We are proud to announce the addition of a pilot-scale spray dryer to our 5,000 square foot climate-controlled Product Development Center (PDC) in Middleton, Wisconsin. The dryer is fabricated to 3-A sanitary standards, and is capable of either high pressure or pneumatic atomization with an evaporation capacity of 7 kg/h.
Customers increasingly seek specific product guarantees, such as taste, color, solubility, and spore counts. Adding powder production to our test center allows them to evaluate our processes holistically, and reduce risk during scale up.
The dryer joins existing wet and dry batching/blending, filtration, extraction, thermal treatment, concentration, and crystallization systems. Our analytical laboratory includes particle size analysis, chromatography, spectroscopy, and bacteria testing.
Some of our recent product runs include:
- Dairy powders
- Tea and coffee blends
- Low, medium, and high heat milk powders
- Flavored waters
- Fruit juice and pulp blends
- Powdered energy drink mixes
With our staff of food scientists, chemical engineers, and technicians we offer product development, process engineering, and turn key end-to-end process implementation for dairy processors, ingredient manufacturers, and beverage producers.
