Spray dryers for ceramics and pharma products
When producing high-quality powders for advanced ceramics, polymers, catalysts, and pharmaceutical products, maintaining product integrity and consistency without causing thermal stress is crucial. Traditional drying methods often fail to meet these requirements, posing challenges for industries with sensitive products.

Produces consistent, high-quality powder
The VERSATILE-SD® spray dryer from GEA offers modular design flexibility to produce high-quality powders suitable for ceramics, polymers, catalysts, and pharmaceutical products. The air temperature in the VSD can be adjusted to prevent thermal stress, ensuring consistent powder quality. Its easy operation and cleaning capabilities allow for quick batch switching. Available in sizes ranging from VERSATILE-SD® 6.3 to VERSATILE-SD® 80, it supports various capacities (10-320 kg/h water evaporation). For research and development or pilot projects, GEA offers smaller-scale units like the MOBILE MINOR® and PRODUCTION MINOR®. The VSD’s configurations include cyclone, bag filter, cyclone plus cyclone, cyclone plus bag filter, or cyclone plus scrubber, providing optimal production flexibility. Designed to meet stringent plant and product safety standards, it ensures food ingredients, including flavors and herbal extracts, are dried efficiently and safely.
