From Hot Gas Stream to Matt Finish by Glatt Powder Synthesis

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.

Increasing trend towards customer’s own product

Schüttgut-Interview with Dr.-Ing. Michael Jacob, Head of Process Engineering, Process Technology Food, Feed & Fine Chemicals, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH
At Glatt Ingenieurtechnik, the focus is on processes related to particle design and particle engineering for the development, optimization, functionalization and production of powders and bulk materials such as granules and pellets. Dr.-Ing. Michael Jacob, Head of Process Engineering, Process Technology Food, Feed & Fine Chemicals at Glatt Ingenieurtechnik in Weimar, explains where the current challenges lie in the industry.

Matted from hot gas stream – matting agent with Glatt powder synthesis

Spray calcination // Their share in the paint system is only a few percent, but their effect triggers buying impulses and makes the cash registers of vehicle manufacturers and furniture producers ring: Matting agents. Thanks to a novel process of spray calcination in a pulsating stream of hot gas, new ideas can be turned into additives ready for testing within just a few weeks. (Article in German language)

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.
