Spray dryer for dairy, whey, and plant-based powders
Achieve precise control over powder attributes with our versatile spray drying system, ideal for producing consistent, high-quality dairy, whey, and plant-based powders, enhancing efficiency and flexibility in your production line.
Produces Diverse Powders via Spray Drying
The Tetra Pak® Spray Dryer Wide Body is engineered for food industry leaders seeking consistent, high-quality powder production. This equipment employs a modular spray drying system with a straight tube air distributor for efficient atomization and even air distribution, minimizing energy consumption. It accommodates a variety of applications, producing end-products such as skimmed milk powder, vegan protein, and organic baby formula. Capable of processing up to 30 tonnes per hour, it integrates seamlessly into continuous production lines. Energy is optimized through an exhaust air heat recuperator, reducing overall consumption. Constructed with hygiene and durability in mind, it features a chamber roof cooling system to prevent overheating. The equipment supports CIP systems for easy cleaning and maintenance, ensuring minimal downtime.
