The Technology Behind

THE WORLD ’ S BEST SPRAY DRIED POWDERS

Spray Dry Nozzle Technology Improves Powder Quality , Safety & Reduces Risk & Costs
Spray Nozzle Engineering , a New Zealand innovation success story spanning three decades , continues its development Drive , through Industry Engagement Globally , with its latest Click and Dry Hygienic - No Bearding Spray Dry Nozzle Technology ; just the latest in a long history of Safer Spray Drying Nozzle Innovation .
Hot on the Heels of their break through Industry Safety standard releases of Axial Compressive Sealing Technology , easy clean-instant install Anti-Drip Check Valve Technology and of course Longer Life Nozzle Hardware assembly systems .
As the “ Name behind the Name ” on some of the World ’ s Largest Dairy , Protein & Powder Plants , This the Annual Introduction of New Technology by Spray Nozzle Engineering Ltd , to enhance a system many realise as Cutting-Edge , further highlights the company ’ s market leading reputation in Safer & More Hygienic Production of Spray Dried Powder and its close partnership between not only New Zealand & Asian Dairy & Protein Powder production companies ; but also their growing customers in the Northern Hemisphere . The latest version of Spray Nozzle Engineering ’ s proven Click & Dry Nozzle Technology brings about a change in the Milk & Protein Powder Drying Spray Dry Nozzle delivery system , not seen for decades .
Not only does this latest innovation benefit dairy companies on powder quality and safety , but also their bottom line , by reducing both operating costs and down Spec Powder Outcomes . The Nozzle also makes the Spray Drying Process Safer while delivering easier Cleaning and Hygiene outcomes . “ We are constantly working with our industry partners to produce new nozzle products that help make improvements to their business ,” says Stuart Morgan of Spray Nozzle Engineering . Working closely with Industry partners helped us develop the Worlds first true code compliant nozzles , then came the first nozzle with 2 year Hardware warranty , then smooth bore hygienic flow path designs and more .
“ Our Research and Development Sales Technical Team , helped design the first Click & Dry nozzle system over the last two decades , helping to improve not only efficiency , but more importantly
Safety in the Drying Process ; reducing pre-mature parts failure and costs for Dryer Operators . The latest introduction of a world first ‘ No Bearding ’ Safety Nozzle Cap System , is thanks to our Technical Teams ’ focus on continuous improvement through innovation and close collaboration with our customers ; listening to their current nozzle problems and offering proven design solutions with truly World leading Technology . It makes the process of Drying Powder with Nozzles Safer , by eliminating product build up on nozzle cap , which is a potential fire hazard , and this will allow longer production runs times ; improving profitability and reducing cost and risks . It ’ s a win- win situation for our customers drying difficult products .” The New World first nozzle cap design has been put through its paces , both in the lab at Spray Nozzle Engineering ’ s regional testing facility , and onsite in Powder Dryers for live testing on a variety of difficult products . The results when compared with current nozzle caps in the market showed significant reduction of build-up on the nozzle cap on difficult to dry-sticky and viscous concentrates . The Dryer Teams confirmed that powder quality was not affected during testing
