The company is able to process, blend and package powdered food ingredients such as vitamins and proteins, dry beverage bases or food supplements just as the customer wishes. Besides a diversity of technical options for the contract production of tailor-made ingredients, the company presented its service portfolio that extends from the purchase of raw materials to co-packing.

With the aid of fluid bed technology, SternMaid is able to modify the structure of the particles and thus their behavior in practical use to permit specific applications - to mask an odor or taste and achieve better dispersibility, to reduce the proportion of dust or to protect the product against external influences. For example, powder mixtures can be agglomerated to form tablet table premixes or permit easy dosing in beverage dispensers or for capsule applications.

Process air temperatures from 20 to 130 C make it possible to adjust the drying conditions more flexibly to the products. For contract blending the company has three blending lines for small and medium-size orders between 100 and 10,000 kg. Four other lines are designed for large quantities over ten tons; these are fully automated and capable of measuring and weighing in as many as 15 different raw materials.
