Particle and bulk material functionalization by coating

/in , /by

All coating parameters individually adjusted: The coating process determines the quality of the end product. In order to achieve optimum results, it is therefore essential to determine the most suitable coating process. To do this, the specific properties of the raw materials and the required functionality of the respective coating in the intended application must be taken into account.

Refinement for improved solubility

/in , /by

Whether instant coffee, protein powder, spice mixes or baby food – they all have a common basis: a technology that usually remains in the background but is essential for modern food production. However, the processing of powders poses major challenges for food manufacturers. The fine particles tend to clump together, develop dust or, in the worst case, even become contaminated. At the same time, quality and hygiene requirements are constantly increasing. So how can powders be processed in such a way that they flow evenly, are precisely dosed and retain their valuable ingredients?

Phosphorus recycling from sewage sludge: more fertilizer, fewer heavy metals: Phosphorus is essential as an agricultural fertilizer. Globally, this indispensable element is becoming increasingly scarce, putting an increasing focus on recovery where natural phosphate deposits are rare. Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH has further developed its patented PHOS4green fertilizer production process so that sewage sludge ash from conurbations with high heavy metal contents can be used. Their removal means that fewer pollutants are released into the environment. Glatt has expanded its PHOS4green process to facilitate the legally compliant recovery of valuable materials from sewage sludge ash contaminated with heavy metals

Spray drying versus spray granulation

/in /by

Desired product properties make the difference. If liquid starting products are to be converted into bulk materials, both the spray drying and fluidized bed spray granulation processes are used. The choice of the optimum technology depends on which particle properties need to be set to enable the specific applications.

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

/in , /by

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!
