, pharmaceutical materials, and other products requiring careful contamination control.

Key equipment specifications and features:

* Model: LPG-5 laboratory spray dryer

* Water evaporation capacity: 5 kg/h

* Atomization methods: Centrifugal atomizer and two-fluid nozzle

* Construction material: Food-grade SUS304 stainless steel

* Control interface: Siemens HMI touchscreen

* Drying chamber: Mirror-polished internal surface with a precision circular manhole

* Typical applications: Laboratory research and development, spray drying process optimization, and small-batch production

Actual drying capacity and final powder characteristics depend on feed composition, initial moisture content, inlet and outlet temperatures, and other operating conditions.

Applications of the LPG-5 Laboratory Spray Dryer

The LPG-5 laboratory spray dryer can be used to investigate spray drying processes for a wide range of materials, including:

* Food ingredients and nutritional powders: Food-derived ingredients, nutritional formulations, and powdered flavorings.

* Pharmaceutical and herbal extracts: Suitable for process development involving compatible pharmaceutical ingredients and herbal extracts.

* Flavors and fragrances: Spray drying research for selected flavoring and fragrance formulations.

* Fine chemical materials: Drying process development for suitable chemical solutions and suspensions.

* Ceramic powders: Spray drying of compatible ceramic slurries and suspensions.

By combining flexible atomization options with a compact laboratory-scale configuration, the LPG-5 helps bridge laboratory research and development with small-batch production and process scale-up studies.
