Over the past 6 months, the Prem Fab team have been working tirelessly to produce this 7 tonne, 8.5 meter, spray dryer from 304L stainless steel, polished to 0.8 RA internal.
This project was commissioned to us last summer by one of the UK’s biggest names in food manufacturing and processing.
An unprecedented increase in demand for powdered food products meant that they needed to expand their production capacity, and so a larger, more robust spray dryer was required.
Spray dryers are process equipment critical to industries including food, pharmaceutical, and chemical, as they possess the ability to transform liquids into powders. They work by atomising the liquid product into find droplets, and then drying them in a Hot Air Chamber, which allows the particles to separate and form a powder. Following this the powder can be collected and cooled to prevent degradation or caking – a form of quality control which ensures the product has a healthy shelf-life.
We are incredibly proud to have worked on this project and are looking forward to the next one.
