GEA are proud of their contribution to the technology and production of Spray Dried Dairy Products. As a global leader in delivery of Evaporation, Spray Drying and Powder Handling and Packaging systems GEA are pleased to welcome delegates to Melbourne and contribute as a sponsor of the 4th Symposium on Spray Dried Dairy Products.
Leading engineers and scientists from GEA's technology centres in Europe will join their local GEA colleagues at the Symposium. The Australian division of GEA have supplied latest technology in Evaporation and Spray Drying to the local Dairy Industry.
The 4th International Symposium will be an opportunity to describe and discuss the recent developments in: • Characterizing atomization by the Drynetics™ simulation tool capable of Single droplet experiments • Stickiness, Morphology, Density & Temperature histories in atomization and drying • Particle trajectory simulation by CFD to meet moisture specifications and clean operation • Functional characteristics created in pre-heating • De-calcification of dairy products • Heat recuperation integrating evaporation, spray drying and fluidization treatment • Powder handling, packaging & delivery
We take this opportunity to celebrate our link in the chain of supplying the world with high quality Spray dried dairy products. GEA in Australia has a long history of delivering Evaporator and Spray drying plants and greatly values the relationship with our customers who have produced millions of tonnes of dairy powders to play their part in processing the dairy farmer’s product into a food-source that helps to feed the world.
From this base GEA expect the 4th Symposium on Spray Dried Dairy Products to enlighten and invigorate the delegate's knowledge of evaporation and drying so they can continue their powder production, product development, scientific or academic relationship with spray drying.

Munters has a long record of experience in creating controlled humidity conditions in industrial processes, for the benefit of manufacturing companies. It is a well-known fact that the relative humidity can add to the difficulties involved in the manufacture as well as the transport and storage of powdered products. Since weather conditions and thereby climatic conditions during manufacture and drying vary, both quality and drying time are affected adversely. By controlling humidity, it is possible to conform to high manufacturing standards in a reliable way while reducing costs. Specialist know -how and equipment from Munters make it easier for pharmaceutical and dairy companies to assure product quality and comply with official GMP regulations.
