Continuous Crystallization Technology

Production equipment for a controlled crystallization process.

Through the use of small diameter capillaries, the crystallization tool of Secoya is able to master supersaturation conditions and control the nucleation process. By precisely selecting parameters, the nucleation rate can be adjusted to obtain the desired final crystal size, from 3 to 400 µm in a single crystallization step. Target morphism is easily achieved, as well as a narrow crystal size distribution. 

As no physical micronisation is required, low crystal size powder exhibits an excellent flowability and thus excellent powder handling capacities.
