The invention relates to an apparatus for drying a liquid predominately containing solid matter of carbohydrates to a non-sticky powder. The apparatus comprises a spray drying chamber (5) in the upper part of which a spraying element (4) capable of atomizing liquid predominately containing solid matter of carbohydrates to droplets is positioned, means (6) for supplying a drying gas to the atomized droplets for partially drying thereof to moist particles, and a residence device (9) for post-crystallisation of the moist particles received from the drying chamber to a non-sticky powder. The apparatus further comprises a filter element (7) arranged internally in the spraying chamber, and means (16) for withdrawing the spent drying gas through the filter element. The apparatus is suitable for treating liquids with a high content of carbohydrates such as whey and whey permeate. Also disclosed is a process for producing non-sticky powders.
