Contract & Toll Spray Drying Services
Are you in need of a contract spray drying partner who can help bring your high-performance powder product to life? At Advanced Powder Dynamics (APD), we operate as an extension to your product development and innovation team, combining deep technical expertise with scalable contract and toll spray drying capabilities.
Whether you’re in the early formulation phase or preparing for commercialization, we can help you deliver fast, reliable results.
Contract Spray Drying & Toll Spray Drying Capabilities
We offer a range of drying services using our patented Dynamic Atomization Technology. These solutions are scalable, with short lead times, competitive MOQs, and dedicated support.
|
Dryer |
Evaporation Rate |
Use Case |
|---|---|---|
|
DA‑5 |
5 lb/hr |
R&D trials, formulation work |
|
DA‑50 |
50 lb/hr |
Pilot optimization, low-volume toll drying |
|
DA‑500 |
500 lb/hr |
Commercial toll drying, high-volume campaigns |
Note: The DA-500 production dryer can also handle 2x and 3x volumes as needed. The drying times are approximate and depend highly on the quantity and input material.
Why Companies Outsource to APD

- Access to our latest spray drying and Dynamic Atomization technology
- No need for capital investment in equipment, space, or utilities
- Reduced labor costs and in-house staffing requirements
- Quick response to changing project demands and timelines
- Shorter lead times and fast technical feedback
- Complete transparency and QA support
- Deep experience across development, scale-up, and production
Here’s what our client says about us:
“At Advanced Powder Dynamics, I encountered a partner who would work with me through difficulties. We collaborated to resolve problems and improve performance until we were able to reliably dry material into a free-flowing, non-caking polymer powder of uniform and small particle size. This would not have been possible without the unique drying method employed by APD. More importantly, it would not have been possible without the dedicated work and insight of the people at APD.”

See APD in Action
Microbial Discovery Group partnered with APD to minimize product degradation during the drying process. Because microbes can degrade quickly with traditional drying methods, APD’s dynamic atomization process proved to be the perfect solution.
Dynamic Atomization for Spray Drying
Our Dynamic Atomization technique for spray drying eliminates the mechanical shear and high-pressure risks commonly observed in traditional systems. Using high-velocity airflow, we atomize gently and consistently, allowing for rapid and even drying (~1 second) that protects the sensitivity and functionality of the ingredient.
This means:
- Zero-shear, low-pressure feed system
- Excellent moisture and water activity control
- Consistent particle size and powder uniformity
- Flash drying with minimal thermal exposure
- Scalable from pilot to production without the need for formulation changes
- Broad compatibility with viscous, sticky, or multi-phase feedstocks
Our projects follow a six-phase timeline that covers concept through development, validation, trials, and quality assurance for commercial readiness. Timelines can vary based on the project scope. If the liquid ingredient already exists and only requires drying, we can speed up the process for you. More time may be needed for powder engineering, feed formulation, or pilot optimization.
