Spray Drying & Drum Drying — Built to Handle Your Process

Spray Drying Capabilities

Valentine’s spray drying capacity exceeds 50,000 liquid pounds per day. The process combines clean atomization with rapid drying, minimizing heat exposure and making it suitable for temperature-sensitive materials such as vitamins, enzymes, and biologics.

Atomization allows for precise particle size control — essential for applications like polymers, specialty chemicals, and catalysts. Additionally, spray drying can preserve emulsion structures during atomization, making it well-suited for shelf-stable and controlled-release products, including personal care actives, fragrances, and specialty chemical formulations.

Drum Drying Capabilities

Drum drying is a fast, efficient method for converting high-solids slurries, viscous materials, and temperature-stable compounds into powder form. Valentine’s drum drying operations support over 200,000 liquid pounds per day, making it ideal for high-volume toll manufacturing.

Common applications include fertilizers, industrial additives, waste material drying, and other contexts where particle size is not a high priority.

Pilot-to-Production Scalability

Valentine supports the full spectrum of drying needs, from pilot-scale testing and feasibility trials to mid-size production batches, all the way up to full-scale commercial toll manufacturing.

Our on-site infrastructure allows for efficient evaluation of how spray and/or drum drying aligns with your formulation and production requirements. Once drying parameters are established, projects can transition seamlessly into trial batches or large-scale runs — all under one roof.

Our flexibility makes us a valuable partner for both new formulations requiring development and optimization, and established formulas ready for large-volume drying.

Integrated Processing for Speed, Simplicity, and Savings

Liquid-to-powder conversion is just one part of Valentine’s fully integrated toll manufacturing capabilities. We can also synthesize the liquid formulation and package the finished powder — all on-site, under one roof.

This end-to-end approach can reduce freight costs, shorten turnaround times, and eliminate the need for multiple vendors — ideal for companies scaling up to commercial production or bringing new products to market quickly.
