When powders clump during manufacturing, time and energy are lost cleaning machinery. A product such as food-grade SIPERNAT® 22 precipitated silica deters clumping, which keeps your industry running smoothly. Food ingredient distributor Bell Chem proudly carries SIPERNAT® 22 along with other grades of SIPERNAT® products. Read below to learn how food-grade SIPERNAT® 22 can help your company.

Powdered Ingredients

Imagine hundreds of consumers complaining about their packaged powdered food: one box of chocolate pudding contained only a small amount of sugar while another package purchased at the same time was virtually without chocolate powder because of the excess sugar. What happened? When powdered ingredients are combined, it is generally an automated process that disperses the exact amount into each individual container. If the amount added to the batch is not accurate, the product will differ in its taste, texture, smell, or mouthfeel. If it clings to the machinery, less product is released, and the result is not what was anticipated. Adding SIPERNAT® 22 to powdered ingredients keeps machines and customers content. Form a barrier of SIPERNAT® 22 by coating the inside of the spray tower when spray-drying ingredients. This greatly reduces caking and expedites cleaning times as it decreases poor flowability.

SIPERNAT® 22 absorbs water and oil from the surface of powdered goods, leaving them less sticky and caked. Even after a product is stored or transported, it remains smooth and dry.
