Edible powder systems have many applications in dietary supplements, food, and beverage. Powder-blending can be straightforward, yet there are times when customized blending is needed. Here’s an inside look at the advantages of custom powder blends with our team of experts at Pharmachem, a division of Ashland.

  1. The benefits of powder engineering.
    With powder engineering, we change and improve the physical characteristics of the material. We can make materials denser, flow better, more granular, or easier to dissolve in liquid. This helps our clients make their final product the best it can be for its intended purposes. At Pharmachem, we engineer powders for an array of product types, from tablets to capsules to drink mixes, and create the perfect blend with our in-house equipment. Most companies don’t have those kinds of in-house capabilities for milling, granulation, and blending.
  2. Our in-house process advantages. 
    Convenience and speed are big needs for our clients, and they’re often looking to package their products in stick packs or high-speed tablet or capsule machines in a more efficient way. Our in-house process helps transform a fine, fluffy powder into a granular, free-flowing one. We’ve had customers find their stick packs run 60% – 70% faster once we’ve granulated the powder and improved its flow.
  3. Unique customer solutions.
    Not only can we blend and engineer powders, but we also have the expertise and experience to counsel clients on what might work well for their products and what won’t. For instance, our seasoned staff offers guidance to clients about how to create uniform custom blends based on certain particle-size characteristics or densities. We consider ourselves third-party problem solvers. If your team is running into challenges, give them to us. We’ll come up with a solution. Our motto is “We make ingredients work.”
