Spray Drying Optimization

Reduce your energy consumption, minimize blockages, and improve powder quality with intelligent control of your drying towers.

By combining the power of the SD2P digital twin with Purecontrol dynamic control, you finally have complete control over the humidity, temperature, and performance of your process.

Real-time control of drying towers

Our technology automatically adjusts the operation of the drying tower to improve overall process performance:

Continuous regulation of critical parameters (temperature, humidity, pressure)
Anticipation of deviations to prevent blockages (temperature difference < 6°C)
Reduced energy consumption for drying

Objective:
Reduce energy costs, stabilize powder quality, and improve production reliability

Limit humidity fluctuations

Purecontrol anticipates changes in external parameters affecting the process (weather, ambient humidity, solar production, etc.) with a 12-hour forecast.

This advanced visibility allows the drying process to be adapted to stabilize the powder's moisture content, even under changing conditions.

Fewer fluctuations, a more stable final moisture level.

Preventing excessive powder drying

By stabilizing drying conditions and incorporating cycle history, Purecontrol prevents unnecessary overheating.

The result: more consistent powder quality and a significant reduction in energy losses due to over-processing.

Minimizing blockages at the exit of the lathe

This solution anticipates the risk of blockages by predicting powder temperatures at the lathe exit.

By maintaining the temperature difference within acceptable limits, it ensures reliable process operation and reduces unexpected downtime.

Predictive and intelligent cooling control

Purecontrol continuously analyzes key parameters of the spray drying process: air temperature, residual humidity, powder flow, pressure, and ambient conditions. Based on this data, our model accurately reconstructs the drying tower's behavior.
The solution anticipates temperature and humidity variations, adjusts operating parameters in real time, and ensures controlled drying. The result: consistent powder quality, fewer blockages, and significant energy savings.
