Powdery substances often cause problems during dosing, filling and transport because of their high dust content and poor flowability. Low solubilities and dispersing properties also impair the application of the end product. With the help of fluidised bed spray agglomeration, the size distribution and structure of difficult-to-process particles can be specifically adjusted and improved.
Phytochemicals are increasingly found in many food, chemical and agricultural items. Product and process optimization is becoming ever-more important in all of these industries, with a focus on quality, manufacturing efficiency, stability and formulation costs. Various processes can be used to deliver products with a compact structure. During process development, the most suitable procedures and equipment must be selected, considering the specific project conditions. Case studies, as discussed, can help process engineers and product developers to assess plant configurations in an efficient manner to meet a customer’s specific project requirements.
Health-conscious people also reach for quick enjoyment: Spray agglomeration in the fluid bed from Glatt helps to make powders more quickly soluble and to precisely adjust all properties. In addition, there is the aspect of economy, which is particularly important for continuously operating systems. (article in German language)
Seraplant and Glatt Ingenieurtechnik have jointly developed an innovative technology for residue-free production of phosphate-containing fertiliser granulates from sewage sludge ash.
Fertiliser manufacturer Seraplant from Haldensleben, Germany, recently celebrated the roofing ceremony at a production plant for phosphate-containing single and complex fertilisers for agriculture and forestry use.
Plant protection products, be they herbicides or fungicides, must be dust-free, free-flowing, stable, safe to handle and provide good redispersibility properties. In the future, it will also be important to tailor their effectiveness to deal with particular hazards or pests, and increase tolerance to extreme weather conditions.
Materials of the future require increasingly specific property profiles. Glatt powder synthesis sets standards in the production of new powder materials for high-performance ceramics, battery materials, catalysts or special pigments. (Article in German language)
With the new “PHOS4green” process, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik produces ready-to-use, phosphorus-containing fertilizer granules in a two-stage, residue-free process. (article in German language)
On 25.10.2019, another phosphorus dialogue was held by the Hessian Ministry of the Environment, the THM and the DPP in Giessen to inform decision-makers as well as those involved in the process of phosphorus recovery on the topic. Jan Kirchhof, Glatt, presented PHOS4green as a solution for phosphorus recovery from sewage sludge ash and its residue-free conversion into commercially available standard fertilizers.
To commercialize next-generation cathode materials a lot of different synthesis methods need to be researched and evaluated regarding the attainable electrochemical properties of the materials on one hand, and the scalability of the process on the other. For the high voltage LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode material especially the degradation of the material during cycling needs to be investigated for different scales and techniques. LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) was synthesized using two different methods in different scales: lab-scaled spray drying and pilot-scaled gas pulse drying.
Thanks to its technology- and process-oriented innovation expertise, plant manufacturer Glatt Ingenieurtechnik is an internationally sought-after development partner for research institutions and industry. The Technology Center is the hub for particle design: here, R&D ideas give rise to new processes, product samples, market-ready powders, granules and pellets. (German article)
