Processing Capabilities

American Custom Drying has an array of capabilities to transform your liquid ingredients into powders. From microencapsulation, spray chilling to agglomeration, our team of process engineers and operators provide excellent service to identify and optimize process parameters that are critical for achieving a high-quality, cost-effective manufacturing procedure. We can either work with the liquid that you provide to us, or create the liquid onsite, feed it through one of our state-of-the-art dryers, and package your ingredients in a variety of formats from pails to super sacks.

While providing the technology to microencapsulate vitamins, minerals, nutraceuticals and bioactives onto a variety of carriers like starches or hydrocolloids, we also offer liquid batching and have North America’s largest liquid storage silos onsite.

Microencapsulation

  • Micro-encapsulate bioactives, vitamins, minerals or lipids via spray drying.
  • High shear mixing and likwifier creates emulsions ready to be converted to powders.
  • Our onsite analytical laboratory analyzes particulate size in real-time particulate size

Spray Chilling

  • Use steam box and chillers to maximize production rate year-round.
  • Spray chill polymers like latex, plastics and paraffin.

Liquid Batching

  • Facilitated with jacketed tanks for optimal temperature control for reactionary chemistry.
  • Suited to provide customizable liquid batching set-up
  • Our onsite silos allow for liquid storage capacity that directly feed to batching areas.

Agglomeration

  • Equipped with two-step drying process with a static fluid bed for product agglomeration.
  • Experienced in food and color ingredients as it creates porosity which is needed for dispersibility.
  • Create powders for ready-to-mix drinks, protein beverages, stick packs or canisters.

Process Development

  • Develop custom processes for commercial production of your material.
  • Provide concept to commercialization scaling from gram batches through commercial scale.
  • Over 60 years of process experience in food products, specialty chemicals, flavors, colors and more.

Particle Classification

  • Develop custom processes for commercial production of your material.
  • Provide concept to commercialization scaling from gram batches through commercial scale.
  • Over 60 years of process experience in food products, specialty chemicals, flavors, colors and more.

Bulk Packaging

  • Our packaging options: super sacks, drums, pails, and poly-lined bags.
  • Equipped with a dual baghouse to eliminate product waste.
  • Offer bulk density control to ensure proper fit into desired packaging.
  • Equipped with inline metal detection and metal detectors for the packaged goods.
