A leading manufacturer of nutraceutical supplements, flavors, and other products for the food industry faced a complex agglomeration (the process or result of gathering or sticking together in a mass or group) problem. They wanted to produce agglomerated beads from a 20-component blend nutraceutical, which could be put into capsules. This required a certain level of flowability and uniformity of the beads. However, their original process used a lot of water, which melted the sugar-like material in their blend and caused the material to stick to the agitator and create a mess. They tried using conventional kitchen equipment, such as a planetary mixer, a vacuum oven, and a hammermill, but they could not achieve consistent results. Their material looked like mustard seeds or poppy seeds, and they could not reproduce that in their lab. Moreover, they wanted to sell their product in the kosher and halal marketplace, which meant they could not have alcohol in their products.
