gasfor the food industrylaboratory

Product overview
Spray drying is a rapid and efficient technology to atomize solid/liquid solutions or slurry with different viscosities, producing engineered powders with very precise particle size through the use of patented nozzles.

Main advantages

• High purity end product
• Engineered powders with very precise particle size (down to <10 µm) characterized by high flowability, solubility and dispersibility, enabling easier handling and storage
• Process repeatability

Solutions provided
NTE Process delivers varied solutions including complete plants, retrofitting of existing plants, pilot scale and laboratory spray dryers. Standard machines are complemented by a range of closed-cycle nitrogen spray dryers suitable for handling highly explosive powders and solvents. NTE Process also offers an innovative range of Spray Bag Dryers featuring a fabric drying chamber to eliminate metal contamination for specialist material applications.
