A Vietnam yiyecek ingredients company specializing in plant-based proteins was seeking a jet değirmeni to enhance the quality and functionality of its rice protein powder products. With the growing global demand for vegan and hypoallergenic protein sources in sports nutrition, functional foods, and dietary supplements, the company aimed to produce a finer rice protein powder to improve solubility, dispersibility, and bioavailability. Traditional mechanical milling methods resulted in inconsistent particle sizes, heat buildup that could degrade protein quality, and potential contamination risks—issues that hindered their ability to meet premium market standards.
The company required a reliable, contamination-free grinding solution capable of processing rice protein isolate efficiently while achieving ultra-fine particle sizes without compromising nutritional integrity.
Previous attempts led to broader particle distributions, overheating, and lower yields, making it difficult to compete in the high-end plant-based protein market.
Solution: Epic Powder MQW10 Fluidized Bed Jet Mill
After evaluating several options, the Vietnam manufacturer selected the MQW10 fluidized bed jet mill from Destansı Toz Machinery. This advanced horizontal fluidized bed opposed jet mill integrates high-precision sınıflandırma, making it ideal for heat-sensitive and food-grade materials like proteins.
Key features that addressed the customer’s needs:
- Particle-on-Particle Grinding: Utilizes high-velocity compressed air jets for autogenous comminution, eliminating grinding media and preventing metal contamination.
- Low Heat Generation: Minimal temperature rise during processing, preserving the delicate structure and nutritional value of rice protein.
- Integrated Classifier: Ensures precise control over particle size distribution, achieving sharp cuts and ultra-fine results.
- Food-Grade Design: Stainless steel construction with easy cleaning and sanitation options.
The MQW10 was installed as part of a complete turnkey system, including feeding, cyclone collection, and dust filtration, tailored for seamless integration into the customer’s production line. The implementation of the MQW10 jet mill delivered outstanding performance:
| Parameter | Feed Material | Product Specification |
|---|---|---|
| Particle Size | 60 mesh (~250 μm) | D90: 16 μm |
| Production Capacity | – | 100 kg/h |
| Particle Size Distribution | Broad | Narrow and uniform |
| Temperature Rise | High (with prior mills) | Minimal |
| Contamination Risk | Present | None (no media) |
By partnering with Epic Powder and deploying the MQW10 jet mill, this Vietnam manufacturer successfully overcame grinding challenges and elevated its rice protein powder to world-class standards. This case demonstrates the superiority of fluidized bed jet milling technology for processing sensitive food ingredients, delivering precision, purity, and scalability.
