Product Details

This apparatus is designed to transform liquid solutions, suspensions, or slurries into dried powders, granules, or agglomerates by spraying the feed into a stream of hot air. It is used to demonstrate the industrial spray drying process, which provides consistent control over final product properties such as moisture content, particle size, and bulk density. The unit is constructed with stainless steel product contact parts and features an electrical heating system capable of reaching temperatures up to 300°C. Its key components include a nozzle atomizer to create a fine mist of the feed liquid, an insulated drying chamber with a viewing window, and a cyclone separator with a collection bottle for powder recovery. The system is equipped with a variable speed blower and digital temperature controls to precisely manage the drying parameters, ensuring efficient evaporation and particle formation. Its primary applications are in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries for producing powders from heat-sensitive materials like milk, fruit juices, antibiotics, and ceramic precursors. The key benefit is its ability to rapidly and continuously convert liquids into a free-flowing, stable powder with controlled characteristics, making it an essential tool for product development and small-scale production while teaching the principles of thermal processing and particle technology.
