Laboratory Spray Dryer Price

A laboratory spray dryer is one of the most essential tools in R&D facilities, universities, pharmaceutical labs, and food technology centers. It allows researchers to convert liquids, emulsions, and suspensions into fine, stable powders with controlled particle size. Because spray drying is used in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, milk powders, herbal extracts, probiotics, flavors, and chemical materials, many buyers ask about the real price range of laboratory spray dryers.
In this guide, we explain the typical price ranges, factors affecting cost, and what you get at each budget level.

Price Range of Laboratory Spray Dryers (From 5,000 USD and Up)

The price of a laboratory spray dryer starts at around 5,000 USD for basic entry-level models and can reach 30,000 to 60,000 USD for advanced, high-performance systems. Prices depend on heating power, evaporation rate, automation level, material of construction, and additional features such as nitrogen drying, closed-loop systems, or advanced particle-size control.
