Yamato GB210B Versatile Granulation Spray Dryer

Overview

The Yamato GB210B Versatile Granulation Spray Dryer is a combination of the basic unit GB210 and the GF200 pulvis mini-bed attachment and incorporates fluid bed drying technology made for sophisticated granulation of powder and drying of wet powder. The unit can be used for spray drying by installing the mini spray attachment GF300 (optional). The chamber is made of ultra hard glass and the unit includes an automatic lift for installation or removal of the glass chamber attachment. Temperature control is PID digital with a touch panel and K thermocouple sensor; inlet temperature setting range is 40 to 2200C and outlet temperature setting range is 0 to 980C with inlet temperature accuracy ±10C. Heater power is 2.0 kW (at 200V) to 2.88 kW (at 240V) and external output signals include inlet temperature, outlet temperature, and temperature output (4-20 mA). Spraying system is a two-way nozzle with Nozzle No. 1A as standard, spray air pressure adjusting range 0 to 0.3 MPa, drying air amount adjusting range 0 to 0.7 m9/min, and liquid sending pump flow rate range 0 to 26 mL/min using a fixed amount peristaltic pump; a spraying air compressor is used separately. The suction blower is a bypass blower with a brushless DC motor and the unit includes suction and exhaust filters. Safety and connectivity features include inlet/outlet temperature overheat protection, sample feed reverse rotation mechanism, over current electric leakage breaker, nozzle connection error detection, and a service outlet for stirrer AC100V Max. 2A. External dimensions are 760 x 420 x 1350 mm, weight ~110 kg, and power supply Single Phase AC200V~240V 50/60Hz 16~18A (switching of terminals necessary). Included accessories: Silicon tube (with a stopper) x 3, tiron tube (with a stopper) x 2, exhaust duct (with one hose band) x 1, outlet temperature sensor, spray air tube, sample box, static electricity removal earth, Teflon braided hose 5m (with two hose bands), and a container table. The product description states the GB210B is made for sophisticated granulation and drying of wet powder and, when fitted with the optional GF300 mini spray attachment, can perform spray drying.
