Spray bed dryer for agglomerated powder production
Efficiently transform liquid feedstock into consistent, dust-free powders with precise control over particle size, meeting the stringent demands of food, chemical, and pharmaceutical production.

Agglomerates and Dries Industrial Powders
The Spray Bed Dryers from Anhydro are engineered to provide precise drying and agglomeration for industries such as food, chemical, and pharmaceutical. These dryers operate by atomizing the product into a fine spray that mixes with recycled fines, optimizing particle size with secondary air flows and integrated fluid beds. Ideal for applications including protein powders, yeast products, and detergents, they ensure a dust-free, agglomerated output. With a capacity range from 5 kg/h to 10 t/h, they support continuous and high-speed operations. The Spray Bed Dryers offer high thermal efficiency and can be configured in open or closed cycle systems, using inert gas to minimize oxidation. Available in materials suited to various industry standards, they also feature CIP systems for ease of maintenance and meet compliance for hygienic operations in sensitive environments. Customizable designs ensure the dryers meet specific processing requirements, supported by engineering expertise from Anhydro.
