A Spray Dryer is a continuous drying system used to convert liquid, slurry, or paste feed into dry powder by atomizing the feed into a hot air stream. The fine droplets created by a nozzle or rotary atomizer rapidly lose moisture due to high heat and mass transfer, resulting in uniform powder with controlled particle size and moisture content. Spray Dryers are engineered for precise control of inlet and outlet temperatures, making them suitable for heat-sensitive products and large-scale industrial production.
