Sustainable granulation and refining – Effective fluid bed plant design
German energy prices are among the highest in Europe. More efficient energy use pays off not only in terms of operational cost management, but also in terms of competitiveness and image. Whether in the form of spectacular architecture, as in the case of state-of-the-art, energetically self-sufficient company headquarters, or in silver-grey components for fluidized bed plants – there is always a holistic approach behind successful concepts.

Hot-melt applications for the food and beverage industry – How to safely stabilize vitamins and probiotics

/in , /by

Sensitive substances such as probiotics, vitamins or sustained release dosage forms must be furnished with a functionally protective coating to ensure their safe transport through the intestinal tract. Furthermore, the surface treatment guarantees their release at a well-defined point in time. Hot-melt fluidized bed granulation provides a variety of possibilities for product design.

Customised enzymes for optimal animal feed mixes

/in , /by

Technical processes improve the product properties: Feeds need enzymes that work optimally as well as being temperature-stable and storable. Two methods are particularly suitable for producing easy-to-process granules and pellets from sensitive, liquid enzyme solutions – the fluidised bed and the spouted bed methods. The plant manufacturer Glatt lngenieurtechnik is one of the world’s leading experts in this field and offers feed producers technology and plant expertise from a single source.

Optimising functional ingredients for enhanced nutritional values

/in /by

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.
