Versatile spray dryer for dairy and plant-based powders
Achieve precise moisture control and optimal powder functionality across a diverse range of products with this versatile spray dryer, tailored for demanding production environments in dairy and plant-based industries.
Produces and Agglomerates Dairy and Plant-Based Powders
The Tetra Pak® Spray Dryer Wide Body is an advanced drying solution that enables continuous production of diverse powders, including dairy, plant-based, and infant formula, with a capacity range of 1 to 30 tonnes per hour. Featuring a straight tube air distributor with a high-pressure nozzle assembly, it ensures even drying air distribution while minimizing energy consumption. The modular design allows for scalability, maintaining optimal atomization as capacity increases. Ideal for applications requiring fine particle agglomeration and instantization, this system supports multiple stages including drying, cooling, and mixing. Efficient integration into production lines is achieved through customizable multiple feed systems and a middle pressure fines transport system, ensuring constant operation and reduced downtimes. Compliant with industry standards, it incorporates hygienic design elements and includes a bag filter for optimal particle separation and minimal emissions. Automated monitoring systems enhance operational safety and precision, meeting stringent quality requirements across food, dairy, and nutritional product industries.
