This advanced technique creates uniform, uncompromised ingredients with a tight particle size distribution, maximizing their effectiveness and functionality.
Fluid bed agglomeration
Transform your fine ingredients into free-flowing granules with our precise fluid bed agglomeration process. This technology binds particles for optimal size and stability, ensuring smooth handling and efficient processing in your application. Our custom blending expertise further enhances dispersibility and stability, taking your product to the next level of performance and efficiency.
Encapsulation
Protect your product's vital ingredients with our advanced encapsulation process. This technology encases your active ingredients in a precise, protective coating, ensuring enhanced stability and targeted, controlled release every time. Our precision powder technology further guarantees consistent particle size and distribution, maximizing functionality and performance.
Spray drying
Our state-of-the-art facilities harness cutting-edge spray drying technology to transform your liquid formulations into ultra-fine, free-flowing powders at an exceptional rate. This process utilizes precise atomization and rapid drying, ensuring uniform particle size and preserving the integrity of even the most sensitive ingredients.

Lakeshore Technologies acquisition
Particle technology and engineering play a leading role in Prinova’s manufacturing solutions offering. It’s a domain where we have significant industry-leading expertise. To create additional capacity for our customers in these areas, Prinova acquired Lakeshore Technologies, an external contract manufacturer, in December 2021.
Innovation and precision
Founded in 1997, Lakeshore Technologies started as a small start-up operation. With continued growth over the next 20 years, Lakeshore provided various toll processing services, including micronizing, blending, repackaging, sifting, and metal detection and removal, from their 75,000 sq ft facility.
This growth and experience saw Lakeshore partner with some of the largest companies in the food, pharmaceutical, and nutritional industries.
Trusted certifications
In 2011, the company received an FSSC 22000 Certification in alignment with the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). By gaining this certification, customers can trust that their materials are processed following a strict food safety management system.
The acquisition brings a full complement of particle technology equipment and expertise in-house. Of course, this adds to Prinova’s capabilities and helps our customers reduce costs and the need for capital investments.
