Drying process in food industry for stable powders
Drying Technologies for Food Ingredients
At Bodec, we provide advanced drying technologies to transform liquid or semi-liquid streams from extraction and separation processes into stable, high-quality food ingredients. Our expertise includes spray drying, drum drying, and agitated thin-film drying, allowing us to select the optimal method based on product characteristics, thermal sensitivity, and desired final properties.
Our pilot-scale drying facilities enable hands-on testing and optimization before industrial scale-up, ensuring reproducible, efficient, and scalable solutions. By carefully controlling temperature, feed rate, and drying conditions, we produce powders, flakes, or concentrated ingredients while preserving nutritional value, functionality, and solubility.
Whether your goal is ingredient innovation, side-stream valorization, or production efficiency, Bodec delivers high-quality, functional, and sustainable food ingredients ready for further processing or application.
Pilot-Scale Development for Scalable Solutions
Bodec’s pilot-scale drying plant provides hands-on testing to determine optimal drying parameters for your specific material. We generate real product samples, monitor process performance, and collect data required for industrial scale-up.
Whether your goal is ingredient innovation, side-stream valorization, or production efficiency, our drying technologies deliver reproducible, high-quality results while supporting sustainable and scalable food ingredient manufacturing.

Spray Drying Services for Food Ingredients
At Bodec, we help companies with (contract) spray drying for food ingredients. In doing so, we convert liquid or semi-liquid products into stable, functional powders.
Thanks to our expertise in spray drying, process development, and scale-up, we support customers from the first trial through to a reproducible and scalable process. In addition, we focus not only on the final powder, but also on the process conditions required to achieve reliable results.
In our fully equipped pilot plant, products and process settings can first be tested and optimized. As a result, customers gain early insight into technical feasibility and the most effective route to scale-up. After that, the process can be prepared for further production in a structured way.
We process extracts, emulsions, suspensions, and other liquid food streams into high-quality powders. At the same time, we carefully control parameters such as feed rate, inlet temperature, outlet temperature, and drying conditions. This allows us to deliver consistent quality and to produce powders that meet the required specifications.
Bodec is therefore a strong partner for pilot spray drying, product development, and converting liquids into powders. Whether it concerns the development of a new ingredient, the improvement of shelf life, or the valorization of side streams, we help create an efficient and practical drying process.
In addition, Bodec also offers drum drying and thin-film drying for applications in which another drying technology is more suitable for the product or process. As a result, we can determine the best technical and practical solution for each specific application.
If you are looking for a partner in spray drying, contract spray drying, or food ingredient drying, Bodec offers the expertise, facilities, and process support needed to scale up your product successfully.
