Hot one-pot process – high temperature fluidized bed for simultaneous particle formulation and functionalization

/in /by

Hot one-pot process – high temperature fluidized bed for simultaneous particle formulation and functionalization. The requirements for the high-performance materials of the future pose new challenges for product developers: Innovative applications require increasingly complex materials, but their desired properties can so far only be achieved in cost-intensive multi-step processes. With high-temperature fluid bed systems, plant manufacturer Glatt overcomes previously applicable temperature limits. (German article)

Dried to the point – Thermal processes in the fluid bed

/in /by

Fluid bed technologies are ideally suited for carrying out heat and mass transfer processes, which are in demand during drying. Particles can be simultaneously refined and functionalized economically in parallel with drying by means of spray granulation, spray coating or spray agglomeration. The selection of the right drying process is challenging: it depends on the prevailing conditions in each case and requires a holistic approach. (article in German language)

In one step – Drying by fluid bed spray granulation

/in /by

Thermal drying is an essential process in almost all industries to convert liquid or moist raw materials into solid dry products. A wide variety of processes and apparatus are available to carry out drying technology applications. The selection of suitable processes is usually complex and depends on the prevailing conditions. One possible basic principle for drying technology applications is fluidized bed technology. The fluidized bed is characterized by very intensive process control.
