Production of a powder product

---

At Solaris The production of a powder product (e.g., protein powder, pharmaceutical powder, cosmetic powder) involves several carefully controlled steps to ensure uniformity, safety, stability, and regulatory compliance.

• Identify active ingredients 
• Choose excipients 
• Test for solubility, flowability, and stability.

• Source pharma- or food-grade raw materials.
• Perform quality tests (identity, purity, microbial limits).
• Store in controlled environments (humidity, temperature).

• Precisely weigh ingredients according to the batch sheet.
• Pre-blend minor components (like flavors, actives) to ensure even distribution.

• Use a powder blender ( V-blender).
• Mix until homogeneity is achieved (confirmed by sampling & testing).

• Dry granulation: to improve flow and compressibility.
• Milling: reduce particle size for better solubility or mouthfeel.

• Physical tests: particle size, flow rate, moisture content.
• Chemical tests: assay of actives, pH, contaminants.
• Microbial tests: total count, yeast/mold, pathogens.

• At Solaris we use auger-type powder filling machines for jars or pouches.
• Fill based on weight or volume.
• Induction seal, cap, and label.

• Randomly sample final product batches.
• Confirm label claims and compliance with regulations (NFSA.).

• Store in cool, dry, humidity-controlled conditions.
