4.6 Spray chilling accessory
During spray chilling a hot melt is dispersed into a cold gas stream. The droplets are solidified into
particles and are separated. The matrix substance and the active ingredients are heated above the
melting point. Highest melting point is 70 °C. The nozzle is also heated to prevent any blocking. No
additional thermostat is required, as the existing heating control and peristaltic pump in the instrument
are used. If the sample has a low melting point, then the inlet air is cooled to increase the temperature
gradient. If lower temperatures than 10 °C (provided by the B-296) are used, e.g. for hard fats, the
inlet air can be cooled to –5 °C by using a specially developed refrigeration unit (please contact your
local distributor.
