LIS by Lesaffre is a major European player in drying ingredients for food, feed, nutraceuticals, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals markets.
With 3 production sites (France and Poland) and 50 years of experience in spray drying of several hundred different products, LIS by Lesaffre is the ultimate drying partner in Europe.
With its twenty production lines, LIS by Lesaffre has the widest range of equipment on the market to support you in your growth, from laboratory to pilot and industrial scale on various technologies : standard spray-drying, continuous drying in a vacuum tunnel, and the latest addition of electrostatic spray-drying (PolarDry®).
Our range of equipment covers various drying capacities: Towers sizes, single- stage and multiple-stage spray drying towers, high-pressure nozzles, bi-fluid nozzles or turbines, vacuum drying, offering the possibility to obtain a variety of powder types (fine powders, micro-granulated powders, high- and low-density powders).
LIS by Lesaffre services include upstream liquid preparation, ranging from simple mixing processes to the more complex emulsification for micro-encapsulated products, as well as liquid hydrolysis (acidic and enzymatic), different types of filtrations, or heat treatments.
Flexibility is a leitmotiv at LIS by Lesaffre that allows us to dry more than
1000 different references
each year, from the simplest to the most complex products:
• Flavours
• Natural colorant
• Protein and protein hydrolysates
• Fruit and vegetable powders
• Fiber
• Hydrocolloids
This particularly flexible technology is complementary to our other drying
activities. It indeed offers multiple possibilities to functionalize powders :
• Granulating to enhance rheological properties
• Co-drying & granulating to obtain homogenous blends
• Coating to protect actives, delay releases, mask tastes…
• Gentle over-drying to lower water activity
• From lab to pilot and industrial productions
• Multiple-batch campaigns at all scales
Standard and competitive technology to obtain powdered ingredients. Evaporative capacity from 5 kg to 2,500 kg of water per hour.
Packaging of dried products from 5 to 1000 kg (bags, cartons, Big Bags etc.)
Highly suitable for drying viscous and thermosensitive liquids, using a process that does not require the addition of a drying carrier.
Disruptive technology, particularly geared towards protecting high added-value compounds:
