Multistage Dryer

The MSD2 multi stage Niro GEA dryer with an annual capacity of 25,000 tonnes. The MSD2 is the largest of our four dryers with an adjacent wet mix facility. This dryer produces bulk infant formula. Multistage drying produces agglomerated free flowing dustless powder that is the benchmark for powdered milk worldwide. The first stage of drying takes place in the drying tower where the concentrate is sprayed in at the top and dries as it falls through heated air. The size and structure of the agglomerates can be controlled by varying the operating parameters of the dryer. This allows for customisation of powders to suit different markets and customer requirements. Having 4 dryers of different capacities gives TATURA the scale and ability to deliver to unique and diverse customer requirements. We have the ability to economically build supply as our customer base grows.
