As part of the national research infrastructure NORCELlab, we have at RISE PFI acquired a spray dryer. The new spray dryer allows us to separate solids from liquids or suspensions into powder in an efficient and gentle manner.
NORCELlab (www.norcellab.no) is a national research infrastructure coordinated by RISE PFI and funded by the Research Council of Norway.
How does spray drying work?
Spray drying is a process used in various industries, from food production to pharmaceuticals and materials science. The process works by dispersing a liquid into small droplets, which then quickly dry in hot air. The result is a uniform and stable powder that is easier to store, transport, and to use in further research or production.
Some examples of applications:
- In laboratory projects where powder formulation is important.
- Making powder from juice, milk, proteins, or probiotic bacteria.
- Developing new drugs with better shelf life.
- Creating customized powder for industry and research.
- Production of powder-based cosmetic products such as face masks and makeup.
- Manufacturing catalysts and other chemical compounds in powder form.
- Production of powder-based fertilizers and pesticides.
- Development of nanoparticles for use in various technological applications.
The spray dryer will be used both in our research projects as well as in contract works for customers. Would you like to know more? Please contact Eirik Risebrobakken at RISE PFI for more information.
