Case study – Design of an instrumented pilot bench for high-viscosity product atomization
Sector: Ingredients
Customer type: Group
Contact departments: R&D / New works
The Customer wishes to develop an instrumented spray bench for the atomization of high-viscosity products and calls on RHEONIS for the design, sizing of its installation and sourcing of elements.
Multifaceted expert support
RHEONIS has implemented its complementary know-how in technical devices, material behavior and the design/sizing of devices in a collaborative consulting approach.
The steps in the process were therefore as follows:
- State of the art of spray nozzles, their strengths and limitations for high-viscosity products and recommendations
- Rheological study of the behavior of a critical product for the customer
- Functional analysis of the instrumented device and operational recommendations
- Development of functional specifications and technical options for arbitration by the Client
- Design/sizing of the instrumented bench and cost estimate
- Supplier consultation support

The product/process coupling at the heart of the design challenge
In this project in several phases, it was a question of providing technical and objective elements in the pre-project phase, to assess its feasibility, specify the budget and the degree of innovation required, essential for the Client to arbitrate at each step. As the stages progress, the technical specifications can be clarified and the options discussed.
