Lab Scale Spray Dryer

Lab scale spray dryer

Mini spray dryers, also known as laboratory spray dryers or benchtop spray dryers, are smaller versions of spray dryers used in research, development, and small-scale production in laboratory environments.Similar to large spray dryers, spray dryers work by spraying liquid or slurry into a drying chamber and exposing it to a stream of hot air, converting it into a dry powder. However, mini spray dryers are specifically designed to handle smaller volumes of feed and operate at lower capacities than their industrial-scale counterparts.

How lab scale spray dryer works

1. Atomization: Liquid samples are atomized into fine droplets using a nozzle or atomizer within the dryer.
2. Hot Air Contact: The atomized droplets come into contact with a stream of hot air within the drying chamber.
3. Drying Process: Rapid evaporation of moisture occurs as the hot air extracts moisture from the droplets.
4. Particle Formation: As moisture evaporates, dried particles or powder are formed from the previously liquid droplets.
5. Airborne Transport: Airflow carries the dried particles to the collector or cyclone separator.
6. Powder Collection: The collected powder is then separated from the airflow and accumulated for further processing or analysis

Lab scale spray dryer applications
