Spice Sterilization and Drying Equipment for Food & Nutraceutical Manufacturing Mixing, Vacuum Drying, Steam Sterilization & Instantization of Spices and Powders A Single-System Processing Approach Using the PerMix PAMD-SS Vacuum Mixer, Dryer & Sterilizer Introduction: Why Spices and Functional Powders Are Hard to Process Spices, seasonings, nutraceutical powders, and functional ingredients are deceptively complex materials. […]
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. […]
