Probiotic cultures are widely used in nutraceuticals, functional foods, pharmaceuticals, animal nutrition and biotechnology products. Since these microorganisms can be sensitive to heat, moisture and processing conditions, the drying system must be designed with careful control over temperature, residence time and moisture removal.
Alfatech Engineering Systems Pvt. Ltd. manufactures customized Probiotics Spray Dryer systems in India for converting probiotic liquid, suspension or slurry feed into free-flowing dry powder.
The process involves atomizing the feed into fine droplets and bringing them into contact with controlled hot air inside the drying chamber. The system rapidly evaporates moisture and recovers dried powder through a cyclone separator, bag filter, or suitable combination of both.
Our spray drying systems are engineered according to the probiotic formulation, feed solids, viscosity, heat sensitivity, required final moisture, particle characteristics and production capacity.
Manufacturers can supply the plant with a rotary atomizer, pressure nozzle, or two-fluid nozzle based on process requirements.
