Meet the Glatt PHOS4green experts at the POWTECH 2019 Hall 3 / 3-249

/in /by

Glatt Ingenieurtechnik will be presenting a market-ready process at POWTECH that fulfils the legal obligation of German waste disposal companies to recover phosphorus. In the first step of the two-stage “PHOS4green” process, a suspension is produced from the phosphate-containing ash. The suspension is then spray granulated in the fluidised bed. This results in fertiliser granulates that are available to plants and soil, which can be discharged, filled and delivered directly.

Formulation For Success – Fluid Bed Systemes as Key for the Production of Speciality Fertilizers

/in , /by

From improving durability and flowability through dust reduction to a pronounced depot effect or a targeted nutrient supply via better active ingredient distribution, fluidised bed technology can deliver many benefits. The shape and size of the fertilizer granules can be determined within a defined range. The quantity of fertilizer components delivered to the soil can be adapted optimally, and significantly higher product qualities can be achieved. Solubility and protection against external influences can also be markedly improved.

From Hot Gas Stream to Matt Finish by Glatt Powder Synthesis

/in , /by

Whether it’s rapid prototyping, customisation or personalisation, paint manufacturers can usually only dream of what has long been a reality in other industries. Their ideas are thwarted by minimum purchase quantities, a lack of know-how, expensive machinery or the unavailability of yet-to-be-developed powder types. Thanks to a novel method of spray calcination, test-ready additives for rapid market entry can be ready in just a few weeks.

Enhancing product properties with fluid bed and spouted bed technologies

/in , /by

Fluidized bed and spouted bed are among the leading technologies when it comes to improving the physical properties of bulk solids, such as particle size distribution, bulk density, structure and morphology, in order to deliver beneficial application properties like enhanced dispersibility, solubility and flowability. The combination of processes such as drying, granulating and microencapsulating in a single step provides a cost-effective manufacturing solution.
