Coating of cohesive powders using chemical vapor deposition in a fluidized bed reactor

March 5, 2024 | 11:10 a.m. Hotel Leonardo Weimar. Save the date! The lecture presents a novel coating process based on chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In this process, fine, cohesive pigment powders are coated with thin carbon layers. These materials are used in the cosmetics industry and are characterized by exceptional visual properties. The speaker is Dr. Christian Rieck, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik

Phosphorus recovery by Glatt PHOS4green at CRU Phosphates 2024 at stand 36

With PHOS4green, we have developed an innovative patent-protected technology to recover the essential nutrient phosphorus from sewage sludge ashes and use it for new phosphate or compound fertilizers. Recovery of phosphorus from ashes. Direct conversion into fertiliser granules. Heavy metal depletion. Meet us at the CRU Phoaphates 26-28 February 2024 in Warsaw, Poland at stand 36 and learn more about our proven technology.

Glatt wins follow-up order for BioCampus MultiPilot in the port of Straubing-Sand

Straubing/Germany, December 2023 – Weimar based Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH will be responsible for the Detail engineering and delivery of integrated process technology for the multipurpose BioCampus MultiPilot (BMP) demonstration facility in the port of Straubing-Sand. The flexible platform, to be used to scale-up and commercialise innovative biotech processes and sustainable products, will enable start-ups, research groups and industrial companies to further develop, test scale up and optimise their biotechnological processes to pre-industrial scale, validate their economic viability and produce material samples.

Quick convenience for the “on-the-go” generation by powder agglomeration

Instant shakes are extremely popular and a perfect complement to our fast-paced lifestyles: just add liquid to powder, shake and go. Ensuring rapid dissolution, however is key … and agglomeration offers a successful way to process soluble powders when they need to dissolve quickly and completely in warm or cold liquids. Combining the highest product quality with maximum user-friendliness, fluidised bed technology provides manufacturers with the levels of control and optimisation options they need, putting convenience into the production process too!

Glatt Particle Design for Food Ingredients at the FI Europe 28.-30.11.2023 in Frankfurt

We explain how flexible fluidized bed processes can realize your product ideas. Particle size and particle structure can be specifically adjusted. This gives you a direct influence on characteristics such as bulk density, solubility, dispersibility, release behavior and flowability. Improved dosing and storage stability extend the range of applications for the subsequent processing of your optimized ingredients. Fluid bed spray granulation for highly soluble protein granules with improved sinking behavior. Fluidized bed coating enables tailor-made encapsulation of spherical and irregular particles.

Glatt Webinar on ‘Aerosol-based processes for the production of battery materials’ 15. November 2023. Virtual Battery Day

The increasing demand for applications within electromobility or stationary energy storage requires the implementation of novel, sustainable and continuous manufacturing processes as well as processes for coating active materials. Aerosol-based methods based on spray drying / spray calcination and spray granulation by powder synthesis and fluid bed technology are presented using selected examples. First results on electrochemical characterisation are shown.

Exploring new ways to produce cosmetic pigments – Interview with Merck and Glatt about the cooperation and the project

Using completely new technology, pigment specialists at Merck and Glatt Ingenieurtechnik’s technology and production experts have worked closely together to produce an innovative range of cosmetic pigments. The Darmstadt-based Merck Group placed an order for the development and construction of a plant based on chemical vapour deposition (CVD) after successful joint trials at Glatt’s location in Weimar. We interview the partner companies about the cooperation and the project.

Plant safety from the perspective of an operating company

Plant operators in bulk solids processing industries benefit when plant engineers like Glatt Ingenieurtechnik not only develop and build the plants, but also operate them themselves. Contract manufacturing for customers trains the eye for the requirements, duties and challenges of the operator side. Product safety, fire and explosion protection, plant and operator safety as well as environmental aspects are automatically more clearly in focus. Based on its own practical experience, Glatt is far more committed to safety aspects than required by law. (Article in German language)
