Spray dryers and agglomerators are specialized types of machinery designed for the dehydration of liquid substances into fine powders and the consolidation of powdered materials into larger, more cohesive forms, respectively. These machines are widely utilized in various industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, to facilitate the production of products such as milk powder, instant coffee, and powdered medications. By employing a combination of heat and mechanical processes, these machines efficiently handle the conversion of liquid inputs into easily manageable, storable, and transportable powder forms, or enhance the properties of powdered substances for improved solubility and dispersion in liquids.

Typical products and applications include:

• Milk and dairy liquids: Transformed into milk powder or whey protein powder using spray dryers
• Instant coffee and tea: Processed with agglomerators to create granules that dissolve more easily in water
• Infant formula and nutritional drinks: Spray-dried to maintain shelf stability and nutrient content
• Flavorings and food additives: Converted into powder form for easy blending into other dry mixes
• Pharmaceuticals or supplements: Spray-dried or agglomerated for accurate dosing and improved solubility

Additional Considerations:

• Improves product shelf life: Converts perishable liquids into dry, stable forms for long-term storage
• Enhances solubility and mixing: Agglomerated powders dissolve more quickly and evenly in liquids
• Supports sanitary processing: Built to meet food-grade or pharmaceutical-grade hygiene standards
• Scalable for production needs: Available in lab-scale units for testing and large systems for continuous production
• Reduces product handling challenges: Powdered outputs are easier to package, store, and transport
