Twelve days installation time – Compact system for continuous spray agglomeration of fine powders (German article)
Powder agglomeration compactly solved
Protein shakes, capsule coffee and sugar substitutes must be able to be precisely dosed and dissolve quickly; they must neither lump nor segregate. By means of continuous spray agglomeration in the fluid bed, these properties can be precisely adjusted. The new GF ModFlex compact system from plant manufacturer Glatt Ingenieurtechnik makes this economically feasible even for medium-sized productions. (article in German language)
