Abstract
The air disperser (4) for a spray drying apparatus has an air inlet (81) leading to a space (45) defined within an inner radius and an outer radius in which a set of guide vanes (7) is positioned. A top, a bottom and an outer circumferential wall are defined, and an air outlet (82) at the inner radius is adapted to be positioned above a feed outlet from atomizing means. Each guide vane (7) has a pre-defined length in the radial direction. At least the bottom and outer wall of said space (45) are provided by a base module (5). The top is provided by a top plate (6) and the set of guide vanes (7) is releasably secured to a fixating device (10, 11) to form a framework, and the framework is secured relative to the base module (5) in the axial direction by the top plate (6).
