⚙️ Description

This Used GEA Niro Mobile Minor Laboratory Spray Dryer is a widely respected pilot-scale spray drying system designed for research, development, and small-batch production. Commonly used in food, pharmaceutical, dairy, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries, the Mobile Minor provides reliable, repeatable drying results and is ideal for process development and scale-up trials.
The unit features a stainless steel drying chamber that is lagged and clad for improved thermal efficiency and operator safety. Product atomization is achieved via a Niro centrifugal air-operated atomizer, ensuring consistent droplet formation and uniform powder characteristics.
With an evaporation capacity of approximately 1–7 kg/hr (2.2–15.4 lbs/hr) depending on product formulation, this system offers flexibility for a wide range of materials. The package includes an electric heater, cyclone separator, interconnecting pipework, and additional infrastructure, all mounted on a mobile frame with wheels for easy relocation within laboratory or pilot facilities.
