Description:

This Used Labtex ESTDi Spray Dryer, built in 2018, is a compact, high-efficiency lab-scale spray drying system, ideal for R&D, pilot studies, and small-batch powder production. Capable of processing up to 0.515 gallons per hour, this unit features a stainless steel atomizer with a 0.5 mm jet nozzle assembly, and includes a complete set of components for full drying capability.

Designed for temperature-sensitive and specialty materials, this dryer reaches up to 392°F (200°C) and operates in ambient conditions between 41°F and 90°F. Previously used for SiO₂ and TiO₂ (silica/titania) drying, it’s well-suited for nanomaterials, fine chemicals, food ingredients, and pharmaceuticals.
