Custom Spray Drying

 

Services

Custom spray drying – transform liquids into dry powders by spraying the liquid into a spray dryer where it makes contact with hot air that removes the moisture.

Prilling – transform liquid melts into dry powders by spraying the liquid/melt into a spray dryer where it makes contact with ambient or cooled air. Spray chilling creates an encapsulation that used to protect ingredients, convert liquids into solids, and provide a means for controlled release. This process is known as spray chilling, spray congealing, prilling, or escapsulation.
