Permeate powder spray dryer

Processes Permeate and Whey into Non-Caking Powders

The Tetra Pak® Spray Dryer Prolac is a sophisticated solution tailored for the production of high-quality permeate powders, commonly used in infant formulas, protein supplements, and whey-based nutraceuticals. This fully automatic spray dryer ensures consistent results by integrating seamlessly with your production line, including evaporation, crystallisation, and powder handling stages. With a capacity range of 3 to 8 tonnes of powder output per hour, it efficiently processes cheese whey and milk permeates. Featuring a modular design, it allows for the deployment of multiple venturi air distributors as capacity needs increase, optimizing energy consumption. Its precise control mechanisms, including a spray monitoring system, maintain optimal spray patterns and prevent product buildup, maximizing operational efficiency. The dryer also incorporates advanced features such as a chamber roof cooling system to minimize deposits, and a crystallisation belt for controlled lactose processing, ensuring minimal protein denaturation. Its hygienic design supports easy cleaning, while engineering support from Tetra Pak ensures tailored solutions for varying production demands.
