  • Process for producing powder from milk or similar liquids
    Patent number: 3956521
    Abstract: Milk or similar liquids are spray-dried into a powder having a considerable residual humidity, using an inlet temperature for the drying gas higher than usual. This spray-dried powder is after-dried in a fluidized bed. The fine particles entrained by the gas leaving the spray-drier and the fluidized bed are separated from said gases and added to the main bulk of powder after the latter has left the spray-drier and if necessary has been dried to such an extent that the fine particles will not stick thereto. A powder having very high bulk density is obtained and the heat economy is improved.
