  • Patent number: 9352339
    Abstract: A pulverization head of an apparatus includes a motor whose vertical hollow shaft is integrally linked, at its lower end, to a centrifugal ejection disc. The substance to be pulverized, coming from a tank via a proportioning pump, crosses the hollow shaft to be spread in a thin layer on the lower surface of the disc forming the centrifugal ejection face. Elements are designed to vibrate the peripheral edge of the disc and control the pulverization of the substance. A fan and a distributor produce a treatment gas flow which meets and draws droplets towards a collection zone, solidifying them by drying or freezing. Typically, the substance is a mixture of at least one active ingredient and a microencapsulation constituent. For use to obtain very fine and/or very homogeneous particle size, to manufacture powders for food processing, nutritional, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. The head is useful to produce aerosols.

  • Publication number: 20110038940
    Abstract: A pulverulent composition includes less than 96% in weight, preferably from 10 to 80%, and more preferably from 20% to 70%, of at least a vitamin having a solubility lower than 20 g/L and preferably 1 g/L and more preferably lower than 500 mg/L in aqueous media, the pulverulent composition being stable on storage and having instantaneous dispersion and solubility properties in aqueous solutions.
