The '''Dispersion Dryers''' are used for drying applications of  wet cakes, pastes, sludges and  production of powders from aqueous  suspension. Due to the dewatering  mechanism, these dryers provide  effective solutions and converted to  either filter cakes, pastes or  sludges. These air dispersion dryers are  chosen on the basis of wet  deed cake particle size distribution of final  powder and drying curve.  The range of air dispersion dryers generally includes  spray dryers,  rotary dryers, flash dryers, spin flash dryers, vibrated  fluid bed  dryers and fluid bed dryer.

===Principle===
==Principle==
A peristaltic pump delivers liquid from the sample container to the 2 fluid nozzle mounted on the drying chamber. Compressed air from the inbuilt compressor is also supplied to the nozzle, resulting in atomization of the liquid into a fine spray. Air from the blower is heated by an electrical air heater and blown through the drying chamber. Due to the large surface area, drying is very rapid, resulting in a sharp drop in temperature. The dry powder particles are separated from the air in the cyclone separator and collected in the glass collection bottle. The exhaust air is directed through a flexible ss hose into the atmosphere. A bag filter can be provided for secondary powder collection.
