Upgrade your products by enhancing particle properties and adding functionality. Drying and granule formation for your products and ingredients in only one process step. Meet the Glatt experts for particle design at Les Rendez-Vous Carnot 2021, 17. – 18. November, Cité – Centre des Congrès – Lyon – France and discuss your product ideas.
New services, capacities, employees: plant engineering expert Glatt Ingenieurtechnik marks its 30th anniversary with an investment in the future of its headquarters
From vitamins in animal feed and enzymes in detergents to powder materials for high-performance batteries, Glatt, the Germany-based plant manufacturer and process expert, is working on all of these in close cooperation with renowned research companies. In spring 2021, Glatt will expand its technology center in Weimar for the third time in twelve years.
In addition to contract manufacturing of granules, pellets and powders in the fluid bed and spouted bed, the plant manufacturer and process expert Glatt offers access to technologies, product and process development as well as special know-how for open innovation projects.

Fluidised bed and spouted bed processes by Glatt offer manufacturers almost unlimited possibilities in terms of optimised particle design and the functionalisation of ingredients, the properties of which can be fine-tuned using spray granulation, agglomeration, microencapsulation and coating.
Sensitive raw materials, especially those that are volatile or of natural origin, require particularly gentle process conditions. Spray granulation, spray coating and (micro)encapsulation procedures have proven to be methods of choice, as they enable high yields, low temperatures and bespoke properties.
From nano to micro –
How to generate narrow PSD spherical particles in one step.
Learn about the generation and core-shell-coating of powder materials with new, previously unattained properties. Long-term stability for battery materials through precise, even coating of anode and cathode materials.
Unique new optical effects and maximum protection for paint and coating pigments. Reduced material quantity by core-shell-coated structures for catalytically active powders.
Powdery substances often cause problems during dosing, filling and transport because of their high dust content and poor flowability. Low solubilities and dispersing properties also impair the application of the end product. With the help of fluidised bed spray agglomeration, the size distribution and structure of difficult-to-process particles can be specifically adjusted and improved.
Phytochemicals are increasingly found in many food, chemical and agricultural items. Product and process optimization is becoming ever-more important in all of these industries, with a focus on quality, manufacturing efficiency, stability and formulation costs. Various processes can be used to deliver products with a compact structure. During process development, the most suitable procedures and equipment must be selected, considering the specific project conditions. Case studies, as discussed, can help process engineers and product developers to assess plant configurations in an efficient manner to meet a customer’s specific project requirements.
Health-conscious people also reach for quick enjoyment: Spray agglomeration in the fluid bed from Glatt helps to make powders more quickly soluble and to precisely adjust all properties. In addition, there is the aspect of economy, which is particularly important for continuously operating systems. (article in German language)
