Modular fluid bed/spouted bed pilot plant ProCell® PilotSystem at the Glatt Technology Center in Weimar, Germany
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.
Our modular system with maximum process flexibility in process development, process optimization and scale-up for continuous and batch fluid bed processes allows a wide range of process options.
Process inserts: AGT 12, Vario 25
Modular fluid bed/spouted bed pilot plant AGT® PilotSystem at the Glatt Technology Center in Weimar, Germany
For continuous processes based on fluid bed and spouted bed technology with various process options, our modular plant system is available to you with great process flexibility. The multistage apparatus concept in rectangular design allows numerous interconnection options for targeted influence on residence time behavior or for combining different process steps in process development, process optimization and scale-up.
Process inserts: ProCell® 25, GF 25

New fluidized bed coater module for all continuous coating and layering processes in the fluidized bed
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.
