SGA Spray Dryer
Capacity 50-3,000 kg/hour or liter/hour More than 40 years’ experience
The SGA horizontal box spray dryer for gently powder processing is designed and manufactured in Europe.
The SANOVO Gentle-Air Horizontal Box Spray Dryer can be used on a wide range of food or feed products ranging from animal by-product to plant proteins, among others. Producing a long-lasting shelf stable powder ingredient will bring more value and application opportunities when compared to unprocessed raw materials. Various spray drying plant sizes are available with water evaporation capacity to 3000 kg/hour. This ensures suitability for new and innovative startup companies, as well as well-established larger powder producers.
A horizontal box dryer differs from Spray drying towers by being horizontal and box shaped and therefore it is generally more compact and can often be installed in an existing building. Low CapEx, higher yield, nozzle atomization, easy operation and preserved product properties are just some of the unique product benefits of the SANOVO Gentle-Air Horizontal Box Spray Dryer.

Everything in a box
The SANOVO gentle air box drying plant has no powder conveying ducts. The powder is separated from the drying air in the built-in bag collector.
Manual cleaning of the drying chamber is easy due to its accessibility. Consequently, wet CIP cleaning - frequently the only way to clean a tower - can be minimized.
The plant is easy to operate. Normally, all operating spots (control panel, nozzles, and powder packing) are placed on the same level and with short spacing. Hence, use of stairs or man lifts can be avoided by normal operation of the plant.
Reduced Building Height
A horizontal spray drying plant requires a much smaller building height compared to drying towers, especially in the case of high-capacity plants. Often an existing building can be used, e.g. a former warehouse. Therefore, the building costs and thus the total costs can be greatly reduced.
Higher yield
The entire drying process of the powder takes place in the drying chamber. There is no external powder conveying ducts, cyclones, or external bag house, so we can keep the loss of your product to an absolute minimum during the cleaning or change of product.

Safety and explosion protection
When supplying spray dryers in the EU and US, the dryers must meet the safety specifications in a number of regulations. Similar legislation is not implemented in many countries outside the EU and US.
The SANOVO box Spray Dryer has an ATEX type-examination certificate to ensure compliance with all legislation and standards.
Since all spray drying equipment installed in the EU must follow the defined directives, with the type-examination we ensure that the equipment at our customers’ sites is compliant. Naturally, as a global company our equipment also complies with legislations outside of the EU, like the United States and the Asian/Oceanian region. That provides a significant advantage for non-EU powder producers who export their products to the EU.
Uniform drying
The processing time of the large powder particles in the drying chamber is longer in a horizontal spray drying plant. In a spray drying tower, the powder will stay in the drying air, or by falling to the bottom and directly out of the drying chamber by gravity.
For this reason, the drying time of the powder is identical to the residence time in the drying air. Because of the horizontal nature of a box spray dryer the large powder particles fall to the floor of the drying chamber. The particles lie there until recovered, consequently the drying time can be about a minute.
In other words, a certain degree of subsequent drying of the big particles is performed, offering a more careful, more homogeneous, and more economical drying than one-stage tower dryers.
Nozzle atomization
Powder produced by nozzles is more free flowing and has a higher bulk density. Compared to centrifugal atomizers, nozzles have a relatively high energy efficiency. Furthermore, nozzles offer a simple and compact construction with no moving parts
Benefit both as a startup or as an established producer
The SANOVO Gentle Air Box Dryer is available in 6 different sizes ranging from a SGA 10/1 with one nozzle and an average water evaporation capacity of 50kg/hour to a SGA 300/12 with 12 nozzles and a water evaporation capacity of up to 2500 kg/hour.
This enables us to choose the dryer that matches your production needs. The compact and simple design and low installation cost is ideal for new and innovative products often produced by startup companies, but the robust and hygienic design also makes the box dryer a good choice for the well-established larger powder producers.
