Welcome to the 29th Microencapsulation Industrial Convention

Join industry leaders, innovators, researchers, and technology providers in Weimar, Germany, from 31 May to 3 June 2027, for an international event dedicated to microencapsulation technologies, business networking, and industrial collaboration.

Proudly hosted by Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH, the convention will take place at the Dorint Am Goethepark Weimar, bringing together international experts and companies to exchange knowledge, showcase innovative technologies, and explore new business opportunities.

Building on BRG’s long-standing tradition of industrial conventions, Weimar 2027 combines:

Structured and personalised B2B meetings connecting participants with potential business and technology partners.
Industry-focused presentations highlighting innovations, technologies, and industrial applications.
A specialised industrial exhibition showcasing companies, products, services, and technological solutions.
An exclusive visit to Glatt’s facilities, followed by a dinner hosted by Glatt.
A Gala Dinner and networking experiences in Weimar, creating further opportunities to connect and build lasting professional relationships.

Whether you are looking for new partners, innovative solutions, opportunities to scale up your technologies, or greater visibility for your company, Weimar 2027 is where new connections can become new opportunities.

Microencapsulation for improved bioavailability: So that important nutrients can be taken up and absorbed by the body

While this issue is the most essential for the formulation of pharmaceutical dosage forms, as it determines the efficacy of the drug, studies on the uptake of dietary supplements are only just beginning. However, water-insoluble substances cannot be absorbed by the body and must therefore be converted into a soluble micellar structure. In liquid form, these formulations have a limited shelflife stability, so a drying step follows, which produces a wide variety of product forms ranging from readily mixable powders to dust-free, easily soluble granules or compact, defined pellets. The moderate and precisely controllable process temperature in the fluidized bed or spouted bed is particularly suitable for sensitive active ingredients.

Coenzyme Q10, curcuma or similar substances are typical candidates for improving bioavailability. The process steps required for this can be completely tested from micelle formation to the dry product.

Whether aqueous, organic-based coating solutions, fats or melts, at the Glatt Technology Center in Weimar, we work with you to determine the optimum process conditions for your product in feasibility trials for product development. Various laboratory facilities and comprehensive analytical equipment are available for this purpose. On our pilot plants, we optimize the process and scale it up reliably to a stable and economical production scale. The results from this form the basis for the design and construction as well as the erection of your fluid bed or spouted bed plant, tailored to your requirements. As an alternative to our own process technology, we offer you the outsourcing of your production by means of contract manufacturing at Glatt.

From development to production readiness—microencapsulation of hydrophobic active ingredients and the specific challenges involved in formulation and scale-up.

Meet our colleagues at the B2B meeting and let’s work together to find solutions to your challenges.

Encapsulation out of the liquid in the process of microencapsulation based on spray granulation

Liquids containing solids, such as solutions, suspensions or melts, are sprayed into a fluidized bed or spouted bed. Due to the high heat exchange, the aqueous or organic solvents evaporate or vaporize immediately, and the solids form small particles as carrier cores. These are wetted with further liquid, which in turn form a solid shell around the carrier core after drying. This process is repeated. The granules grow homogeneously in layers. No separate feed of raw materials is required. Alternatively, a defined quantity of suitable carrier cores can be supplied.
