Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

1. Material Overview

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is widely used in home kitchens and the catering industry, and is an indispensable seasoning in people's daily lives. It has a significant flavor-enhancing effect, making it perfectly suited for various scenarios such as catering and food processing, adding unique flavors to all kinds of cuisines.

2. Process Flow

The wet MSG from the upstream process is fed into the airflow dryer through the dispersing device and feeding screw conveyor.

Ambient air, after being filtered, is mixed with recycled drying exhaust gas. After being pressurized by blower and heated by heater, it enters the airflow dryer. Inside the dryer, the wet material undergoes heat and mass exchange with the hot air, increasing its temperature and removing moisture. The dried product is carried by the hot air into a cyclone and bag filter for collection. The powder collected by the bag filter is centrally treated.

3. Technical Advantages

1) The airflow dryer utilizes high-speed hot airflow to directly contact with material particles, achieving extremely high heat and mass transfer efficiency. It can complete the drying process in a very short time (usually from a few seconds to tens of seconds), with strong processing capacity of a single machine, making it suitable for large-scale continuous production.

2) The material is suspended in a high-speed airflow, fully mixed with hot air, and evenly heated. After drying, the moisture content of the product is stable and uniform, effectively ensuring the crystal form and whiteness of the MSG.

4. Technical Benefit

(1) Improved drying efficiency

The airflow dryer can significantly shorten the drying cycle of MSG, enhance the overall processing capacity of the production line, help customers in producing more products with same period of time, swiftly respond to market demands, and generate higher output value.

(2) Reduced production costs

Through efficient heat transfer and waste heat recovery, steam and electricity consumption is effectively controlled. High automation reduces the number of operators and labor intensity; the equipment structure is simple, with a low failure rate and low maintenance costs; the equipment is compact, saving valuable factory space and reducing land and infrastructure investment.
