Sometimes going back to basics of using best practice and maximizing feed solids, dryer inlet temperature and dryer outlet temperature will get a significant capacity boost.

Spray dryers for milk powder are a key investment for many dairy production facilities. With butter and milk powder prices continuing to trend upwards here at the end of 2019, the efficient and effective processing of milk into dairy powders comes into focus again.

Some dairy plant managers try to save money by minimizing their spare parts inventory and overtime. In many cases this might be a good thing, but when it comes to responding to a down time situation, this concept could cost the plant a lot of very valuable run time.

Evaporation and spray drying were developed long ago as methods to allow safer long-term storage of perishable food products such as milk, thereby enabling excesses in local or seasonal production to be traded.
