Learn the ins & outs of spray drying and catch up on the latest developments to optimize your process and save on costs!

Spray drying

Spray drying is the most applied process for food powder production. It is also a challenging one involving a complex balance between production costs and product quality. Improvement can often be achieved by improving drying capacity, minimizing fouling and reducing cleaning downtime. This two-day course presents the latest developments in drying technology, process optimization and cost-saving strategies, including case studies, examples from the industry and hands-on demonstrations. The course will start with basic drying theory and the ‘ins and outs’ of spray drying. It then focuses on predictive tools for spray drying optimization with a practical demonstration.

For whom?

The course is intended for anybody involved in drying technology, including process and product developers, technologists and plant operational staff. Speakers from NIZO, academia and industry will guide you through the topics from scientific understanding to its practical implications.
