Additional Information: original product (Artificial Sweetener) design rate Micron Pulverizer/Dryer Micron pulverizer/dryer/classifier is 304SS with (2) 32" x 24" access doors Pulverizing section, is driven by a 50 HP 3/60/460V motor,600 rpm 39.4" diameter Classifying section is driven by a 10HP 3/60/460V motor, 45 to 450 rpm rotor speed. With delumper, live bottom feed bin, Micron/Hosokawa pulverizer/dryer/classifier Original product designed 770 to 925 Lbs/Hr, of 50% solids feed, drying to an end product moisture content of 4%, 0.46 Specific Gravity, and particle size of 100 to 325 mesh Crystals are dropped into a 304SS Jacobson delumper, which discharges into 100 cu ft 304LSS live bottom bin, 60" diameter x 54"SS. 16.4 to 164 rpm with a 3" diameter screw. This feeds into the bottom of the Hosokawa Micron pulverizer/dryer/classifier, and remains in the dryer until the desired particle size is met. The product fineness is accomplished by changing rotor speed of the classifier and air flow. The hot air flows enter the bottom of the dryer with the product con-currently. The dried particles are discharged through a classifier at the top of the dryer Heater not included, but original design was: Inert heating gas inlet temperature is 300 degrees F(149 deg. C); Heating gas outlet temperature is 192 degrees F (90 deg C); Heating gas flow rate is 4,800 SCFM (21, 390 lbs.hr; Maximum Thermal Capacity is 60,700 to 81, 300 BTU/Min; Product outlet Temperature is 90 to 110 degrees F. Con-current air flow design Previous use: Artificial Sweetener No Heater and no controls

Flash dryers excel at quickly drying wet solids, slurries, and pastes by exposing them to a high-velocity hot air stream. This rapid process evaporates moisture almost instantly, leaving behind dried particles that are efficiently separated in a cyclone or bag filter. Known for their compact footprint and fast throughput, flash dryers are indispensable in industries requiring high-speed drying, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, and minerals processing.

These systems are ideal for processing materials such as:

Fine chemical powders
Starch, flour, and protein isolates
Pharmaceutical intermediates
Minerals and clays
Heat-sensitive products requiring rapid drying

Common materials of construction

Flash dryers are typically constructed from:

Stainless steel for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications
Carbon steel for general industrial drying
Specialty alloys for corrosive or abrasive materials

Key features of flash dryers

Rapid drying for high-throughput production
Compact design requiring minimal floor space
Effective handling of slurries, pastes, and fine solids
Precise temperature control for heat-sensitive products
Integrated separation systems for efficient particle collection

Have questions about Flash Dryers or our services? Learn more about our products and why customers choose IPP.

What industries rely most on flash dryers?

Chemical, pharmaceutical, food, mineral, and biotech industries all rely on flash dryers for rapid, high-throughput drying of moisture-rich or heat-sensitive materials.

How do flash dryers compare to rotary and fluid bed dryers?

Flash dryers offer faster drying with lower residence time and smaller footprints, making them ideal for fine powders and thermally sensitive materials. Rotary and fluid beds provide more gentle or extended drying.

What maintenance is required for flash dryers?

Routine checks of air handling systems, ductwork, cyclones, feed systems, and temperature controls help ensure consistent performance and prevent blockages or fouling.

What are the benefits of buying used or secondhand process equipment from IPP?

Buying used from IPP can save up to 70% over new systems, reduce lead times, promote sustainability, and give you access to trusted equipment backed by 47 years of experience.
