In March 2021, All Season Herbs Pvt. Ltd. successfully commissioned its second 100 L/hr all-stainless-steel spray drying plant โ the single largest capital investment in the company's history. Positioned within the extraction facility for seamless liquid-to-powder process flow, this plant increased total spray-dried extract output capacity by 200%, setting a new benchmark for consistency, particle-size control, and batch-to-batch reproducibility across our entire range.
The Investment That Changed Our Capacity
The second spray drying plant was not an incremental upgrade โ it was a strategic commitment to meeting the growing global demand for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical-grade spray-dried herbal extracts with guaranteed consistency. An all-stainless-steel construction was specified throughout: from the feed pump and drying chamber to the cyclone separator and bag filter โ eliminating contamination risk and meeting the most stringent GMP requirements for food and pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing.
Positioning the new plant inside the extraction facility โ rather than as a separate downstream unit โ was a deliberate engineering decision. It eliminates intermediate handling of liquid extracts, reduces oxidation and contamination exposure during transfer, and allows continuous process control from extraction to dried powder in a single monitored environment. The result is a tighter, more traceable production chain with fewer points of variation.
A 200% increase in spray drying capacity is not just a production milestone. It means we can commit to larger volumes, tighter turnaround times, and โ most importantly โ an even higher level of batch-to-batch consistency for every client we serve.
All Season Herbs Pvt. Ltd. ยท March 2021What Spray Drying Means for Product Quality
Spray drying is the gold standard method for converting liquid botanical extracts into stable, free-flowing powders with defined particle size, moisture content, and active marker concentration. Our all-SS plant produces extracts that meet the most demanding downstream formulation requirements โ from direct compression tablets to hard-shell capsules and functional food applications.

Part of a Long-Term Manufacturing Vision
The commissioning of the second spray drying plant followed the 2018 inauguration of our GMP-compliant finishing and packing facility โ which introduced AHU-controlled blending and milling environments. Together, these investments represent a phased, deliberate build-out of a fully integrated herbal extract manufacturing operation: from raw material intake to finished, packed, labelled product.
For our clients, the practical impact is straightforward: larger volume orders fulfilled faster, with no compromise on the consistency parameters that matter to pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators. Every batch from the new plant is accompanied by a full Certificate of Analysis โ particle size, moisture, assay, and microbiology โ verified against the same specification used for every previous batch.
