Capsulae

CAPSULAE is the result of a merger between several R&I teams with cutting-edge skills in a wide spectrum of technologies. The combination of these skills allows the development of innovative, high-performance and differentiating formulations of ingredients, able to meet the needs and expectations of INNOV’IA‘s customers and partners.

Infrastructures

  • A Central Laboratory of 410 m2 with 8 rooms to create prototypes, from 10’s-100’s of grams of encapsulated products
  • A Pilot Platform of 465 m2 with 4 process boxes to choose the formulation process and produce several kilograms of products

NEW IN 2026: 2 state-of-the-art pilot encapsulation workshops

  1. Closed-loop multi-effect spray drying workshop
    1. Evaporation capacity: 15 kg/h
    2. Specifically designed for the optimal protection of heat-sensitive compounds
  2. Fluidized Bed (FB) processing workshop
    1. Versatile unit with 4 distinct configurations
    2. Processing capacity: 50 to 100 kg of high value-added products

→ Breakthrough technologies serving performance

  • Optimized control through advanced monitoring systems
  • Reduced energy footprint thanks to closed-loop technologies
  • Accelerated development cycles via CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) modeling
  • Next-generation coating solutions for sensitive actives (enzymes, probiotics, vitamins)
  • Use of innovative bio-based materials
  • Process intensification for increased productivity
  • Production of industrial-scale pilot batches (50–100 kg) enabling rigorous validation of functional properties by clients

Technological platforms

Our skills and know-how relate more specificaly to the following technologies:

  • Emulsification (emulsion, double emulsion, nano-emulsion, microencapsulation)
  • Spray drying (co-drying, micro-granulation, continuous agglomeration, microencapsulation)
  • Spray-cooling/Prilling (microencapsulation)
  • Fluid Bed Drying (overdrying, pre-agglomeration, granulation, impregnation)
  • Fluid Bed Coating (microencapsulation)
  • Dripping
  • Extrusion
