Pilot Spray Dryer

Introduction

A pilot spray dryer is used for medium-scale drying between laboratory and industrial production. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals and food processing. The system ensures scalable drying performance. It solves transition gaps between lab and production scale. By providing controlled drying, it supports process development.

Complies with the above standards, but is not limited to them.

Features

1. Easy cleaning supports product changeover.

2. Controlled atomisation and drying produce free-flowing powder.

3. Clear display shows temperatures, feed and process values.

4. Nozzle options suit different feeds and particle sizes.

5. Adjustable inlet and outlet temperatures protect products.

FAQ

What are the main applications of the Pilot Spray Dryer?

The Pilot Spray Dryer is used to turn liquid feed into dry powder by atomising it into hot air. It supports food, pharmaceutical, chemical and materials development, especially for heat-sensitive products.

Which standards and regulations apply to the Pilot Spray Dryer?

The unit is designed with reference to IEC 61010 electrical safety and relevant GB/T standards for spray-drying equipment, with processes following good practice. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.

What warranty comes with the Pilot Spray Dryer?

We provide a 12-month limited warranty on the instrument and its key working parts. Consumables, accessories and parts subject to normal wear are excluded, as is damage caused by incorrect operation or maintenance. An extended service plan is available on request.

Is the Pilot Spray Dryer difficult to operate?

The controls are designed for regular laboratory use, so most users become confident after a brief introduction. The manual walks through each step, and common settings can be saved for repeat work. Online or on-site training is available if the site requires it.

What is the typical lead time for order delivery?

Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.

Is calibration included?

The unit is calibrated and tested before delivery. For ongoing accuracy, verify it against traceable reference standards every 6 to 12 months, or according to the laboratory quality schedule. We can arrange calibration service and certificates where required.

Are consumables and spare parts easy to obtain?

Common consumables and standard spare parts are available through our service channel and are not locked to proprietary formats. Quote the model and serial number when ordering so the correct items are supplied. Lead time for standard parts is usually short.

Are options or configurations available?

A range of options is available to match the application, such as alternative settings, fittings, data outputs or power supply. We confirm each option and its effect on price and schedule up front. Larger custom builds can be discussed.

How is the Pilot Spray Dryer commissioned?

Most models can be commissioned by following the manual, including positioning, connections, checks and a first test run. Remote guidance is available during start-up. On-site installation, commissioning and training can be arranged separately where required.

What should be avoided when using the Pilot Spray Dryer?

Do not feed abrasive or incompatible liquids, block nozzles or ignore high-temperature safety. Control inlet and outlet temperatures. Follow laboratory safety rules.
