Abstract
An agglomerated powdery milk product is prepared by spraying a concentrate of milk or a fraction thereof into a stream of drying gas directed against the surface of a fluidized layer of already spray dried particles in a conical chamber, thereby obtaining a favorable interaction. Special parameters including temperatures, rates of streams of drying air and residence time are adjusted to obtain an extensively agglomerated product, high production capacity, improved heat economy, low heat damage of the product, and to make possible an easy spray drying of materials, which have hitherto been regarded as unsuitable for spray drying.
