Spray dryer ADL311SA and GAS410 solvent recovery system in university labs
Application: Spray drying of drug infused polymer
The lab was working on producing a non-sticky spray-dried powder from aqueous solutions of hygroscopic materials.
The source solution would jam up the spray nozzle on most spray dryers quickly, and the operator would spend more time cleaning the nozzle through the day than creating powder.
User Insights:
Why Customers Choose Yamato?
“Fortunately, the pulse jet switch on the touch panel and the plunger of the upper nozzle allow many hours of run time without disassembling and cleaning all the parts of the nozzle”
“The operator also uses Yamato’s solvent recovery system GAS410 along with the ADL311S spray dryer, “which allows us to spray aqueous, alcoholic, and hydroalcoholic solutions safely.”
“One of the features we really like is the specimen tray. Rather than forcing us to use a specific specimen container, we can easily place any beaker or sample container with a large volume on the specimen tray”
Why does this user recommend Yamato spray dryers?
“I would recommend this product because the unit is easy to operate, reliable, and Yamato’s customer service is good.”
ADL311SA
Features
- Spray dryer is easy to setup and easy to operate
- Suitable for heat sensitive samples as high heat is not directly applied to dry fine powder
- Obtain contaminant free fine powder which is not oxidized and contains minimal moisture
- Direct drying of solution or solution liquid into fine powder. No pre or post processes such as filtration, separation, or pulverization required
- Safe and explosion free working is guaranteed in combination with GAS410 due to oxygen & pressure control within spray dryer
- Organic solvents are recovered in a closed loop to protect the environment by minimizing pollution
- Easy operation with one-touch detachable mechanism for drying chamber and cyclone
- Standard equipped with arm jack for easy installation and removal of glassware attachments
- A service outlet (max. 2A) and a sample stand are equipped as standard for connecting a magnetic mixer for stirring suspended liquid samples
- Unique peristaltic pump, nozzle cooling mechanism, pulse jet mechanism and a nozzle knocker for stable spray drying
- Spray dryer is designed for aqueous soluble samples. When organic solvent is used, a GAS410 organic solvent recovery unit is required
- ADL311SA spray dryer is highly mobile on wheels, or usable with shorter height as a bench top unit by removing the movable caster

ADL311SA Installation
Spray Dryers
Spray drying equipment has improved over the years. Today, you can process products from milk powder to antibiotics using spray dryers. Yamato’s spray dryer models are suitable for experimental and R&D purposes. You can use our spray dryers for drying, fine powdering, powder mixing, agglomerating, encapsulating, and englobing.
Commercial Food Products
Spray dryers were used widely during the Second World War to produce milk powder. Hence, it is no surprise that the largest market for lab spray dryers nowadays is in the food industry particularly in powdered milk and instant coffee production.
From milk production, the use of spray drying technology has extended to the production of powdered varieties of coffee, algae, gum arabic, protein hydrolysates, yeast extract, starches, and non-dairy creamers to name a few.
You can now rapidly create agglomerates or powder from liquids such as emulsions, suspensions, and solutions since spray dryers are fully-automated and continuous. Moreover, spray drying equipment such as the ADL311SA—a Compact & Economical Spray Dryer by Yamato—are highly suitable for drying both heat-resistant and heat-sensitive foods, allowing shorter residence time with no oxidation and minimal moisture remaining.
Spray drying is also used for encapsulating active substances, homogenizing these into slurries or emulsions before drying. By encapsulating food products, you get to protect your product from heat degradation and therefore improve final product functionality.
Pharmaceutical Products
Not all medical dosages are soluble. Hence, spray drying technology affords the pharmaceutical industry an economical and fast alternative to converting liquid feed into powdered medications and additives such as extracts, infusions, inorganic medicinal salts, vitamin C, and adrenaline.
Since the 1940s, the use of spray drying equipment in pharmaceuticals has advanced from simple drying methods to sophisticated processes such as the production of excipients like ointment bases and preservatives and the isolation of active ingredients that are either hard-to-crystallize or heat-sensitive.
Needless to say, spray drying is an ideal process for those requiring precise attributes especially in the morphology, stability, and particle size of your pharmaceutical products.
In just a single continuous process, you get to convert liquid feedstock into a well-defined powder and get desired properties including precise residual solvent, moisture level, particle morphology, as well as density and size of particulates, which is crucial in the pharmaceutical industry. With high-performance spray dryers like the Yamato DL410 Large Capacity Spray Dryer, you can produce fine particles with sizes from 10 to 100 micrometers, which are considered by many to be difficult to achieve.
Furthermore, you are guaranteed a contaminant free powder with minimal moisture and zero oxidation, so you can guarantee patrons that your products are safe.
Industrial Products
Aside from food and pharmaceutical production, spray dryers are essential for the industrial creation of powdered materials such as catalyst supports, ceramic materials, microalgae, detergents, and paint pigments.
Used, basically, for encapsulation by most industries, applications of spray drying equipment in an industrial setting includes the production of not just powders but also textiles, adhesives, pesticides, carbonless copy paper, and anti-corrosive coatings just to mention a few. The microencapsulation technique involves the use of coatings such as polyvinyl alcohol, sodium alginate, starch, and gelatin.
By encapsulating, you get to reap numerous benefits; one is an extended shelf life for your product and another is increased stability. On the other hand, you also get to decrease the evaporation of the volatile core in products such as paints and pesticides. Aside from those, you also get to reduce oxygenation, prevent a chemical reaction, and improve handling properties of adhesives.
Now, if you are spraying acidic samples for either aqueous or organic solvent, before exhausting to environment or recirculating to the GAS410 Solvent Recovery Unit, we recommend using the GWS410 Organic Solvent Washing Unit to neutralize the air or gas which contains acidic ingredients.
