THERMAlite™ is an advanced drying technology designed to transform how industries handle powders and granules. By integrating drying and milling into a single, continuous operation, it eliminates the inefficiencies of traditional batch-based methods such as freeze drying, tray drying, drum drying, and spray drying.
Conventional drying techniques for fruit and vegetable powders often lead to high energy costs and the loss of key nutrients, flavours, and aromas due to elevated temperatures. THERMAlite™ overcomes these challenges by operating at a gentle 60°C, ensuring exceptional retention of nutrients, colour, and aroma.
Extensive trials on a variety of produce — including carrots, capsicum, okra, orange peels, and apples — have demonstrated outstanding results. The process provides a cost-effective and sustainable solution for the food, pigment, and FMCG industries, opening new opportunities for innovation in natural ingredient processing.
In traditional Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufacturing, filter-pressed powders can have a Loss on Drying (LOD) of up to 60%, requiring a multi-step process of manual transfer, vacuum tray drying (VTD) over 24–40 hours, and subsequent milling.
THERMAlite™ simplifies and accelerates this workflow by combining wet milling, drying, and particle size reduction into one continuous system. The result is a faster, energy-efficient, and fully automated process that reduces manual handling and production time while maintaining precise control over final particle characteristics.
THERMAlite™ sets a new benchmark in efficient, sustainable powder processing for both food and pharmaceutical industries.
