Drying Tower System
Our Drying Tower System turns concentrated milk and other heat-sensitive liquids into powder by spray drying. A high pressure pump forces the feed through an atomizer into hot air, and the fine droplets dry in about 10 to 30 seconds. Models cover 70 to 350 kg/h of water evaporation, and the plant is listed under our preparation system equipment.
What is in the plant
A full system usually includes:
- Spray drying tower with atomizer
- Fluidized bed drying stage and vibration sieve
- Blower, air filter and air heater
- Cyclone and exhaust fan
- Concentrated milk tank and high pressure pump
How spray drying protects the product
The atomizer breaks the feed into droplets about 10 to 15 microns wide, which gives a huge surface area. Hot air meets the droplets, the water leaves as steam through the exhaust, and dry powder falls to the base. Because contact time is so short, proteins barely change, whey stays soluble and enzymes stay active. The powder mixes back into water well and keeps its colour, smell and taste.
Drying Tower System sizes and process data
Five sizes are listed, from 70 up to 350 kg/h of water evaporation. Handling capacity runs from 119-182 kg/h on the smallest to 595-910 kg/h on the largest. Common data across the range:
- Feed moisture: 40-60%
- Feed temperature: 55-68 °C
- Steam pressure: 0.7-0.9 MPa
- Inlet air: 160-170 °C
- Exhaust air: 75-85 °C
- Tower negative pressure: 100-200 Pa
Plant size runs from about 11 m long, 7 m wide and 14 m high up to 14 m, 9.5 m and 21.5 m. Contact parts are typically food-grade stainless steel. The specification table below gives each field.
Planning your project
We recommend sending your feed product, solids content and target powder output first. We then confirm the size, steam supply and building height you will need. Most plants feed the tower from a homogenizer and evaporator; see our high pressure homogenizer and the fluidized bed for the after-dryer stage.
Hygiene rules for dairy powder in many markets draw on the Codex Alimentarius food standards.
Export and shipping
We build each Drying Tower System in China and ship it in container loads to buyers in the Philippines, Sri Lanka and beyond, quoted on EXW, FOB, CFR or CIF terms. Our shipping and export documents page covers packing and papers.
