This unique facility allows the investigation of the effects of different drying path lengths, drying regimes, droplet diameters, solid contents and various other parameters for a wide range of food and other materials.
The facility offers companies the possibility to try out this innovative powder production technology for their specific materials and applications. The facility allows the testing of various drying and powder production protocols, and the resulting powders can subsequently be evaluated with respect to their properties and performance.
