When rapid drying and precise particle control are essential to your process, spray dryers deliver unparalleled performance. With over 47 years of industry leadership, IPP has built a reputation as the largest supplier of used process equipment in the world. Our ready-to-ship inventory spans 20 complete plant sites and offers 15,000+ pieces of equipment — including high-quality used spray dryers available for immediate delivery.
Spray dryers are designed to rapidly convert liquid feed into dry powder by spraying the liquid into a heated chamber. The liquid is atomized into fine droplets using high-pressure nozzles or rotary atomizers, exposing each droplet to hot air that instantly evaporates moisture. This fast, controlled process allows manufacturers to produce powders with highly uniform particle size and moisture content, making spray dryers indispensable in food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
Common materials dried in spray dryers include:
To meet the needs of different industries, spray dryers are available in:

Flat bottom, with a center bottom discharge Chamber diameter 94.25". Inlet air to the chamber is heated by a direct gas fired air heater Gas Air heater is manufactured by Maxon, type Air Flow Burner series NP. The burner uses a spark ignited pilot and control is by Maxon Series "Q" butterfly valve. Hot air enters the chamber through an air distributor on top of the chamber. The distributor has vanes that are adjustable to control the air flow pattern into the chamber. As a standard feature, a cooling ring is built in around the inlet area. This prevents particles from becoming overheated in the event they contact this area. This prevents particles from becoming overheated in the event they contact this area. If the cooling chamber is needed, it will use 375 CFM at 2" W.C. Exhaust blower is manufactured by New York Blower, and is a type "P" pressure blower. It is rated for 750 cfm, and is belt driven by a 5 HP motor at 3600 rpm. Electrical spec for the blower motor is 3/60/230-460V and the motor style is TEFC. It sits on a 184 T frame.
