Optimising functional ingredients for enhanced nutritional values

Now that functional ingredients have established themselves as a dynamic market segment, the optimization of particle design has become increasingly important. The growing complexity of functional products is putting greater demands on established production processes. Fluidized bed and spouted bed processes offer manufacturers almost unlimited possibilities in terms of optimised particle design and the functionalisation of ingredients.

Precise design – thermal process for powder production enables fine adjustment

A new thermal process for powder production – Advanced Pulse Powder Technology – is designed to enable targeted particle design. Manufacturers of advanced ceramics can thus achieve unique and customized product properties. (Article in German language)

Particle synthesis in pulsed hot gas stream: Powders tailored to customers’ needs

Glatt Ingenieurtechnik developed a new powder technology that allows powder composition and particle design to be adjusted to meet a customer’s specific application needs. By synthesising the powder in a pulsed hot gas stream, product structures can now be generated that were not accessible with conventional techniques.

Powder production accelerates pulse beat – spray pyrolysis reactor for pigments and catalysts

Powder production accelerates pulse beat – spray pyrolysis reactor for pigments and catalysts.
Tailor-made – this stands for unique, high-quality and suitable. The Apptec process developed by Glatt for powder synthesis, on the other hand, leaves little room for chance. With a pulsating hot gas stream, this further development of spray pyrolysis enables unerring particle design for application fields such as catalyst and pigment development.

Large-scale plant for continuous additive coating based on fluidized bed technology

Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH has completed a fluid bed plant in Scandinavia for the continuous coating of additives with a capacity of several tons per hour. We spoke to Christian Heiermann, Engineering Sales Manager in the Food, Feed & Fine Chemicals Division, about this large-scale plant and about Glatt’s role as an engineering partner in a wide range of industrial sectors.

Fluid Bed Coating – Changing Properties of Solids as Desired

Coating of particles is a critical process step for many manufacturing processes. After all, coating essentially determines the product quality. The appropriate process must be found to determine the properties of as needed for the application. The following article describes, what need to be considered when developing particles.
