Based on an innovative, patented, multi-application process of interacting powders and liquids by controlled and directed flows, the PLcJ® process opens a new era for the preparation of products in industrial production or in domestic machines.

The PLcJ® process is a solid-liquid on-demand process that operates the intimate and local contact of directed and controlled flows of powders/granules and liquids (Contact-Jetting). Through total and instantaneous wetting and gentle activation of interactions, without a mechanical mixing device, the PLcJ process generates a homogeneous outflow of finished/semi-finished product, can be couple at a later process stage (conditioning, dispensing, etc.).

PLcJ®, a multi-application process for various powder/liquid interactions

functionalization and processing of powders and granules

Adsorption, absorption, coating, granulation of powders and granules

The PLcJ® process offers an alternative to the limitations of conventional processes for the operation and treatment of powders and granules (mixer, granulator, fluidized bed, etc.): batch production, limitations in the ratios of divided solids/liquids, mixing time, residual inhomogeneities / local mixing, energy consumption.

The PLcJ® process, which has been successfully proven in cosmetic, nutritional, phytosanitary, and materials applications, guarantees a Consistency in powder/liquid interaction, avoiding clumping and subsequent particle size calibration, in a fast, scalable process, reducing energy consumption and providing access to powder/liquid ratios that are usually difficult to achieve.

solubilization of macromolecules

Solubilization, dissolution of high-bulk polymers, polysaccharides, proteins, viscosifiers, gelling agents, …

The PLcJ® process makes it possible to overcome the difficulties commonly encountered in the industrial use of polymer ingredients: high solubilization times, inhomogeneities (fish-eye, lumps), risks of damage to chains, generally limiting the concentrations of use.

Demonstrated on various ingredients (PEO, hyaluronic acid, sugar, xanthan gum, etc.), the PLcJ® process, a gentle procedure, allows the rapid preparation of homogeneous solutions even at high concentrations, without damaging the chains, as a batch premix or coupled with an application step (conditioning, dispensing, spraying), with reduced cleaning and energy consumption.

Concentrated suspension of charges

Dispersion, mixing, slurry of organic, mineral, metallic fillers

The PLcJ® process offers a high-performance alternative in the dispersion, mixing, suspension of slurries of organic, mineral or metallic fillers, compared to the difficulties commonly encountered in industrial production: dispersion time, energy costs, concentration limitations, inhomogeneities and variabilities, cleaning.

Subject to proof-of-concept testing on various loads, at powder concentrations of up to 70%, the PLcJ® process enables the Rapid and on-demand preparation of homogeneous solutions at high concentrations, as batch premixes or coupled with a subsequent process or application step (deposition, molding, 3D printing), with reduced cleaning and energy consumption.

Product texturing and structuring

Gelation, encapsulation, pre-emulsification

The PLcJ® process reinvents the texturization process by gelation, encapsulation and pre-emulsification, offering an alternative to the preparation times, variability and inhomogeneities, cleaning requirements of current volume processes.

The PLcJ® process opens up the possibility of a on-demand and rapid preparation of products, particularly homogeneous hydrogels, in wider concentration ranges than usual processes, coupled with application (packaging, molding, bead formation and encapsulation, drying, 3D printing) with reduced cleaning requirements and energy consumption. For high-volume applications, the PLcJ® process even allows for a on-the-fly modulation of concentrations and textures.
