Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spray-drying device, in particular to a system for spray- drying a product.
  • Spray-drying is generally known.
  • a spray-drying device is provided which is connected to an inlet for the product to be sprayed taken from a store.
  • the product may be milk. Due to the high pressure and heat, the water present in the product can evaporate and the dry product remains. The dry product is collected and transported away and, if desired, undergoes further treatment.
  • a known spray-drying device can be connected to an injection pipe in the spray-drying tower and comprises a housing with an internal duct accommodated therein.
  • the product is supplied to the internal duct.
  • a turbulator is arranged in order to impart turbulence to the product.
  • the housing Downstream of the turbulator, the housing comprises an orifice through which the whirling product is passed to the outside, that is to say into the spray-drying tower, and during said expansion through the orifice, part of the evaporation takes place.
  • a problem of the known spray-drying devices and systems for spray-drying which include such devices is the fact that the supply of product takes place by means of controllable valves upstream of the spray-drying device.
  • Known valves are situated just in front of the injection pipe in the network of pipes, often together with a flange as a result of which it is difficult to remove them in order to carry out maintenance or repair. Access to the valve is difficult. Maintenance leads to a significant loss of production time and also to loss of product which is situated downstream of the valve.
  • a spray-drying device which is provided with a controllable valve body, which can close off in particular the internal duct of the spray- drying device.
  • the controllable valve body has an open position, in which product is allowed to pass through the internal duct, and a closed position, in which product is blocked, it being possible to switch between positions. Since a controllable valve body is provided, the operator can remotely control the supply of product through the spray- drying device and a control arrangement is obtained which is situated very close to the orifice. The loss of product is significantly reduced and replacement of the controllable valve is greatly simplified, as the spray-drying device is situated at a distal end of an injection pipe which extends into the spray-drying tower and which is readily accessible.
  • the spray-drying device comprises a housing which comprises at least two housing parts which are attached to one another by means of a releasable connection, such as a bayonet fastening or a screw connection.
  • a releasable connection such as a bayonet fastening or a screw connection.
  • the inlet i.e. the part which can be connected to the injection pipe
  • the orifice forms part of the second housing part.
  • controllable valve body forms part of the first housing part. This results in a device, in which opening and closing takes place in a housing part which is situated further upstream and the flowing out of the product to be sprayed takes place in the second housing part which is situated further downstream. Blockages may occur in this second housing part and this second housing part can easily be cleaned, in which case the supply of product is closed off just upstream of this removable second housing part.
  • controllable valve body is provided with a pin and a shut-off nipple in which the pin is connected to the shut-off nipple and extends into the second housing part.
  • a spray device which can bridge a relatively large distance between the shut-off nipple and, for example, a movable piston for opening and closing the shut-off nipple, with the piston being situated outside the spray-drying tower and the shut-off nipple being situated near the orifice inside the spray-drying tower. It is particularly advantageous to provide a spray-drying device having a connection for a control line for controlling the valve body and in particular for switching between the open and closed position of said valve body. Via the line, it is for example possible to send a control signal to the valve body and/or an actuator thereof. This produces a device in which the valve body position can be controlled remotely.
  • valve body can be controlled pneumatically and the line is a pneumatic line by means of which it is possible to switch between the open and closed position of the valve body by changes in air pressure.
  • the valve body can be switched and controlled without electrical signals, so that the danger of explosion and the like is prevented.
  • the valve body is a pin which is movable in the internal duct.
  • the pin may bear against a seat, as a result of which the internal duct is closed in said location.
  • the spray-drying device comprises a pretensioner for pretensioning the valve body to a closed position using pretension. This improves safety and further prevents the product from being contaminated.
  • a second injection pipe is present on which a second spray-drying device is placed in the same tower. By using a spare injection pipe, it is possible to switch from one set of spray-drying devices to the other during production.
  • the system comprises a control unit with an interface by means of which the controllable valve body can be instructed to open or close, the instruction being passed to the spray-drying device via a line, preferably a pneumatic line, via a suitable connection to the spray-drying device.

  • the system 1 comprises a store 2 connected to a spray-drying tower 4 via a supply line 3.
  • a substance to be spray-dried, such as milk, is passed to the tower 4 from store 2.
  • the spray-drying tower 4 is open at the top side. Hot air is blown into the tower 4 via the open side. Spray nozzles 5 spray droplets into this hot air stream, as a result of which these droplets are entrained by the stream and the water present in the droplets evaporates.
  • the top side is closed and the spray nozzles 5 are introduced into the tower by means of an injection pipe 6 and the air can also come from the side.
  • Air supply 29 with heating 20 supplies hot air to a diagrammatically illustrated mixing chamber 39 of the spray-drying tower 4.
  • the hot air supply 29 is illustrated diagrammatically.
