Contract spray drying, from trial to production.

Send us your liquid, concentrate or emulsion — or your specification — and we’ll develop the drying route, run trials and produce to spec in our dedicated food spray-drying plant in Dhule, India, with in-house testing on every batch.

Two ways to work with us

  • Toll spray drying

    You supply the material. We prepare, spray-dry, test and pack it to your specification.

  • Contract manufacturing

    We source raw materials, develop the drying route and supply the finished powder to your specification, with customised packaging.

Either way, we start with a feasibility review and a trial run, so you can check the powder before commercial production.

Who this is for

  • Food and beverage brands

    Without their own drying capacity.

  • Ingredient and flavour companies

    That need additional spray-drying capacity.

  • Processors with seasonal raw material

    Who want a shelf-stable powder.

  • Product developers

    Scaling a formulation from trial to production.

What we can spray-dry

  • Fruit and vegetable

    Juices, pulps and concentrates.

  • Dairy

    Dairy-based powders, including cheese.

  • Fat and creamer systems

    Fat powders and non-dairy creamers.

  • Savoury

    Hydrolysed vegetable protein and sauce powders.

  • Specialty formulations

    Other specialty powders, discussed case by case.

Materials we spray-dry today

Tomato, Tamarind, Lemon, Mango, Strawberry, Banana, Soya HVP, Soya Sauce, Cheese, Sodium Caseinate, Calcium Caseinate, Fat, Palm Non-Dairy Creamer, Coconut Non-Dairy Creamer, Beetroot Juice, Caramel Color and Acacia Gum.
