The unique feature of a spray dryer is the surface area per unit weight generated by atomization of the liquid feed. It is this fact that enables a spray dryer to work. For example, feed atomized to 100 micron average droplet size generates approximately 15,400 ft2/lb of surface area. The same feed atomized to an average of 20 micron generates approximately 77,021 ft2/lb! This is like spreading one gallon of feed over 14 football fields!

OF SPRAY DRYING, AND DEMAND IS GROWING
IN PROPORTION. HOW WOULD YOU SELECT A
SPRAY DRYER THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR
YOUR FOOD TYPE AS A SPRAY DRYER
SUPPLIER? IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY,
DIFFERENT TYPES OF DRYERS WITH VARYING
DRYING STAGES HAVE VARIOUS ROLES.

4. OPTIMIZATION
There are three common methods for
optimizing the spray dryer. To begin
with, it is done in order to increase
the quality and yield of the final
product.
The inlet, exit, and feed temperatures
may all be adjusted to achieve this.
Second, optimization is necessary to
avoid production losses, such as those
caused by Clean in Place (CIP).

5. ENHANCING YOUR
ABILITIES
The amount of water evaporated by the spray
dryer is determined at the moment of wet
product loading to determine its capacity. For
optimum evaporation, the temperature
differential between the input and exit needs to
be increased.

6. CIP NOZZLE VALVE’S
RETRACTABLE DESIGN
They do not function at extremely high
intake temperatures, even though higher
inlet temperatures improve energy
efficiency. Because a particular output
temperature might cause build-up in
spray dryer vessels.

7. IMPROVED RUN TIME
A good optimum production should operate on
a well-planned schedule with very little or no
unexpected downtime. A feed system that is
frequently swapped between products and
batches has to be cleaned regularly. However,
spray drying for allergens and cleaning between
allergen production batches should be closely
monitored.

8. To avert a fire or explosion due to a
build-up of too much material.
Cross-contamination and quality
issues will arise as a result of the
excessive buildup.
In order to keep the chamber free of
microbial development.
To get rid of any maintenance
difficulties that aren’t really essential.
CLEANING IN
PLACE

9. AMBIENT CONDITIONS
As previously stated, seasonal fluctuation has a
significant impact on the spray dryer’s
effectiveness. As a result, it’s critical to
standardize the entering air for year-round
productivity. The total moisture in the air as it
exits the chamber limits the dryer’s capacity.
For or while manufacturing a stable product,
the air exiting the chamber should not be too
wet, since this might result in a clumsy
outcome. Furthermore, the chamber should be
operated at the highest overall moisture level
feasible to achieve optimum effectiveness.
