Spray drying can precisely control the particle size and produce spherical, well-flowing precursor powders. It not only maintains the material’s electrochemical properties, enhances the battery capacity, but also ensures consistent quality during continuous large-scale production.

Can One Spray Dryer Be Used for Different Industries or Materials?

In most cases, one piece of equipment can be used for multiple products. However, there is a risk of contamination in mixed use, and different industries have different safety requirements. 

Frequent material changes can also cause longer cleaning times and significant material loss. Therefore, spray dryers for materials of the same nature (such as all protein-based materials) can be used universally. But for those with a wide range of differences, it is recommended to use dedicated machines.

Is a Spray Dryer Suitable for Chemical Liquids Containing Solvents?

Yes. You must use a closed-loop system. You should use inert gas as the drying medium and employ explosion-proof components such as explosion-proof motors and pressure relief devices to ensure production safety. Also, installing a condenser will help you recycle solvents, which is eco-friendly and cost-effective.

How to Select the Right Spray Dryer According to the Industry?

The food and pharmaceutical industries focus on food-grade stainless steel materials and GMP-compliant, easy-to-clean equipment structures. The chemical industry is concerned about the corrosion resistance of the machine and the explosion-proof design. 

Heat-sensitive materials require low-temperature or vacuum spray dryers. Coarse particles intended for tableting or granulation can be processed using pressure-type dryers.
