Atomization
Principle of atomization
Atomization is a dehydration and drying method. A liquid solution is sprayed in the form of fine droplets into a vertical enclosure, in contact with a stream of hot air. The water and solvents evaporate, leaving behind a powder loaded with molecules of interest. The main advantage of atomization is that it is faster than other drying techniques.
The product is transformed from liquid into powder in just one single step, making this technique attractive in terms of cost and process facilitation. Once the powder has been obtained, it can be processed into tablets without any secondary processes or major loss of potency. This technique is widely used in sectors such as nutraceuticals, agri-food and cosmetics.
Advantages of atomization
High yield
Atomization is carried out in a single step. As a result, it is one of the fastest, most cost-effective and scalable drying methods available.
Improved preservation
An atomized product benefits from improved stability and a longer shelf life than non-atomized liquids. The dehydration process that takes place when the product is sprayed reduces the risk of degradation and the growth of bacteria and microbes.
Optimized storage and transportation
When products are atomized, they become lighter and more compact, making them easier to handle and transport. As a result, the risk of leaks or spills is considerably reduced.
Uniform particles
Atomization transforms the liquid product into a powder. Particles are often regular, controlled and uniform in size.
A variety of applications
This drying technology can be used in a wide range of business sectors, including the chemical, agri-food and cosmetics industries.
