Abstract:
A spray drying system for drying liquid into powder including a plurality of processing towers each including an elongated drying chamber, a spray nozzle assembly at an upper end of the drying chamber and a powder collection chamber at a lower end of the drying chamber. The powder collection chamber of each processing tower being configured to discharge power to a common conveyor system.

Claim (Index 1):
A spray drying system for drying liquid into powder comprising:\n a plurality of processing towers, each processing tower comprising:\n an elongated body supported in an upright position; \n a closure arrangement at opposite upper and lower ends of the elongated body for forming a drying chamber within said elongated body; \n a liner disposed within said elongated body in spaced relation to an inner wall surface of the elongated body for defining an internal drying zone with said elongated body; \n one of said closure arrangements including a drying gas inlet for coupling to a drying gas source and for directing drying gas into said drying zone; \n an electrostatic spray nozzle assembly supported in one of the closure arrangements; \n said electrostatic spray nozzle assembly including a nozzle body having a liquid inlet for coupling to a supply of liquid, a discharge spray tip assembly at a downstream end for directing liquid to be dried into said drying zone and an electrode for coupling to an electrical source for electrically charging liquid passing through said spray nozzle assembly into said drying zone; and \n said lower end closure arrangement including a powder collection chamber for collecting powder dried in said drying zone; and \n a common conveyor system wherein said powder collection chamber of each processing tower is configured to discharge powder to the common conveyor system.
