By choosing Prinova as your long-term ingredient spray drying partner, you can take advantage of our advanced systems and precision engineering to suit the properties of your finished product.

 



The spray drying process

Ingredient spray drying is a fast-acting technique in the nutrition, food, and beverage industries. The atomization process transforms liquid formulas with active ingredients into fine droplets through a spray nozzle. At this point, they're exposed to specific temperatures and hot air pressure and ultimately dried.

 

Consequently, the process creates a stable and rapidly dispersible powder that protects all the vital characteristics and essential nutrients, flavors, or aromas used in various products, from infant and early-life formulas and dietary supplements to nutrition powders and functional food ingredients. 

 

Prinova’s precision is essential in arriving at a free-flowing and consistent particle size with the product quality and effectiveness your customers deserve, from closed or open-loop drying systems to high-capacity or small-batch processes.

Spray drying preserves essential nutrients, vitamins, and derivatives for infant and early-life formula. To this end, the process creates powdered ingredients that maintain nutritional value, meeting the high standards required for reliable and efficient infant or early-life nutrition.



Sports and nutrition

Additionally, spray drying enhances product development for premixes and powdered supplements, shakes, and smoothies in the sports sector. Therefore, the spray-dried formula offers enhanced bioavailability, preserving essential vitamins, proteins, and nutrients for optimal performance and recovery
