Improved Powder Production With Our Dynamic Atomization Expertise
Our dynamic atomization process improves traditional spray drying methods by using turbulent atomization technology to separate liquid droplets at low to zero pressure and maintaining air flow in the drying chamber to reduce heat exposure. Our process is tailored for fragile and biologically active ingredients and molecules.
Our dynamic atomization experts ensure:
- Precision control over moisture content and powder specifications
- Zero pressure – controlled feed, which eliminates mechanical shear, abrasion, and degradation
- Minimized intra-molecular water activity
- Preservation of fragile or viscous ingredients
- Flash drying in ~0.5 seconds, compared to the typical 25-30 seconds in spray drying
- Better control of cavity moisture without molecular damage
See APD in Action
Mallard Creek Polymers sought a free-flowing, non-caking polymer that could easily return to its orginal latex form when added to water. APD’s dynamic atomization approach and particle size expertise allowed these narrow specifications to be met.
Advanced Powder Dynamics: Engineering Excellence in Dynamic Atomization
The experts at Advanced Powder Dynamics engineer excellence with an optimized dynamic atomization process. Our dynamic atomization dryers include injector cooling air surrounding the liquid feed to protect it from the heating source main process air. This facilitates better powdered products with less degradation and damage. The liquid product is protected during the drying process, and the powdered product benefits from increased shelf life and maintains stability during usage. Advanced Powder Dynamics achieves high quality powders from dynamic atomization due to the following engineering controls:
- Kinetic energy is harnessed by accelerating atomization at 300-400 mph
- Atomization provides instant drying (~0.5 seconds) to lower exposure to high heat
- Low-pressure feed system – injects varying viscosities at zero pressure and zero velocity
- Hot drying gases – propane, natural gases, and electric provide heating in the chamber
- Cooling air separates liquid from main combustion air to prevent heat exposure
Our proven dynamic atomization expertise provide the following engineering controls during powder production and in powder performance:
- Improved physical and chemical stability of powders
- Additional functional properties such as microencapsulation
- Protection of heat-sensitive ingredients against denaturation
- Enhanced uptake and bioavailability
- Nutrient preservation of bio-active ingredients
- Increased shelf life of up to 3 years
- Odor and taste masking and/or control
