Spray Drying and Powder Engineering
Laboratory-scale spray drying to convert solutions, suspensions and emulsions into free-flowing, spherical powders with controlled particle size and moisture.
In short
Laboratory-scale spray drying to convert solutions, suspensions and emulsions into free-flowing, spherical powders with controlled particle size and moisture. The spray drying service is carried out on a Unopex B15 laboratory spray dryer. The liquid feed is atomised through a nozzle into hot air, where droplets dry within seconds into spherical particles collected in a cyclone.
The spray drying service is carried out on a Unopex B15 laboratory spray dryer. The liquid feed is atomised through a nozzle into hot air, where droplets dry within seconds into spherical particles collected in a cyclone. Inlet and outlet temperature, feed rate, atomisation pressure and solids content are optimised for the target particle size, moisture, bulk density and yield. Applications include drying heat-sensitive ingredients at low outlet temperature, microencapsulating actives in polymer or sugar matrices, granulating nanoparticle suspensions and spheroidising ceramic powders for pressing. The service answers whether a formulation can be spray dried, where the process window lies and what morphology results; products can be characterised by particle size, SEM and moisture analysis. It serves food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, ceramic, catalyst and nanomaterial organisations.

How it works
Request and scoping
Feed composition, solvent, thermal sensitivity, target powder properties and quantity are agreed; initial process parameters are proposed.
Sample reception and preparation
The feed liquid is logged, homogenised and filtered; the dryer is cleaned and the nozzle and cyclone assembly checked.
Measurement
Drying is run at the defined parameters; outlet temperature and powder formation are monitored and parameters adjusted during the run if necessary.
Reporting
The powder is collected, weighed and delivered with the process record; yield and product properties are discussed with you on request.
