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)
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.
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.

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.
High dust content and bad flowability often cause problems during the filling, dosing or application of powdery substances. This situation can be improved considerably through agglomeration using the fluid bed technology. Glatt Ingenieurtechnik designs und constructs these kind of fluid bed plants for various applications. (German article)
Flowability, dustlessness and easy dosing — these are some of the plus points of granulates produced by fluidized or spouted bed technology. The product design can be specifically influenced by process engineering. (German article)
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. (German article)
For the production of granulates from solid and/or liquid raw materials and the coating of particles, fluid bed plants offer many possibilities for influencing the granulate properties. The process chamber of fluid bed systems must be permeable to the process gas at the bottom and at the top. It is usually bounded at the bottom by an inflow floor and at the top by a filter. The filter is thus of decisive importance for the process. (German article)
Fluid bed equipment is widely used in many areas of industry. A particular focus of the use of fluid bed technology is the coating of particles as well as encapsulation. Especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries there are many applications. In addition, complementary technologies can be used to achieve special product properties. The first part of this article describes the basics of coating, the second part in the next issue will deal with the plant technology. (German article)
