Imagine the scene of preparing cow's milk powder: a spoonful of fine powder dissolves immediately upon contact with water. This seemingly simple step is actually the end of a long industrial journey. And a crucial step in this journey is called "spray drying". Whether it's the coffee in your hand, the milk powder for your baby, the powder you drink when you are sick, or the laundry detergent, etc., although they have different uses, they may all have undergone the same wonderful instantaneous transformation from liquid to solid. The core equipment of this transformation is the spray dryer.

Spray dryer is an industrial drying equipment that directly obtains powder or granular products by atomizing liquid materials into tiny droplets and rapidly drying them in hot air. The core principle of spray drying can be divided into four processes: atomization, contact drying, evaporation and separation. The liquid material is dispersed into micron-sized droplets through an atomizer and made to come into instant contact with hot air in the drying tower. The surface area of the droplet increases sharply, and the water within it evaporates and vaporizes rapidly within an extremely short period of time (within seconds), thus directly obtaining dry powder or granular products. The entire process has achieved a continuous transformation from liquid to solid powder

Spray dryers are widely used because they have the advantages of extremely fast drying speed, simple process flow, continuous and automated production, good product quality, easy control, relatively stable operation and easy maintenance. The spray dryer achieves rapid and gentle drying of heat-sensitive materials through the ingenious method of "atomization", and can directly produce high-quality, easily soluble powder products, while meeting the modern industrial demand for continuous and automated production.

Spray dryers are an efficient and universal key drying technology in modern process industries. Its characteristics make it suitable for handling heat-sensitive materials and can retain the flavor, nutrition and biological activity of food to the greatest extent. For this reason, from milk powder, ceramic powder to biological intermediates, spray dryers have always played an indispensable role in numerous industrial fields such as food, chemical, biological and ceramic, serving as a key technical bridge connecting liquid raw materials with high-value solid products
