R&d spray drying solution for small batch production
Efficiently convert liquid solutions into precise, uniform powders for R&D or small-scale production, perfect for developing new formulations or testing product variations with flexible, scalable technology.
Transforms Liquids into Consistent Powdered Products
The PRODUCTION MINOR Spray Dryer from GEA is an adaptable solution for R&D and small-scale production needs. It excels in versatility, using interchangeable atomization and powder discharge systems to optimize drying processes for a range of liquid inputs. Ideal for producing instant coffee, powdered milk, and pharmaceuticals, it manages drying, evaporation, atomization, and powder discharge efficiently. Capable of evaporating 5 to 30 kg/h of water, it supports small-batch production with precision. The dryer integrates seamlessly into existing operations with its compact 4.4 x 2 x 2.7 m footprint. Configurable options cater to both aqueous and solvent-based requirements, with explosion protection and CIP systems ensuring safe, contamination-free cleaning. Its stainless-steel construction offers robust chemical resistance, while compliance with industry standards makes it suitable for food-grade applications.
