Niro will feature an animation showing the process and the features of the advanced Integrated Filter Dryer (IFD™). Niro has further developed and refined the versatility and success of the MSD™ by introducing the CIP-able SANICIP™ bag filter. The location of the filter assembly inside the drying chamber improves powder quality and gives total in-place powder recovery and cleaning capability. The combination of the integrated fluid bed and filter arrangement also simplifies the powder handling. Niro will also show an animation about the new features and benefits of the SWIRL FLUIDIZER™. The SWIRL FLUIDIZER™ is an agitated flash dryer for drying of pastes, filter cakes, sludges, slurries and viscous liquids into powder in one efficient step. Although the SWIRL FLUIDIZER™ originally was designed to dry products like pigment, kaolin clay and various chemicals it has lately been successfully applied to dry meat and sticky slaughterhouse bi-products into valuable products.
