Our expertise in particle design and plant engineering for functional powders, granules and pellets focuses on a wide range of products from almost all bulk solids processing industries.
This also applies to milk, whey and vegan raw materials!
There are numerous options for optimizing and functionalizing milk products, plant-based milk alternatives and ingredients:
- dry liquids into free-flowing granulates, such as for plant-based instant drinks
- produce instant products, food supplements, cosmetics with perfectly adjusted solubility like collagen and animal proteins
- dry and stabilize microorganisms like probiotics and bacterials
- granulate powder into tabletable agglomerates like lactose
- control release of active ingredients, for example microorganisms like probiotics and bacterials
- stabilize oxidation-sensitive or volatile substances through microencapsulation such as aromas, vitamins, fats and essential oils
- stabilize microorganisms and make them dust-free and protect the environment from allergens like enzymes, probiotics and bacterials
- improve storage stability through coating for enzymes, probiotics, bacterials
- create functional granules and pellets with defined properties made from solid and liquid raw materials with fluidized bed and spouted bed technology
Animal proteins, peptides

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.

The desired end product properties can make a difference when choosing between spray drying or spray granulation
Both spray drying and fluid bed spray granulation can be used to convert liquid products into bulk materials. The most effective process will often be dictated by the desired properties of the final particles and the specific application. Glatt Ingenieurtechnik has a thorough understanding of both techniques and has a long history of designing fluid bed systems that are tailored to individual customer products.
