GEA Niro offers a comprehensive product range for drying of tannins. Whether your feedstock is a synthetic or natural material, we master a broad range of solutions designed to fulfil the most demanding requirements.
Spray drying provides an easy way to preserve the activity of the tannins materials. The spray dried powder can be re-dispersed in water for use in the tannin process. GEA Niro recommends co-current flow SD with high-speed rotating atomizer wheel or nozzle towers. Further, we supply powder conveying and agglomeration systems. All are designed to meet the precise needs of each customer.

GEA Niro is able to meet the strictest requirements to efficiency, safety and environmental compliance
Since many tannins include hazardous ingredients, GEA Niro’s drying plants are designed to meet the strictest standards when it comes to explosion and emission control systems. GEA Niro’s vast experience within these areas is unequalled and also an invaluable aid when it comes to complying with international safety directives like ATEX, other European safety directives and/or local regulations. GEA Niro offers:
- Plants with highly effective filters and scrubbers to ensure exhaust of clean process air
- Semi closed plants utilising low oxygen combustion gas as process air to prevent explosions
- Semi closed plants, self-inertised and featuring incineration of exhaust air
- Closed cycle plants utilising nitrogen as process gas circuits
- Pressure shock resistant plants designed with either suppression or pressure relief to protect the equipment and personnel
Even if your tannins are corrosive or abrasive, GEA Niro offers a solution that protects parts in contact with the product and feed/product handling systems. This ensures your plant’s durability and trouble-free operation.
Cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems, semi- or fully automatic, are available for all GEA Niro plants. Efficient cleaning allows for more uptime and makes colour interchangeability easy and efficient.
