Meet the Glatt Experts @ Fi Europe, Booth 6E163

Fluidized bed and spouted bed technologies for sophisticated product design

Added-value ingredients require gentle processes and sustainable packaging. Discover innovative solutions to meet these needs.

At Fi Europe 2019 in Paris, plant engineering and process development specialist Glatt Ingenieurtechnik will present effective methods for enhanced product design with natural ingredients for sports nutrition, dietary supplements and beverage applications.

In many industries, factors such as nutritional requirements, climate change, the debate on plastic waste and the increasing relevance of online media have prompted a shift away from traditional thinking. More and more manufacturers are responding to the need to replace certain ingredients and develop new formulations based on natural ingredients for increasingly health-oriented consumers.

For both applications, Glatt's fluidized bed and spouted bed technologies offer unique benefits in terms of particle design. Sensitive natural ingredients such as vitamins and minerals, as well as fragrances, aromas and other active ingredients, can be produced, protected and refined using these technologies. In a single process step, for example, powders and liquids are turned into dust-free, free-flowing granulates and pellets that are easy to dose. By using spray granulation, spray agglomeration, spray coating or spray encapsulation (microencapsulation), it’s possible to functionalize particles and optimize the properties of sensitive raw materials for new formulations. And, owing to better, more specific and more reliable compacting and dosage processes, potential savings in packaging design can also be achieved. The custom dissolution properties of vitamin tablets, the optimized release behaviour of food supplement capsules and the homogenous distribution of active ingredients are all product advantages that consumers relate to and use to inform their purchasing decisions.

Sales Manager Lutz Heinzl comments: “As a sought-after technology partner for project-specific processes and products that we develop with our customers, we are very close to the market. This expertise is particularly valuable during the concept phase, which is why our customers benefit from the know-how we gain during the development processes in our fields of competence and in cooperation with our university network and research partners.” In addition, visitors can learn about how specific particle structures can be designed using technical system configurations and which drying principles and technologies are essential for optimum product performance.

Company information

Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH
Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH
Glatt is specialized in intelligent particle design for the generation and functionalization of powders and granulates with defined, adjustable properties. The focus is on particles and powders for pigments, catalytic, ceramic or battery materials as well as for granules and pellets as additives for e.g. industrial salts, detergents and cleaning agents, fertilizers, pesticides, food, feed, dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals. Encapsulation of flavors, enzymes, vitamins, microorganisms, probiotics or fatty acids (PUFA) is just as possible as encapsulation of essential oils and other active, sensitive substances to be protected. With Glatt APPtec®, a unique technology for spray calcination, it is possible to generate, coat and then calcine particles in a pulsing hot gas stream in a single process step. As a pioneer in fluid bed and spouted bed technologies, Glatt masters these important processes for the formulation and optimization of particle properties through defined spray agglomeration, spray granulation, spray coating or (micro)encapsulation as well as through combinations of these processes. Also in the high temperature range. Glatt supports the product idea from the early phase of product formulation through process development to scale-up to production scale. Under the leadership of the Glatt Process & Plant Engineering teams, customized production plants for nutrition, fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and biotech applications are successfully planned and commissioned. Worldwide. Whether based on powder synthesis, fluid bed or spouted bed technology, Glatt also offers certified contract manufacturing for customers without their own production capacities.

ProCell LabSystem PRO  Laboratory fluid bed all-rounder now available in its 100% explosion pressure proof PRO version
ProCell LabSystem PRO
Laboratory fluid bed all-rounder now available in its 100% explosion pressure proof PRO version Glatt"s ProCell LabSystem – the most flexible laboratory fluid bed unit on the market – will be introduced in a fully explosion pressure proof PRO version at POWTECH 2013. Integrated in a mobile main unit, this modular lab all-rounder thus allows the use of all process options for batch and continuous fluid bed, spouted bed or rotor processes for a great variety of material systems such as powders entailing the risk of dust explosion up to hybrid mixtures. This compact and modular lab system allows you to process all dusts of the classes St-1 and St-2 as well as organic solvents. Users can benefit from considerable savings in safety reviews prior to trials or production while being prepared for the processing of future product generations. Using the proven concept of "avoiding ignition sources" an explosion is very unlikely. If an explosion occurs nevertheless, it will be enclosed within the explosion pressure proof ProCell LabSystemPRO and there
