working of spray dryer

Spray dryer is a specific machine that uses the spray drying technique. There are multiple essential pieces that all come together in order for the process to occur. These may consist of a liquid sprayer, a drying chamber, a source of hot air, and an area to collect the resulting powder. It is the liquid sprayer, which is introducing the spraying into the drying room. Inside this chamber, there is hot air which allows the liquid to dry quickly. The hot air passes through the room, drying up the liquid and taking the already dried particles out of the room. The powder collector then pulls the dry powder out the air stream, leaving the powder separate from the rest of the hot air to be able to have clean, dry powder at the end.

There are some key factors which determines the efficiency of spray drying process. One such property is the thickness of the liquid, or its viscosity. The thickness affects the size of the particles and the time that it takes to dry. For example, depending on how dense the liquid, it will take longer to dry than if the liquid were thinner. The species of hot air we use and its temperature significantly impact the effectiveness of the process as well. If the heated air is either too hot or even too cold, it can adjust both the drying time as well as the quality of the end product.

The conditions of the spray drying process also affect the taste, color and solubility properties in water of the powder. By adjusting the temperature or droplet size, say, we could create a powder that tastes differently or is absorbed more readily in liquids. The control of the final product is what makes spray drying such a powerful technique.

Spray drying in the medical field, for instance, is used to manufacture inhalable medicines, vaccines, and vitamins. Those products must be manufactured in a manner that guarantees they are safe for people to use and will perform as needed. Spray drying is also used in the chemical industry to produce essential materials such as catalysts, polymers, and pigments.
