System integrator upgrades spray dryer controls

摘要

A powdered food manufacturer faced the challenge of a major upgrade to the controls of an existing filter belt style spray dryer that had been in service for many years. The dryer's controls and capabilities were falling behind the company's requirements for developing custom solutions for clients. The company's project engineer recognized the large capital expenditure (CAPEX) savings that would be achieved by working with technology partners to retrofit all existing controls as opposed to replacing the entire spray dryer.
