Spray drying is an economic method of producing soluble coffee. For production of non-agglomerated powder the GEA Niro
NOZZLE TOWER™ is used. Agglomerated powders are produced in the
MSD™ (Multi-Stage Dryer) /
FSD™ (Fluidized Spray Dryer) or in the
FILTERMAT™ Dryer. To maximize aroma retention, drying of the extract takes place under conditions, which ensure low powder temperatures.
