Context
A leading US-based infant formula manufacturer reached out to Bioscan to conduct a comprehensive spray drying inspection. Their goals were to ensure that every component of the spray dryer (which transforms liquid concentrate into powder formula) system meets the strictest hygiene and safety standards.
Challenges
The request was to detect early signs of cracking, maintain full compliance, and perform repairs with a tight 48-hour shutdown window. In short, we had to perform a full inspection and repair of the spray dryer system during the scheduled shutdown through our non-destructive inspection technology.
How We Approached the Challenges
Bioscan mobilised a team to the site, using our proprietary non-destructive electronic inspection methods to initiate testing. With IRATA-certified rope access, we inspected the entire spray dryer chamber and cone, fluid bed, ducting system, and cyclones, without the need for scaffolding, then performed the welding repairs.
Outcome
Upon thorough food industry equipment inspection, we identified some potentially vulnerable non-visible cracks and biofilm-prone areas and addressed them on the spot. With the help of our highly skilled technicians, we completed the entire inspection and repaired cracks within the deadline. We also delivered a comprehensive report, covering every issue we had identified during the inspection and repair for future maintenance planning.
