Silica products manufactured by Huber have Kosher and Pareve as well as Kosher for Passover approvals. How Do Huber Silicas and Silicates Work? While Huber produces a broad range of silica and silicate products for powdered food applications, the general approach to solving caking and lumping problems is as follows: Coating the surface of powder, thereby reducing interparticle interactions Interspersing and preventing interparticle interactions Preferentially absorbing moisture to prevent bridging between particles Absorbing fats and oils to prevent non-aqueous bridging between particles
Benefits of Huber Free-Flow Additives Increased production throughput Free-flowing powder offers faster production rates and increased capacity Reduced production downtime and maintenance Reduce or eliminate the need to stop equipment to clean out clogged powder Improved product quality and consistency Less off-spec or reject material from lumping and caking Increased consumer satisfaction Improve your customers experience with free-flowing, easy to use food powder products Huber: A Partner You Can Depend On Experience Huber has been solving the caking and lumping problems of powdered food producers for over 0 years High-performing products Huber offers a broad range of anti-caking silica and silicate products designed specifically for powdered food products Custom application support Huber provides custom application development in our dedicated food technology laboratory to ensure the optimal solution is provided for our customers Quality and GMP Huber s production facilities are ISO certified and operate under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Assurance of supply Huber has six production facilities globally, offering supply assurance and peace of mind Formulating Tips Huber silicas and silicates must be blended carefully with the powdered food product; metering equipment should be used and care taken to ensure the product is blended well Selecting the proper particle size anti-caking agent can reduce dusting; particles that are too large relative to the host cannot adhere to the host and thus create dust; the use of excessive amounts of anti-caking agent beyond what is needed to coat the surface of the host can result in dust In many applications, the Huber silica or silicate can be added just prior to the spray dryer (or drying step) to ensure good contact with the substrate; screw conveyors feeding to a dosing system are typically used
