[0026] Pressure gauge 16, pressure gauge 16 is installed on the surface of device main body 17, atomizer 1 is arranged between drying chamber 9 and device main body 17, the output end of peristaltic pump 8 is connected with feed pipe 13.

[0027] Device main body 17, atomizer 1 and peristaltic pump 8 are connected through pipeline.

[0028] Big clamp 2 is arranged between device main body 17 and drying chamber 9.

[0029] No. 2 clamp 11 is arranged between cyclone separator 5 and drying chamber 9.

[0030] No. 3 clamp 14 is arranged between drying chamber 9 and collection pipe 15.

[0031] Locking nut 4 is arranged on tail gas pipe 3.

[0032] Except for atomizer 1, all other components are made of transparent, high-quality, high-temperature resistant borosilicate glass, making the entire spray drying process visible. Atomizer 1 is made of high-precision 316 stainless steel, and the sprayed powder particles are normally distributed with good flowability.

[0033] The feeding speed and the degree of dryness of the material can be controlled by adjusting the rotation speed of the peristaltic pump 8.

[0034] Needle: It has an automatic unblocking function and the frequency is adjustable. It will automatically clear the blockage when the nozzle is blocked to ensure the continuity of the experiment.

[0036] The drying chamber 9, collection bottle 7, cyclone separator 5, and collection pipe 15 are made of high borosilicate glass, which has the characteristics of high transparency and corrosion resistance. The changes of the material during the drying process can be clearly observed, making it easy to adjust the equipment parameters in a timely manner.

[0037] Before starting the machine, connect all components normally; install the atomizer 1 into the main body 17 of the device, connect the air pipe and the air tube, then place the white PTFE pad on the drying chamber 9, hold the drying chamber 9 with both hands, and tighten the large clamp 2; insert the cyclone separator 5 into the upper part of the main body 17 of the device, then adjust the position of the air outlet of the drying chamber 9 and the air inlet of the cyclone separator 5 so that the two outlets are straight and aligned, connect the two outlets with the second clamp 11 and tighten the clamp; then connect the collection bottle 7 and the cyclone separator 5 with the first clamp 6, and connect the collection pipe 15 and the drying chamber 9 with the third clamp 14; install the silicone tube onto the peristaltic pump 8 and insert it into the feed inlet of the spray gun of the atomizer 1; before connecting each interface with clamps, you can first wrap it with raw material tape to prevent powder from floating out of the connection port and causing environmental pollution.
