Case Study:
Custom Milling of Gelatine for Verve Ingredients
Agtech Freeze Drying successfully partnered with Verve Ingredients to mill a notoriously challenging material, gelatine, into a smooth, uniform powder. By developing a custom temperature-controlled and precision-tuned milling process, the team achieved consistent results where other processors had struggled, showcasing Agtech’s capability to handle complex, specialised projects.
The Challenge
Gelatine is a notoriously difficult product to mill, its sticky and elastic texture makes it prone to clumping and adhering to equipment. Many processing companies refuse to handle it altogether due to the complications it presents in standard milling environments.
Verve Ingredients approached us with the challenge of turning their gelatine into a fine, consistent powder, something other processors had deemed “too hard to work with.”
Our Solution
Rather than turning the project away, we approached it with our usual hands-on, problem-solving mindset. Our team developed a customised process to ensure the gelatine could be milled cleanly and efficiently.
Here’s how we made it work:
Controlled Environment
We carefully managed temperature to reduce the gelatine’s stickiness during milling.
Customised Equipment Settings
By adjusting machine speeds and the way the product entered the mill, we limited air exposure and tightly controlled the feed volume.
Tailored Process Design
We broke down each stage of the milling process, identifying and resolving challenges step-by-step to achieve a consistent fine powder.
The Result
Through a combination of technical know-how and creative problem-solving, we successfully milled Verve’s gelatine into a smooth, uniform powder, something few in the industry are able to achieve. This project showcases our commitment to custom solutions and our willingness to take on challenging materials that others won’t touch.
