Powder-Liquid contact-Jetting (PLcJ®)

Based on a patented disruptive process of aerial and localized contact of directed flows of divided solids (powders, granules, fibers, etc.) and liquids or semi-liquids, the PLcJ process operates the continuous, on-demand, and rapid manufacturing of homogeneous products, with the possibility of coupling to their application.

Broad Spectrum Process

Compatible with a wide variety of input types and powder/liquid interactions (dispersion, gelation, pasting, etc.), the PLcJ® process offers a complementary solution to the usual contact processes (agitation/mixing, kneading, extrusion, etc.)

Mastering Ratios

Suitable for all types of powder/liquid ratios (from a few % to several hundred %), the PLcJ® process allows the manufacture of products with optimized dry matter levels.

Modularity & Scalability

Modular and scalable, the PLcJ® process can be adapted to a wide variety of industrial configurations as well as flow rate requirements, notably reducing production times and the number of steps.

Energy and environmental gains

The operating principle of the PLcJ® process guarantees direct energy savings, reduction of waste as well as reduction of the need for cleaning installations.

Coupling to the application

Due to its configuration, the PLcJ® process allows effective coupling of the operations of bringing inputs into contact with each other and application (packaging, removal, 3D printing, etc.) of the finished product.

Innovative uses

The PLcJ® process thus opens up innovative industrial uses for the manufacture and application of products directly from powders and liquids while offering performance gains and a reduction in the environmental footprint.
