Spray drying

Spray drying is a process used to transform liquids or slurries into fine powders. It involves spraying the liquid into a hot chamber, where the moisture rapidly evaporates, leaving behind dry particles. These particles are then collected, resulting in a powder that retains the original liquid's properties. This method is commonly used in food production (like instant coffee), pharmaceuticals, and chemicals because it allows for efficient, large-scale drying with precise control over particle size and quality. Spray drying is valued for producing stable, easy-to-transport powders with consistent characteristics.
