New website for Glatt powder synthesis is online

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.

Powder synthesis by spray calcination with APPtec® now also available in lab scale Another highlight at Powtech 2019 in Nuremberg presented by Glatt, the plant manufacturing and process development specialist, is the continuous powder synthesis method: APPtec®. Using spray calcination in a pulsating hot gas stream at temperatures of 200-900 °C, powders with particularly narrow particle size distributions can be produced from a wide range of starting materials. The unique and easily controllable thermodynamic process conditions make it possible to precisely adjust the product properties — for example with regard to chemical composition, morphology, phase structure and coating or surface chemistry. In addition to the joint development of APPtec®-based powders and contract production, Glatt also offers reactors of the ProAPP® series in various sizes — such as for laboratory scale production.

Targeted Surface Functionalization Are you looking for possibilities to produce powders that meet your specific requirements? Do you want to influence the surface structure and functionality of your particles? Using APPtec®, a unique spray calcination technology, it is possible to generate, coat and subsequently calcinate particles at temperatures from 200 °C to > 1000 °C in one single process step, thus producing so-called core shell particles. The technique enables coat thickness, porosity, and activity to be individually defined. By coating carrier materials, such as Al2O3, ZrO2, TiO2, with a catalytic ingredient, highly active powder materials for an extremely wide range of catalytic materials are obtained. Additionally, it is also possible to coat silicates, ceramic base materials and others with oxide coatings generated from metal salt solutions and slurries. Due to the extremely homogenous reaction conditions and short retention times by applying APPtec®, the coatings are extremely homogeneous

Their share in the paint market is only a few percent, but their effect triggers buying impulses and makes the cash registers of vehicle manufacturers and furniture makers ring. Matting agents. Now, thanks to a novel method of spray calcination, test-ready additives for rapid market entry can be ready in just a few weeks.

New microsite goes live Glatt has launched a new internet platform that explains how its latest technology offers virtually limitless possibilities for developing tailor-made high-performance powders. On the new microsite, Glatt presents its revolutionary thermal process for powder synthesis, APPtec. The abbreviation APPtec stands for Advanced Pulse Powder technology by Glatt, which represents a groundbreaking development in spray calcination. In the hot gas reactor, primary particles can be equipped with almost unlimited adjustable chemical and mineralogical compositions and with previously unattainable properties. In a single process step, size, particle structure and surface can be individually defined and implemented. For instance, functional core-shell particles can be given application-specific layer thickness, porosity and activity.

with tailor-made properties Powtech Nuremberg, hall 3, booth 418: Glatt Ingenieurtechnik will present itself as a global partner for plant engineering and particle design based on fluidized bed technologies and APPtec, an innovative method for powder synthesis At Powtech 2017 in Nuremberg, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik will show how APPtec, an advanced technology for spray calcination, can help manufacturers create particles with unprecedented chemical and mineralogical compositions. Moreover, with fluidized bed and spouted bed technologies, powders and fluids can be granulated, coated, dried and functionalized in one step. The engineering expert works alongside customers from the initial product idea through process development to formulation and final plant construction. All over the world, the requirements placed on the structures, surface characteristics and compositions of powder materials are rising.
