Nutritional powder is a powdered nutritional supplement made from natural ingredients (such as grains, beans, fruits and vegetables) or scientific formulas through modern technology. It is rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, and is portable, easy to absorb, and has flexible formulas. It is widely used in meal replacement, sports nutrition, maternal and child health care, and special medical food. It is an ideal health solution for modern fast-paced life.

Application of Nutritional powder 

1.Comprehensive and balanced nutrition:Suitable for people with unbalanced diets, busy people or those with poor digestion and absorption (such as the elderly), providing basic nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.

2.Meal replacement use: Some nutritional powders (such as meal replacement shakes) can replace regular meals, control calorie intake, and help weight management.

3.Infants/children:Formula milk powder or growth nutritional powder, supplement DHA, calcium, iron and other nutrients that promote development.

4.Pregnant/lactating women:Rich in folic acid, iron, calcium, etc., to support fetal and maternal health.

5.Postoperative/disease recovery:High-protein, high-energy nutritional powder helps repair tissues and improve malnutrition (such as cancer patients, postoperative recovery).

6.Athletes/fitness people: Muscle-building powder (high protein + carbon water) or whey protein powder to promote muscle synthesis and recovery.

7.Enteral nutrition support:Provide nutrition through nasogastric or oral feeding for patients with dysphagia and intestinal dysfunction (such as homogenized meal, complete nutrition formula powder).

8.Disease management: Such as special nutrition powder for diabetes (low GI), low-protein formula for kidney disease, etc.

9.Protein supplement:Whey protein, soy protein, etc., suitable for vegetarians or people with insufficient protein intake.

10.Dietary fiber powder:Improve intestinal health (such as inulin, oligofructose).

11.Vitamin/mineral powder:For deficiency (such as iron, vitamin D powder).

12.Cannot replace normal diet:Nutritional powder is a supplementary means, and nutrition should be obtained through natural food first.

13.Must follow doctor's advice or instructions: Special medical purpose nutritional powder must be used under the guidance of a doctor.

14.Allergen test:Pay attention to whether the ingredients contain allergens such as lactose and gluten.

Equipment List of Nutritional powder Making Machine

Mixer→ Screw conveyor→Twin screw extruder →Air conveyor→ Multi-layer oven→Crushing machine with dust pelletizing system→Mixer 

Working principle of each machine

Powder mixer:

Mix various raw materials, such as grain powder, protein powder, vitamins, minerals, etc., according to a specific formula ratio to ensure that the ingredients in the nutrient powder are evenly distributed and the product quality is stable and consistent.

During the mixing process, some liquid auxiliary materials, such as oil, syrup, flavoring, etc., can be easily added so that these auxiliary materials can be evenly coated on the surface of the powder raw materials to improve the taste and flavor of the nutrient powder.

crew conveyor:

The rotation of the spiral blades can be used to stably convey the raw materials mixed by the mixer from one location to another, such as conveying the raw materials from the mixer to the feed port of the twin-screw extruder to ensure the continuity of the production process.

Screw conveyors usually have good sealing properties, which can prevent raw material leakage and external impurities from mixing during the conveying process, maintain the purity of the raw materials, and also reduce dust flying and improve the production environment.

Twin-screw extruder:

Material maturation: During the extrusion process, the rotation of the screw and the heating of the barrel allow the material to be rapidly matured under high temperature and high pressure, starch and other ingredients undergo gelatinization, protein undergoes denaturation, and the digestion and absorption rate of the nutrient powder is improved.

According to different molds and process requirements, the material is extruded into a specific shape and particle size, such as flakes, granules, etc., to prepare for subsequent crushing and packaging processes, and also improve the appearance and taste of the nutritional powder.

The structure of the twin-screw extruder allows the material to be subjected to strong mixing and shearing during the extrusion process, further mixing the various raw materials evenly, and also enables some added functional ingredients to be better combined with other raw materials, improving the quality and stability of the product.

4.Air conveyor

Efficient transportation: Using wind as a power source, the material processed by the twin-screw extruder is quickly transported to the designated location, such as transporting the extruded particles to the oven or the next processing step. The transportation efficiency is high and can meet the needs of large-scale production.

Cooling materials: For materials that have been extruded at high temperatures, the air flowing during the air delivery process can play a certain cooling role on the materials, preventing the materials from deteriorating or other quality problems due to excessive temperature during subsequent processing.

5.Oven

Drying and dehydration: By setting the appropriate temperature and baking time, the moisture in the materials is removed so that the nutritional powder reaches a certain moisture content standard, which is convenient for long-term storage and maintaining the stability of the product, preventing the growth of microorganisms and the degradation of nutrients.

Crushing machine with dust pelletizing system

Crushing and refining: The materials dried in the oven are further crushed into finer powders to meet the particle size requirements of the nutritional powder products, so that the nutritional powder has better solubility and dissolution properties, which is convenient for consumers to eat.

Particle size classification: Some crushing dust collectors have a particle size classification function, which can classify and screen the crushed powder according to different particle sizes, remove oversized or undersized particles, ensure the uniformity of product particle size, and improve product quality.
