Waikato Innovation Park pilot spray dryer goes ahead

Waikato Innovation Park pilot spray dryer goes ahead

The Innovation Waikato Ltd Board of Directors has approved the construction of an $11 million product development spray dryer facility to be built on the campus of the Waikato Innovation Park.

The spray dryer will be the Waikato component of the Government sponsored New Zealand Food Innovation Network.

The Innovation Waikato expects to break ground in April, with construction taking around 13 months.

The pilot spray dryer will allow companies to research and develop new spray dried food products – something that is difficult to do in large, commercial factories. Capacity of the multi-purpose spray dryer will be one-half tonne/hour. As a comparison, the capacity of spray dryers at Fonterra’s Te Rapa dairy factory in Hamilton is 25 tonnes/hour.
