Air Bearing Atomizer

Explained in 30 Seconds

How It Works

How The Air Bearing Atomizer (ABA) Works

Conceptually, a thin film of pressurized air “levitates” the shaft of the rotary atomizer, yielding a virtually frictionless operation with true alignment while eliminating worn parts. Unlike established air bearing technology, this new technology’s efficiency and effectiveness is found in Dedert’s proprietary design with novel air distribution mechanisms, which allows the following operational advantages:

  • Oil-Free & Contact-Free
  • Simple & Ultra-Sanitary
  • Sustainable & Energy-Efficient
  • Reliable & Low-Maintenance

4 Reasons Why

Air Bearing Atomizer is Better Than Traditional Atomizers

1. Oil-Free & Contact-Free

This Atomizer is oil and contact-free, running on instrument air with no lubrication system necessary.

2. Simple & Sanitary

The oil-free operation prevents the risk of product contamination for food-grade applications while simplifying maintenance and sanitation requirements. All internal parts are FDA-compliant, featuring stainless-steel construction and a lightweight Titanium disc.

3. Sustainable & Energy-Efficient

The permanent magnet motor technology is 95% efficient and can achieve high power levels and disc-tip speeds, enhancing the sustainability index value and lowering the overall carbon footprint due to reduced energy consumption.

4. Reliable and Low-Maintenance

The robust atomizer has only one moving part, which eliminates premature wear-and-tear, reduces spare parts usage, and lowers maintenance requirements such as bearing changes. In addition, a rotatable maintenance stand is provided for ease of servicing and cleaning.

History of Spray Dryers

Early Days

Samuel Percy, an English chemist, filed the first known patent for a spray dryer was in 1872. However, it wasn't until the early 20th century that the spray dryer became more widely used, primarily in the food industry. During World War II, the process was used to create dried milk for the soldiers.

Modern Spray Dryers

The first modern spray dryer was developed in the 1930s, and it used a rotary atomizer to produce droplets of liquid. Still, back then, they were relatively simple machines. The whole system consisted of a nozzle or atomizer to disperse the liquid into droplets, a hot air source to evaporate the liquid, and a collection system to capture the resulting powder. As the process became more popular, improvements were made to increase efficiency. These improvements came in the form of the use of multiple nozzles to increase the production rate or incorporating cyclones to separate the powder from the air stream, etc. However, this design had limitations in terms of the size and consistency of the droplets produced.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the use of spray drying expanded to other industries, such as pharmaceuticals and chemicals. It’s not only that industries favored spray drying because it allowed for the creation of highly concentrated powders that were more easily transported and stored than their liquid counterparts, but also the fact that air bearing atomizers suddenly came into the picture in the 1950s. They improved the atomization process by using high-velocity air to produce fine droplets. They utilized compressed air to produce a thin film of liquid, which is then broken into droplets by the high-velocity air. Thus, their technology allowed for greater control over the size and consistency of the droplets produced, resulting in more uniform and consistent powders.

Over the years, air bearing atomizers have been further developed and refined to improve their efficiency and reliability. Modern air bearing atomizers use advanced materials and design techniques to achieve high performance and durability. They are now widely used in a range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals, for the production of high-quality powders with specific properties.

Dedert’s Contribution in Spray Drying Tech

As spray dryer technology evolved, they became complicated to maintain and service along with the issue of high power consumption. Fortunately, Dedert's ABA technology provides solutions to these challenges. Our air bearing atomizer is superior to traditional atomizers. It is FDA-compliant and lightweight, with one moving part that requires very low maintenance and spare parts as well as reduced energy consumption. Its rotatable maintenance stand simplifies servicing and cleaning. Dedert's air bearing atomizer thus bring with it sustainability, reliability, easy maintenance and is now the optimal choice for spray drying applications.
