Spray Dryer
A spray dryer atomises a liquid or suspension into droplets within a drying chamber. Contact with a drying gas evaporates liquid and leaves particles that are recovered downstream.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Spray drying is an industrial process for dehydration of a liquid feed containing dissolved and/or dispersed solids, by transforming that liquid into a spray of small droplets and exposing these droplets to a flow of hot air. The very large surface area of the spray droplets causes evaporation of the water to take place very quickly, converting the droplets into dry powder particles.
Atomiser type, feed properties and gas conditions affect droplet size, drying behaviour and powder structure. Inlet temperature is not identical to particle temperature.
Wall deposition, fines recovery and outlet moisture affect yield and operability. Sensitive products require coordination of residence time and thermal exposure.
What turns activity into demand
Spray dryers turn liquid feeds into powders through atomisation, heat transfer and particle collection.
The commercial boundary
Separate dryer systems from feed preparation, packaging and the powder produced.
