Spray dryer for nutritional and dairy powders

Dries and Agglomerates Dairy and Nutritional Powders

The MSD® Spray Dryer from GEA revolutionizes the drying process for dairy and nutritional products by integrating spray and fluid bed drying technologies in a single unit. Designed for dairy producers and food manufacturers, it efficiently processes a variety of formulations, including infant milk formula and protein powders. The system operates through a multi-stage drying process, atomizing liquid feeds into its spray drying chamber, followed by additional drying in the static fluid bed and VIBRO-FLUIDIZER®. With throughput capabilities ranging from 100 kg/h to 30 tonnes/h, it supports continuous and automated operation.

The MSD® is engineered with customization in mind, allowing for tailored configurations of key components such as the air disperser and drying chamber to suit specific recipes and production needs. Its automated, PLC-based control enhances integration with existing production lines, offering remote monitoring and adaptive process adjustments. Energy efficiency is elevated with features like the Clean Purge and heat recovery systems, while its hygienic design meets stringent dairy and nutritional product safety standards, complete with CIP systems for streamlined maintenance and reduced manual cleaning.

Additionally, GEA provides comprehensive support, including process fine-tuning and optimization services. The system is adaptable with GEA’s innovative OptiPartner platform, allowing for significant improvements in energy savings and process stability. Suitable for large-scale operations, the MSD® Spray Dryer is an ideal solution for enhancing powder quality and production efficiency.
