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).

AN AIR DISPERSER FOR SPRAY-DRYING, AND A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN AIR DISPERSER COMPRISING METAL FORMING
In the air disperser (4) having a number of components including a top, a bottom and an outer circumferential wall forming a space (45) defined within an inner radius and an outer radius and having an air inlet (81), a set of guide vanes (7), and an air outlet (82) at said inner radius adapted to be positioned above a feed outlet from atomizing means, at least some of said components are formed by precision metal forming such as metal spinning.
