Advanced Crystallization Process
Our MSG is manufactured using a precision-controlled crystallization process that ensures consistent crystal size and maximum purity:
1. Concentration Stage
The neutralized solution is concentrated to 30-30.5°Bé at 70°C, preparing the feed solution for optimal crystallization conditions.
2. Seeded Crystallization
Crystal seeds are introduced into the concentrated solution. Under controlled supersaturation, crystals grow uniformly while minimizing new nucleus formation.
3. Whole Crystal Treatment
Warm water is carefully added to dissolve unwanted micro-crystals (pseudocrystals) without melting the primary crystal seeds. This step ensures uniform crystal size distribution.
4. Controlled Grain Growth
Diluted decolorizing solution is added during crystallization to maintain low supersaturation, promoting continuous crystal growth while preventing excessive nucleation.
5. Centrifugation & Recovery
Crystals are separated via centrifugation at 29-29.5°Bé. Mother liquor is recycled into the next batch for maximum yield and sustainability.
6. Drying & Screening
Multiple drying methods available (vacuum box, airflow, conveyor belt, vibrating bed). Crystals are vibration-screened to remove oversized/undersized particles for uniform mesh size.
