Mixing & Drying Hygroscopic Materials: Why It Matters More Than Most People Realize Mixing & Drying Hygroscopic Materials—salts, sugars, proteins, polymers, nutraceutical ingredients, minerals—treat ambient humidity like an all-you-can-eat buffet. They absorb water through capillary action, surface bonding, and vapor diffusion. Once moisture locks in, particle surfaces change, flow behavior shifts, and the material’s entire […]
Steam Sterilization Of Powders vs Drying Of Powders Under Vacuum All right—time to grab the microscope, crank up the magnification, and zoom in on the thermodynamics, microbiology, and process engineering behind these two worlds: vacuum drying/sterilizing with only a jacket vs. vacuum drying/sterilizing with direct steam injection. This is where the nuances start to matter. […]
Mastering the Art of Mixing Frozen Foods: Challenges, Solutions & Why PerMix Leads the Industry Mixing frozen foods should be simple. After all, everything is already cold, rigid, and portioned. Yet in reality, frozen ingredients behave like a volatile blend of rocks, glass, and clock-ticking ice crystals—fragile enough to shatter, dense enough to stall conveyors, […]
