General
-
Spray
drying is a commonly used method of drying a liquid feed through a hot
gas.
-
Typically, this hot gas is air but sensitive materials such as
pharmaceuticals, and solvents like ethanol require oxygen-free drying
and nitrogen gas is used instead.
-
The
liquid feed varies depending on the material being dried and is not
limited to food or pharmaceutical products, and may be a solution,
colloid or suspension. This process of drying is a one step rapid
process and eliminates additional processing.
-
A
company in Denmark is the leader in spray drying technology,
commercially as well as technically.
Technology
-
Three
types of atomizers are used in industrial drying: Rotary , Pressure
Nozzle, Two - fluid nozzle.
-
The
choice of atomizer depends upon the properties of the feed and the dried
product specification.
-
The
application of new techniques in spray drying of final product gives
excellent control of particle size in API production.
Benefits
-
Spray
drying is presently one of the most exciting technologies for the
pharmaceutical industry, being an ideal process where the end-product
must comply to precise quality standards regarding particle size
distribution, residual moisture content, bulk density and morphology.
-
It is
widely used for the manufacture of many consumer and industrial products
such as instant food, laundry detergents, ceramics and agrochemicals,
the growth in pharmaceutical spray drying was driven by a number of
advantages over conventional multiple-step processes and competing
particle reduction technologies.
