Contract Powder Processing

We provide contract processing services for spray drying, spray cooling, freeze granulation, freeze drying, wet pulverizing, nano powder wet pulverizing, classification, molding, and sintering. We support your journey from initial R&D phase to small-scale production and full-scale production. Utilize our facilities for sudden production increases and/or high-mix low-volume production. We also support you during the O&M period of your facilities or interim production until you complete your new facility installation. We provide processing services tailored to your needs at a total of three locations: two domestic Powder Technical Centers (PTC1 and PTC2) and ASEAN Powder Technical Center (PTC ASEAN) in Thailand.

特徴

  • Consistent support from R&D to mass production
  • One-stop service from powder processing to analytical measurements
  • The latest facilities are available without initial investment and maintenance costs
  • Time saving by outsourcing your production
  • Ideal for low-volume production that does not fit your production capacity

Services

Examples of challenges in powder processing

  • Powder processing is required, but since we do not have the facility, it has to be outsourced.
  • We have newly developed a new product and need to outsource the production.
  • Although our new facility is in progress, we need to start production before it becomes operational.
  • Since our facility is being aged, we want to switch our production to outsourcing.
  • As our facility is too large for some low-volume productions, we want to outsource them.

FAQ

Q. Is it necessary to make a trial before contract processing?

A. An initial trial is required to determine the processing conditions.

Q. What kinds of materials do you accept for contract processing?

A. We generally handle a wide variety of applications. However, we may not be able to accept some materials due to safety and/or environmental aspects. We do not undertake contract processing of food and pharmaceutical products. For some food applications, we may be able to introduce you to our partner companies.

Q. Is it possible to request a trial without disclosing the material information?

A. Regarding safety and environmental aspects, we must ask you to present the detail information including SDS, etc. and we will evaluate whether or not we are able to conduct the processing. We may also enter into a confidentiality agreement with you.

Q. Is it possible to witness the processing?

A. Yes, we always welcome you at our PTC.

Q. How is the processing cost estimated?

A. After setting the processing conditions through a trial, we will select the facility to be used according to the amount of processing and estimate the cost.

Q. Can the production schedule be changed flexibly?

Q. Can the production schedule be changed flexibly?
A. It depends on the availability of the facility. However, we will be as flexible as possible and propose the optimal alternative processing plan.
