The facility will expand the company’s manufacturing capacity.
Paul Graham, president of Symrise Flavors North America, announced that Symrise expanded its manufacturing capacity with the opening of a 23,000-square-foot spray bed drying (SBD) facility at the company’s Branchburg, N.J., headquarters. Graham said the facility will enhance Symrise’s ability to deliver the full taste experience in encapsulated flavors to food and beverage brands across North America.
Symrise said SBD ensures good mixing and contact between the spray of atomized droplets and the drying air, providing optimum conditions for the rapid evaporation of water and agglomeration. The powder is first dried in the main chamber; it is then fluidized in the integrated fluid bed at the bottom of the chamber. The material is then further refined in an external fluidized bed, which produces agglomerates particles that allow maximum flowability and dispersibility in customer applications.
