Health and Herbal - Niro spray dryers have been used world-wide by leading
manufacturers of health and herbal powder.
HERBS
Ginseng, valerian, spices and liquorice, among
others, have to be mentioned when dealing with herbal products.
The
production of herbal powder involves batch or continuous extraction equipment
and an evaporator for concentrating the extract to a proper solids content
prior to spray drying.
HEALTH PRODUCTS
Within
health products, dextran, calcium salts (lactate et c.) may be mentioned, as
well as various types of herbs as these almost always will have some influence
on the health.
The range of health products is wide, but equal for
almost all the products is that they normally have to be spray dried somewhere
in the production process, regardless of the raw material coming from a
chemical/pharmaceutical production or from a natural product.
