Processing of nanoparticles using Freeze Granulation, Spray Freeze Drying, you will get optimal properties of your nanoparticles when mixing them with other powders or materials. The homogeneity of the powder mixture will be kept throughout the process steps, in spraying, freezing and drying, resulting in a dry granulate with homogeneously distributed nanoparticles.

Plasma spraying
Freeze Granulation is today being used to process plasma spraying powders for to achieve a homogeneous mixture and spherical granules for improved thermal spraying performance. — Please contact us and we will further discuss the opportunities with Freeze Granulation on your powder system and read more on technology and we propose a Granulation Test of… Continue reading Plasma spraying
Thermally sensitive nanoparticles
By using Freeze Granulation, spray freeze drying (SFD), you can produce dry-powder aggregates of thermally sensitive nanoparticles. Dry powder inhaler (DPI) delivery of therapeutic nanoparticles requires the nanoparticles to be transformed into inhalable micro-scale aggregate structures (i.e. nano-aggregates). With Freeze Granulation you will be able to optimize the aerosolization efficiency of the nano-aggregates, while keeping… Continue reading Thermally sensitive nanoparticles
Needle-free ballistic powder delivery
By applying Freeze Granulation you will be able to make microparticles with high insulin loading (nanosuspension) suitable for needle-free ballistic drug delivery. The resulting granules are homogeneous and robust with a diameter of around 50-150 µm, with a narrow size distribution and a high content of insulin.
Protein aerosol powders
Freeze granulation, as opposed to spray drying, has been shown to produce protein particles with light and porous characteristics, which offered powders with superior aerosol performance due to favorable aerodynamic properties, suitable granulation technology for protein inhalation powders.
Frysgranulering för tillverkning av homogena granuler (in Swedish)
PowderPro har i samarbete med Swerea IVF (då Svenska Keraminstitutet) under 1980-talet vidareutvecklat en alternativ granuleringsteknik – frysgranulering (Freeze Granulation) – vilken möjliggör konservering av homogeniteten från suspension till torrt granulat. Genom att spreja en pulversuspension ner i flytande kväve sker en momentan frysning av dropparna (granulerna). I den efterföljande frystorkningen sublimeras isen utan risk för segregeringseffekter som… Continue reading Frysgranulering för tillverkning av homogena granuler (in Swedish)
LED photoluminescence granulation
Freeze Granulation is today used for commercial production of homogeneous granules for the production of oxides used as a ceramic phosphor plate for white illumination in LED Lighting. By using Freeze Granulation of the powder and binder mixture, compared with spray drying, it is possible to manufacture a homogeneous phosphor plate with optimal properties for… Continue reading LED photoluminescence granulation
Ultrasonic atomisation
Freeze Granulation can be made using ultrasonic atomisation of the droplets. The resulting granules have a narrow granule size distribution and the granule size is in general smaller (average 120 micron) compared to a regular spray nozzle. The granulation speed is also slow with about 0.3 to 0.5 litre/h.
Abrasive granulation
Freeze Granulation is today beeing used for commercial mixing, granulation and drying of different abrasive products. The resulting products have a homogeneous distribution of all active material, like superabrasive particles, resulting in improved milling performance and long tool life. — Please contact us and we will further discuss the opportunities with Freeze Granulation on your powder… Continue reading Abrasive granulation
