Applications

Sieving Protein Powders for Nutraceutical and Food Applications

What is Protein Powder? Protein powders are nutritional supplements derived from plant or animal sources like whey, soy, pea, and rice. Widely utilized in dietary supplements, sports nutrition, health products, and food processing, protein powders enhance nutrition, texture, and taste. Achieving precise particle size ensures consistent mixing, solubility, and absorption, directly impacting product quality and consumer satisfaction.

Why is Sieving Important for Protein Powders?

Uniform particle size in protein powders ensures superior solubility, texture, and consistency. In products like protein shakes, bars, nutritional supplements, and baked goods, uneven particle sizes can cause clumping, poor texture, and inconsistent nutrient distribution. Traditional screening methods struggle with protein powders due to static charges, agglomeration, and screen mesh blinding, resulting in inefficient production and inconsistent quality.

Contract Manufacturing Experience

Elcan Industries brings specialized expertise to the sieving of delicate nutraceutical powders, including protein-based ingredients. Our Hi-Sifter high-energy screening machine gently yet effectively processes protein powders down to sizes as fine as 20 microns, eliminating screen mesh blinding issues and preventing clumping. The vertical energy applied breaks apart agglomerates gently, preserving nutritional integrity and ensuring a uniform product. Additionally, our Allgaier tumbler screener, equipped with an advanced air-knife system, offers gentle and precise separations down to 44 microns, ideal for sensitive applications.

Furthermore, Elcan Industries offers the CG Electromagnetic Separator, which ensures the removal of ferrous contaminants from protein powders. Our Class II, Div II, and UL-rated separator can achieve up to 18,500 Gauss, efficiently extracting metal impurities to guarantee the purity, quality, and safety of nutraceutical and food products. Manufacturers can utilize our dedicated particle-processing facility for comprehensive trials and scalable toll processing, integrating both high-quality sieving and contaminant removal in a single streamlined process.
