Spray drying
EFFICIENCY & QUALITY
Processing top quality spray dried powders shouldn’t mean having to compromise on efficiency. Our spray dryers are designed to help reduce waste and product loss, boost yield and overall productivity, and of course, give you great results.
Focus on efficiency, and stay in control
We’ve developed a raft of components and systems to help you optimize your spray drying process.
GEA OptiPartner is an advanced process control solution designed to help improve the productivity and efficiency of your powder spray drying plant, and reduce relative energy use. GEA HotSwirl technology can give you more consistent heating, while GEA Clean Purge and CEE cyclone technologies configured into our spray dryers could help increase yield, and potentially reduce consumption of water and chemicals. Our SANICIP® II bag filter and No Intervention Fines Return System (NIFRS) further help to reduce product loss, and improve productivity and final powder quality.
Spray dryer plant upgrades
While our innovations can be built into a new GEA spray drying plant, we may well be able to upgrade your exiting spray dryer, so you could significantly improve your process without having to invest in a new plant.
