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 Air Flow: 8,155 m3/h (4,800 CFM). Evaporation Rate: 349.3 kg/h (770 lb/h). Diameter: 1,100 mm (43.3 in). Pressure: 0.98 bar (14.2 psi). Feeder: Yes. Product Feed Rate: 419.6 kg/h (925 lb/h). Inlet Moisture %: 50. Outlet Moisture %: 4.
