Animated spray dryer, in section, with tagged instruments Liquid feed is pumped to a rotary atomiser at the top of a drying chamber. Hot inlet air at about 180 °C (TI-01) turns the droplet mist into powder, which cools from copper to warm white as it falls into the cone and powder drum (LI-01). Fines travel to a cyclone (PDI-01). Outlet air about 85 °C (TI-02). Atomiser about 15,000 rpm (SI-01). Droplets of about 50 µm dry to particles of about 30 µm (PS-01). The heater glows with the inlet temperature, and the drum is changed when full. Values are typical and illustrative. FEED ATOMISER HEATER CYCLONE POWDER

How spray-drying works

Five steps. One tower.

Liquid in at the top. Powder out at the bottom.

  1. 01

    Feed

    A liquid flavour or emulsion, pumped in at a steady rate.

    Stainless-steel feed and emulsion tanks at the plant
  2. 02

    Atomise

    A spinning disc throws it into a fine mist. SI-01 · ~15,000 rpm

    Spray-dryer hall with drying chamber and cyclone
  3. 03

    Dry

    Hot air meets the mist. Water leaves; flavour stays. TI-01 ~180 °C → TI-02 ~85 °C

    Powder settles in the cone; the cyclone catches the fines.

How an emulsion is made

Oil, water. One cloud.

Two phases in. A fine, stable emulsion out.

  1. 01

    Weigh

    Oil phase: flavour oil and weighting agent. Water phase: water and gum.

    Pre-mix

    A rotor-stator shears the phases together. Coarse · ~10 µm

    Homogenise

    Two high-pressure stages split every droplet. ~200 bar, then ~50 bar

One batch, weigh to fill. Tap a phase to jump.

Animated emulsion line with tagged measurement points An oil phase tank and a water phase tank are weighed and pumped into a pre-mix vessel, where a rotor-stator shears the oil into coarse droplets of about 10 µm. A two-stage high-pressure homogeniser, about 200 bar then 50 bar, breaks them below one micron. The fine, cloudy emulsion is held in a tank, then filled into drums. Values are illustrative.
