When the batch has been mixed, the concentrate is homogenized and stored in a tank before Spray Drying. The homogenized concentrate is sprayed by using nozzles via a high-pressure pump.
Each ingredient in a non-dairy creamer formula has a characteristic function which, when combined, optimally assists in producing a superior non-dairy creamer.
