What is the Mini Spray Dryer?
The mini spray dryer is a compact spray drying apparatus that dries materials by atomising liquids and converting them into powder. It performs the same function as conventional spray dryers but in a smaller, more manageable format. This enables its use for small-batch projects. Benefiting from finer parameter adjustment and cost-effectiveness, you can use it across diverse applications, including chemical and pharmaceutical processing, food and beverage production, and laboratory work.
Key Components of a Mini Spray Dryer
Feed System
The feed system incorporates a pump designed to convey liquid materials to the mini spray dryer, thereby ensuring a stable material supply. A high-quality feed system effectively prevents blockages and material wastage.
Atomiser
The atomiser serves to atomise materials into a fine mist of droplets before drying. This significantly enhances the material’s thorough contact with hot air within the drying chamber, thereby improving drying efficiency. Furthermore, it promotes more uniform drying whilst preventing material agglomeration and caking.
Drying Chamber
The drying chamber is equipped with a heater that maintains the circulating air at a high temperature, evaporating moisture from the material to achieve drying. You may adjust the airflow rate according to the material to prevent excessive airflow, causing material carry-over or insufficient airflow resulting in unsatisfactory drying efficiency.
Separator
Miniature spray dryers typically employ cyclone separators or bag filters to separate dried material particles from the air. Cyclone separators utilise centrifugal force to eject and collect material particles, whilst bag filters capture particles through filtration. These separators maximise material yield.
Exhaust System
Moisture evaporated within the mini spray dryer must be promptly expelled; otherwise, it will result in reduced drying efficiency and material contamination. Some models of mini spray dryers incorporate a heat recovery system within their exhaust system to enable the reuse of heat, thereby achieving greater energy efficiency.
How does the Mini Spray Dryer Work？
Feed Preparation
Mini spray dryers can process liquid mixtures, solutions, slurries, semi-solids and similar materials. To enhance drying efficiency, it is advisable to pre-treat the material beforehand, such as by diluting it or adjusting its viscosity. You may also incorporate surfactants or stabilisers into the material to prevent degradation of the dried product.
Atomization
Upon operation of the mini spray dryer, the material is pumped into the apparatus. It is then subjected to high pressure, forcing it through the nozzle for atomisation, or directly atomised using centrifugal force via a centrifugal atomiser. The atomised material assumes a fine mist state, significantly increasing its surface area. This facilitates more thorough and efficient subsequent drying.
Droplet-Air Contact
The atomised material enters a high-temperature drying chamber, where moisture within the fine mist evaporates, transforming it into dry material particles. Air within the drying chamber circulates to maintain optimal temperature and humidity conditions for drying. You must consider droplet size and material composition to select an appropriate temperature, preventing inefficient drying at excessively low temperatures or material wastage due to particle degradation at excessively high temperatures.
Particle Separation
Once the material particles are fully dried, they must be separated from the air via a collector. Options available include cyclone separators and bag filters. After collecting the material particles, you may proceed with subsequent processing.
Benefits of Mini Spray Dryers
Compact Design
The foremost advantage of the mini spray dryer is its compact structure, which occupies minimal space. This enables its deployment in projects with limited space. It can even be placed on a laboratory bench. Its compact design facilitates straightforward installation and setup, allowing for effortless configuration and operation.
Precise Control
The mini spray dryer offers enhanced process monitoring capabilities. It enables more precise control over drying efficiency, moisture content and particle size, thereby ensuring product quality.
Wide Applicability
The mini spray dryer is suitable for drying a wide range of materials, including emulsions, solutions, and suspensions across various industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing. Furthermore, it is also appropriate for drying heat-sensitive materials.
Cost Effectiveness
Owing to its smaller dimensions and greater energy efficiency compared to standard spray dryers, the mini spray dryer incurs lower initial costs, maintenance expenses, and operational expenditures. Moreover, its high-performance drying capability delivers enhanced returns. Consequently, it offers outstanding cost-effectiveness for small-batch drying projects.
Applications of Mini Spray Dryers
Food and Beverage
Food and beverage products such as tea leaves, protein powder, instant coffee, spices, and milk powder can be dried using mini spray dryers. Spray dryers ensure strict hygiene standards, enhancing food safety. Furthermore, the conversion into granules after drying extends both storage and usage lifespans.
Pharmaceuticals
Should you be seeking an appropriate solution for pharmaceutical drying, the mini dryer is well-suited. It enables precise temperature and moisture control, ensuring pharmaceutical compliance. Moreover, it is ideal for drying temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, maintaining drying efficiency while preventing product degradation.
Chemical Industry
The mini dryer is also well-suited for drying bleaching agents, catalysts, pigments, metal powders and similar materials. It delivers efficient drying and consistent quality control, thereby ensuring the reactivity of chemical substances.
Agriculture
You can also utilise the mini spray dryer in the processing of agricultural materials such as plant and animal growth promoters, pesticides, and nutritional supplements. The resulting granular materials offer greater convenience in dosage control and storage.

Mini spray dryers are perfectly capable. You may opt for a vacuum spray dryer to ensure consistent quality whilst drying heat-sensitive materials.
Spray dryers evaporate moisture from materials through heating. Freeze dryers, however, freeze the material and achieve drying by sublimating the moisture. Consequently, their drying processes operate at significantly different temperatures, allowing you to select the appropriate method based on the material type.
You may base your selection on material characteristics (such as solid content, viscosity, and heat-sensitive materials), drying requirements (such as particle size and moisture content specifications), and operational efficiency demands.
Regular cleaning of mini spray dryers is essential. You must also routinely maintain the heating system, discharge system, and other components. Sensors and control systems require periodic calibration.
Excessively viscous materials are difficult to atomise in a mini spray dryer, which further impedes drying efficiency. You may dilute the material before processing.
