  • particle engineering

    the art of particle science

    Particle engineering is both art and science, it’s not enough to have a piece of equipment, you have to have the know-how to run it. Our custom approach yields top quality products for our customers.

    Our team of superior solving food scientists can analyze your product and manipulate its particles to improve performance. We can even change the composition to enhance the solubility, taste and sensory characteristics and deliver a better product.

    From trial batches to full scale and in any volume, our capabilities extend to drying, milling, micronizing, sizing, blending, coating, instantizing and more for a wide range of product formulations. Few can offer this same breadth of technical capabilities and particle science. So ask us about particle engineering, because we have big ideas about little particles.
