Spray Drying
Spray drying is the atomisation of a liquid feed into spray droplets that are then dried immediately with hot air in a drying chamber. By controlling the process carefully it is possible to manage the characteristics of the resulting powder precisely to meet the manufacturing requirements.
Spray drying is highly suited for the continuous production of dry solid in either powder, granulate or agglomerated form from liquid, aqueous or non-aqueous solution, suspensions or emulsions. It is the ideal when the end product must comply with precise quality standards relating to particle size distribution, residual moisture content, bulk density and particle shape.
The Niro Test Centre includes eleven spray drying technologies all available for customers’ use for evaluating processes or for short run manufacturing projects.
