Modular fluid bed/spouted bed pilot plant ProCell® PilotSystem at the Glatt Technology Center in Weimar, Germany
Determine the optimum process parameters for your product with us!
For a meaningful and safe transfer from laboratory to production scale, small-scale tests on high-performance pilot plants are required. For this purpose, several application-specific configurable pilot plants of different designs are available.
Different process inserts, filter and spray systems, various cleaning concepts and also the extension by further process steps such as screening, extruding, pelletizing or tablet pressing give your flexibility maximum scope. The focus is on continuous processes. Batch processes are also offered if required.

New fluidized bed coater module for all continuous coating and layering processes in the fluidized bed
Glatt ProAPP® 300 synthesis reactor
A Glatt ProAPP® synthesis reactor with a reactor diameter of 300 mm is available to you for the process development of customized high-performance powders by means of Glatt powder synthesis in a pulsating gas stream. This pilot/production plant allows different process options such as particle formation, drying, calcination and core-shell coatings as well as their combination in a single process step. The knowledge gained in laboratory tests can be used here directly in pilot tests to design production plants.
Unlike our laboratory-scale plants, the oldest pulsation reactor at the Weimar site is not heated electrically but by a pulsating gas burner. This allows process gas temperatures between 400°C and 900°C.
The gas-fired plant has different systems for product separation, so that both hot and cold separation can be realized.
- process temperatures between 400°C and 900°C
- raw material feed rate up to 100 kg/h
- gas heated system
- hot separation via partial flow hot gas filter, as well as cyclone or two different filter systems for cold separation
