A machine used by the dairy industry to make powdered milk. The general principle of operation is that a stream of milk is very finely atomized and blown into a stream of heated air. The extremely large amount of surface presented by the droplets of milk causes evaporation of moisture, the fluids being left in the form of a dry powder. 3, record 1, English, - spray%20dryer
