Alfatech Engineering Systems Pvt. Ltd. is a reliable Manufacturer and Supplier of Spray Dryer for Herbal Extract in India.
Herbal extracts are concentrated botanical ingredients obtained from herbs, medicinal plants, roots, leaves, flowers, seeds, fruits, and other plant-based raw materials. They are widely used in nutraceuticals, herbal formulations, functional foods, beverages, cosmetics, and specialty ingredients.
Converting liquid herbal extracts into powder offers several advantages, including easier handling, transportation, storage, dosing, blending, and formulation. A Spray Dryer for Herbal Extract is designed to convert liquid or concentrated herbal extracts into dry powder through controlled atomization and hot-air drying.
During spray drying, the herbal extract is continuously fed into the drying chamber and atomized into fine droplets. Hot air comes into direct contact with these droplets, rapidly evaporating moisture and forming dry herbal extract particles.
Alfatech Engineering Systems Pvt. Ltd. provides customized spray drying solutions for herbal extracts according to feed solids, viscosity, thermal sensitivity, active ingredients, required moisture content, particle size, powder characteristics, production capacity, and available utilities.
The complete system can include a feed tank, feed pump, spray dryer chamber, atomization system, air heater, blower, cyclone separator, bag filter, exhaust system, powder collection system, and PLC/HMI/SCADA automation.
