Powder Product Development
Dynamic Atomization Experts
The process of powder product development requires a deep understanding of formulation science, process parameters, and application-specific performance. At Advanced Powder Dynamics, we help bring your formulation to life.
We are experts in precision particle engineering, and we leverage our proprietary spray drying technology to create powder products that meet performance targets, industry standards, and commercial goals.
Whether you are in the conceptualization phase or have the formulation ready, we collaborate with you to deliver superior powder products that are precise, functional, and scalable.
Our R&D Capabilities
Our powder product development process is driven by a structured R&D framework that focuses on three key areas:
- Development – Identifying and developing the desired powder behavior through ingredient selection, delivery properties, and particle functionality.
- Technology – Applying the right systems and equipment to maintain product integrity, support scalability, and ensure repeatability.
- Process – Optimizing process parameters such as feed characteristics and drying conditions to achieve consistent, high-quality results.
Following this framework, we bring the following expertise to each powder product development project:
- Custom formulation using functional carriers and emulsifiers
- Particle engineering to enhance flow, solubility, and dispersibility
- Nutrient protection and controlled release via CyLoc®- DexKey® technology
- Low and mid-volume powder development using DA-5 and DA-50 dryers
- Fine-tuning and trial runs prior to scaling up
See APD in Action
Valensa needed a cyclodextrin expert to support the production of high-quality saw palmetto ingredients for use across food, beverage, and supplement applications. APD’s expertise in cyclodextrin inclusion and dynamic atomization technology made them uniquely qualified for this challenge.
Our Powder Product Development Process
At Advanced Powder Dynamics, we follow a six-phase development model to make sure your powder product is engineered for success.
Define → Develop → Validate → Scale-Up → Confirm → Implement
|
Define |
– Understand product goals and functionality needs – Identify formulation requirements and regulatory considerations |
|
Develop |
– Formulation Design: Ingredient ratios, solids loading, viscosity, compatibility – Process Engineering: Droplet size, drying profiles, flow rates – Feed Type Adaptation: Solutions, emulsions, suspensions |
|
Validate |
– Conduct trials on DA-5 (5 lbs/hr) and DA-50 (50 lbs/hr) R&D dryers – Powder characterization: moisture, solubility, flow, dispersibility |
|
Pilot Trials & Scale-Up |
– Transfer process to DA-500 (500 lbs/hr) production dryer – Maintain key conditions from pilot trials |
|
Confirm |
– Final product testing: particle size, stability, flow – Regulatory and customer-specific alignment |
|
Implementation |
– Provide packaging, batch records, and QA release – Enable production transfer and supply chain integration |