  • Fig. 1 shows the embodiment of a tower 4 with an injection pipe 6 which is connected to the mixing chamber 39 downstream.
  • injection pipe 6 branches out into four branches 7-10, in which case a spray-drying device 11-14 is placed at each end of the branch 7-10 according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • a spray-drying device 11-14 is placed at each end of the branch 7-10 according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • Each of the spray-drying devices 11-14 is connected to a diagrammatically illustrated control device 19 via a control line 15-18.
  • the control line 15-18 is of a suitable kind, for example an air line which can be used for pneumatic control.
  • conditioned air is used for controlling a function of the spray-drying devices 11-14.
  • One outlet 21 of the spray-drying tower 4 is connected to a temporary store 25 for collecting the spray-dried products. From the temporary store 25, the spray-dried products are passed 23 on to a fluidized bed 26 and/or discharged and/or partly returned 24 to the spray-drying tower 5.
  • Figs. 2a and 2b show a first embodiment of a spray-drying device 11-14.
  • Spray-drying device 11 is illustrated together with an end of an injection pipe 7. Via the injection pipe 7, which is illustrated in the figure by means of dashed lines, the product to be spray-dried can be supplied to the spray-drying device 11.
  • Spray-drying device 11 is fitted on and in the end 27 of the injection pipe 7.
  • a suitable fitting means can be used, such as a screw thread 28, a weld or bayonet fastening.
  • the releasable connection allows the entire spray-drying device 11 to be replaced.
  • the end provided with screw thread 28 forms the inlet opening for product into the spray-drying device 11.
  • the internal duct is linked to the injection pipe 7 and is provided with a diagrammatically illustrated valve body 31 which may, for example, be a movable valve which can be switched between an open and a closed position.
  • Body 45 of spray- drying device 11 comprises a recess 33, into which valve body 31 can move.
  • a pretension is applied in order to bring the valve body 31 to the closed position.
  • the pretension may be applied by a spring body or the like. This will close the inlet when the supply pressure in the pneumatic line drops below a certain threshold value, thus preventing the formation of droplets.
  • the spray-drying device 11 is connected to the control device 19 so that a user can control the position of valve body 31 remotely and can open or close the latter at suitable points in time, thus starting or ending the supply of product.
  • a turbulator 40 is arranged in cavity 41 past which the product to be spray-dried can move so that turbulence is imparted and so that the product can reach cavity 42 which is linked to the orifice 43 via which the product can leave spray-drying device 11 and can enter the spray-drying tower 4.
  • the orifice 43 forms the outlet opening of the internal duct of the spray-drying device 11.
  • Turbulator 41 and orifice 43 are accommodated in a second spray-drying body part 46 which is connected, via a suitable connection, to the first spray-drying body part 45, which is connected to the injection pipe end 27.
  • the suitable connection between the spray-drying body parts 45 and 46 may be a screw connection or a bayonet fastening.
  • the turbulator can be accommodated between the two bodies and be positioned therein.
  • the supply of product is blocked and the releasable second spray-drying body part 46 is situated directly downstream of the valve body.
  • the second part 46 can be released from the first part 45 in order to remedy, for example, blockages of the orifice 43.
  • valve body 31 and the orifice 43 are situated a short distance from one another in the spray-drying device 11, dripping after the valve 31 has been closed is very limited and/or prevented completely. According to the prior art, dripping would contaminate the tower.
  • start-up procedure for activating the spray- drying process with system 1 can take place in a more controlled and more rapid manner.
  • the pressure in the product to be sprayed in the injection pipe can be generated very close to the orifice 43, while the valve body 31 is closed. When there is sufficient pressure, the valve body 31 can be opened and spraying begins almost immediately.
  • the invention it is also possible to replace part of the spray-drying device 11 during production, in order thus to resolve a fault.
  • system 1 does not have to be closed down completely.
  • the clogging up of the orifice 43 and/or of the turbulence chamber/turbulator during production results in an increase in pressure during spraying and, in the prior art, would lead to the process being stopped and the production run being interrupted.
  • the production run can continue and the spray-drying device 11 in question which has a clogged-up orifice 43 can be shut down, while the other clear spray-drying devices can continue to spray as the supply to the blocked spray-drying device can be stopped.
  • the second part 46 can be detached therefrom and be replaced.
  • two injection pipes are present in the spray tower.
  • the active injection pipe is blocked, the spare injection pipe can take over, and the blocked injection pipe can be repaired.
  • the blocked injection pipe is shut down and another injection pipe takes over. Maintenance is then carried out after production has finished.

  • valve 31 according to the invention also replaces a non-return valve in the spray- drying device 11 which may possibly be present. This results in an altogether more efficient switch than is the case in the prior art, where there would be both a non-return valve in spray-drying device 11 and a control valve in the supply injection pipe 7.
