How to produce dust-free granulates and pellets from powders and liquids a single process step? Didier Schons, Area Sales Manager, Process Technology Food, Feed & Fine Chemicals at Glatt Ingenieurtechnik Weimar, explains how this is done.
In his lecture on “Creating functionalized phosphorous granules by fluidized bed processes”, he will be discussing the almost limitless possibilities offered by this technology for particle design of bulk solids in all areas of the powder processing industries. The presentation also highlight son “PHOS4green”, a Glatt innovation to recover phosphates out of sewage sludge ashes into standardized fertilizer granules. This waste-free process meets the needs for a sustainable agriculture
Powders and liquids can be granulated, coated, dried and functionalized in the fluidized bed and spouted bed in one step.
Product properties such as dust-free, particle size and particle size distribution, porous or compact structure, particle density, bulk density, homogeneity, hygroscopicity, surface finish, abrasion resistance, solubility, shelf life, dosability, pourability, flowability, optical attractiveness, taste or smell, release behavior/depot effect and others can be specifically influenced in this way.
The key to a satisfying product quality lies in the right choice of process parameters and the large number of their possible combinations.
The presentation will give a comprehensive overview of the possibilities based on product examples and their applications for final products and ingredients, whether as flavor/fragrances, microorganisms, oils, acids, color pigments, urea, texturizers, minerals, trace elements, polymers, phosphonates, stabilizers, proteins, plant extracts, but also as industrial salts, detergents or cleaning agents, seeds, fertilizers or pesticides and so many others.
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.
