Spray Drying & Encapsulation
![]() | NozzleThe two-fluid nozzle disperses the liquid into fine droplets, which are dried quickly and gently in the drying chamber. |
Spray drying and Encapsulation in the lab
Spray Drying is a unique method to convert a solution, suspension or emulsion into a solid powder in one single process step. It is a widely established process in many industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, chemical or material science.
The Encapsulator B-390 / B-395 Pro made by BUCHI Labortechnik AG are new systems for the immobilization of enzymes, drugs, flavours & fragrances, vitamins, oils, cells or microbes into a wide range of polymers. Uniform beads and capsules are produced. The bead diameter is pre-selectable in the range of 0.15 mm to 2 mm with a narrow standard deviation and a productivity of up to 6,000 beads per second.
BUCHI Labortechnik AG offers spray dryers in the laboratory scale for more than 30 years. These instruments are used for first trials, feasibility studies, parameter optimization and production of small powder batches. Now BUCHI sets a new light with the NEW, unique Nano Spray Dryer B-90. A world novelty for fine particles from minimal sample quantities at high yields!
Whether the requirement is the gentle drying of natural product dyestuffs, the isolation of highly effective pharmaceutical agents or the micro-encapsulation of flavours - the Mini Spray Dryer B-290's and the Nano Spray Dryer B-90's outstanding features greatly extends the number of applications that are possible with a spray drying process.
The Mini Spray Dryer B-290 can be extended to a closed-loop configuration with the Inert Loop B-295 to work safely with organic solvents under inert conditions. The pressure and oxygen concentration are permanently monitored.
The Dehumidifier B-296 is the versatile instrument of choice to condition the inlet drying air, to cool the gas for spray chilling or to work in closed mode with water/solvent mixtures.
BUCHI offers a wide range of accessories to build up a complete lab-scale system tailored to your requirements.
