Spray Dryer supplied by TrueGlow Imaging

Product Overview

A spray dryer handling 1000 L/H to 30,000 L/H in SUS304, used to produce milk powder and fruit juice powder. Product recovery is no less than 97% and finished particle size is 80 to 120 mesh. The inner cylinder of the spray tower is SUS304 mirror plate no less than 2.5 mm thick, the tower body is insulated, and the outside carries a stainless steel platform, stairs and railings. Product contact surfaces are mirror polished to Ra 0.8 micron or better.

Key benefits

Why Buyers Choose This Specification

Recovery No Less Than 97%

Powder lost to the exhaust is product paid for and not sold. A stated recovery figure above 97% is what makes the operating economics calculable.

Mirror Finish to Ra 0.8 Micron

Powder sticks to any surface roughness it can find. A mirror polished product contact surface is what keeps the tower clean and the product free-flowing.

2.5 mm Minimum Tower Plate

Tower plate thickness is a real cost difference between suppliers and it is published here rather than left vague.

Access Platform Supplied

Stainless steel platform, stairs and railings come with the tower, which is what makes routine inspection and cleaning possible.

Application scenarios

Where It Is Used

  • Producing whole and skimmed milk powder
  • Fruit juice powder production
  • Drying concentrated product after evaporation
  • Producing instant powder for beverage manufacture
  • Powder production for export in bulk
  • Converting seasonal liquid product into a shelf-stable powder
Who it is for

The Buyers This Product Suits

Milk Powder Plants

Milk powder is the primary application, and recovery rate is what determines yield per litre of milk processed.

Juice Powder Producers

Fruit juice powder converts a perishable liquid into a tradeable ambient ingredient.

Plants Concentrating Before Drying

The dryer pairs with the evaporator, which removes most of the water more cheaply first.

Problems it solves

What It Fixes

Powder Lost to the Exhaust

A recovery rate of no less than 97% sets a measurable limit on that loss.

Powder Sticking Inside the Tower

Mirror plate at Ra 0.8 micron or better on product contact surfaces is what reduces deposition.

Inconsistent Particle Size

Finished particle size is stated at 80 to 120 mesh, which is what downstream packing and instantising depend on.

How It Ships And What Comes With It

Packing And Loading

Shipping volume for this item depends on the configuration and capacity you select, so no fixed container figure is published. Confirm the specification and the destination and a loading plan is issued with the quotation, rather than a figure we cannot support.

Documentation On File

Sourcing And Inspection

This product is supplied through TrueGlow Imaging, working with manufacturing partners whose facilities are visited and verified rather than taken on trust. In-process quality control and delivery supervision are available so goods are inspected before the container is sealed. Certifications quoted on this page are those stated on the product specification and belong to that product range rather than to our trading entity, so ask for the certificate covering your specific item.

Handling guide

Getting It Right First Time

Step 1

Concentrate the feed on an evaporator first, since evaporation removes water far more cheaply than drying.

Step 2

Confirm the target particle size against the 80 to 120 mesh range.

Step 3

Size the air heating and dehumidification system to your local climate.

Step 4

Plan powder handling and packing directly at the tower outlet.

Step 5

Schedule tower inspection using the supplied platform and stairs.

Spray drying against freeze drying for powder.

Alternatives to Spray Dryer
Spray Dryer1000 to 30,000 L/H, recovery above 97%, 80-120 mesh powder. Far lower cost per kilo, suited to milk and juice powder at volume.
Freeze DryerPreserves colour, flavour and structure best, at much higher capital and energy cost per kilo.

Guides That Cover This Product

Pasteurisation Versus UHT for Liquid Dairy

Three thermal profiles, three different machines and three different distribution models. Which one your plant needs is decided by shelf life and cold chain, not by capacity.

Specifying a CIP System That Actually Cleans

A cleaning cycle that runs without flow cleans nothing and reports success. Conductivity monitoring, flow switches and return pump selection are what make CIP verifiable.
