Disclosed is a spray drying system and process for encapsulating a core material, such as a volatile flavor oil, within a carrier or wall material. The process is achieved by atomizing a liquid emulsion comprising the core material, the wall material, and a liquid solvent, applying a high-voltage, low-current, high frequency alternating-current charge or a high-voltage, low-current, low frequency alternating-current charge at the site of atomization, and drying the atomized emulsion into an encapsulated, free-flowing powder. Applying a high-voltage, low current alternating-current at the site of atomization allows the spray drying to be accomplished at significantly reduced temperatures, in particular, at inlet temperatures in the range of 25° C. to 150° C., and outlet temperatures in the range of 25° C. to 110° C. The low drying temperatures impart improvements in the resulting encapsulated powdered product, including better retention of volatile flavor components, a flavor profile comparable to that of the starting liquid formulation, and better hydration and dissolution in water-based applications.

The present invention aims to provide a method for producing granules for ceramic production, the method having high productivity and making it possible to obtain a ceramic which, when produced by press molding the granules and firing the resulting press molded product, has physical properties kept from lowering. The present invention is characterized by including: a slurry preparation step of preparing a slurry including a mixture containing a powder of an inorganic compound, a binder, and a solvent; a granulation step of introducing the slurry into a spray drying device to form a granulated substance containing the inorganic compound; an exhaust step of exhausting an atmospheric gas within the spray drying device via a cyclone having a surface made of ceramic; and a step of mixing a fine powder, which has been recovered by the cyclone during the exhaust step, with the granulated substance obtained in the granulation step.

A dual-airflow cyclone flash drying device includes a feeding device, a fluidizing cyclone generator and a drying cylinder. The fluidizing cyclone generator is connected with the drying cylinder through a central connecting pipe. The tail end of the feeding device is provided with a porous plate doser that is connected with the central connecting pipe. The fluidizing cyclone generator adopts lateral air supply, air forms a cyclone along the circular outer wall to enter the central connecting pipe. A drying cyclone generator is arranged at the lower portion of the drying cylinder. The drying cyclone generator adopts lateral air supply, and after forming a cyclone, air spirally rises to make contact with fluidized granular sludge to evaporate sludge moisture into water vapor. A particle size selector is arranged at the upper portion of the drying cylinder, and an outlet flue is arranged above the particle size selector.
