Sproeidroger
PRODUCTION MINOR™ sproeidroger
De capaciteit van de PRODUCTION MINOR™ sproeidroger maakt hem tot de ideale sproeidroger voor onderzoek en ontwikkeling, voor de productie van monsters in samenhang met de ontwikkeling en het testen van producten alsmede voor de productie van kleine hoeveelheden.
Developing the optimum spray drying process for larger-scale R&D or for small scale production requires safe, reliable equipment that is adaptable, and gives you reproducible, high-quality results, whatever your product, process, and feed type.
We’ve developed the PRODUCTION MINOR spray dryer as a great option when smaller scale units can’t quite meet capacity, but when you don’t need a larger commercial scale plant.
Ideal for larger-scale R&D spray drying
The GEA PRODUCTION MINOR spray dryer gives you the freedom carry out R&D and test processes at small commercial scale, as well as move on to manufacture for market your finished products at relatively small scale. Our versatile system can be ideal when you need larger volumes for product development, when it wouldn’t be cost effective to run a bigger, industrial spray dryer, or when you only need occasional or smaller batches of niche products. With regulatory compliant sanitary design as standard, the PRODUCTION MINOR is a go-to technology for our global customers in the food, chemicals and pharmaceuticals sectors.
