Spray drying is a technology that converts liquids into powder by evaporating water. It is applied to solutions, suspensions, or emulsions, producing powders with defined characteristics such as moisture content and particle size. The process involves spraying the liquid into a chamber with hot air, where drying occurs almost instantly, and collecting the dried material in a cyclone. At ESPANOVA, we use this technology to encapsulate, dry, and tailor products to our clients' exact specifications, enhancing nutrients, foods, pigments, and flavors, ensuring precise and consistent results.

Spray Drying Conditions

If you already know the spray drying conditions, please share them with us. Otherwise, provide the following information:

• Percentage of solids in the solution. 
• Storage conditions (shelf life at room temperature, stability, need for agitation). 
• Quality indicators of the received product. 
  

pH adjustment 

• It is common to receive the product at either a basic or acidic pH for preservation before atomization.
• Please indicate the equivalent grams of acid or base needed to neutralize the solution. 
• We also need to know the shelf life of the mixture once prepared. 
  

Material properties 

• ¿Does specific gravity matter? We will ensure uniform flow during atomization.

• What excipients does it contain? This affects the stability and quality of the final product.

• Is particle size relevant? We will adapt the spray dryer configuration accordingly.

• Does it require a specific type of packaging? Tri-layer, aluminum, or sack.

• Does it oxidize in contact with air? We will consider appropriate protection during the process.

• Is the product heat-sensitive? We will adjust the drying conditions accordingly.

• What is its melting point? This influences the drying temperature.

• Does it contain sugars? This affects viscosity and crystallization during atomization.
