When we talk about molecules, ingredients, and reactions, the molecular weight is determined in its natural state under our current atmosphere. By removing the atmospheric weight on the ingredients/molecules you change the way they react and allow for better evaporation of liquids/solvents and mixing of powders as various densities of products are rendered mute.
The Advantages Of Vacuum Mixing & Drying:
Mixing under vacuum offers numerous benefits which include the following:
- Decreased drying times
- Precision control of moisture content
- Recovery of evaporated contents, whether solvents or water
- Drying at lower temperatures which allows certain ingredient characteristics to stay intact and undisturbed.
- Quick agglomeration of products if agglomeration is desired
