Drying Process (Spray Dryer) : Milk Powder

Milk is atomized into spray droplets using a pressure nozzle, centrifugal disc, or rotary wheel atomizer. These droplets are exposed to hot air in a drying chamber at temperatures between 180-220°C, where the water evaporates from the droplet surfaces leaving behind milk powder particles between 10-50 micrometers in size. The milk powder particles are then recovered from the exhaust gases using cyclones or bag filters.

DRYING PROCESS

(SPRAY DRYER)

MILK POWDER

1. ATOMIZATION OF LIQUID(MILK) INTO SPRAY DROPLET (TEMP. 180220C)


TYPES OF ATOMIZER: 1)PRESSURE NOZZLE 2)CENTRIFUGAL DISC
3)ROTARY WHEEL
2. THESE DROPLETS IN CONTACT WITH HOT AIR IN DRYING
CHAMBER(DROP SIZE 10-50M)
CONTROLLED TEMPERATURE AND AIR FLOW CONDITION
3. POWDER>RECOVERED FROM THE EXHAUST GASES USING
CYCLONES, BAG FILTER OR A COMBINATION OF TWO
4.WATER FROM CONCENTRATE TO BE SPRAY DRIED IS EVAPORATED
FROM THE SURFACE (1L=1.2X10^11)
5. THE EVAPORATION OF THE WATER FROM CONCENTRATE IS
COOLED DOWN
6. THIS COLDER EXHAUST AND HUMID AIR IS DISCHARGED FROM THE
DRYER INTO THE ATMOSPHERE AFTER SEPARATION OF DRY
PARTICLES
7. DRIED AND COOLED THE DRY PARTICLES
