Process technology Food, feed & fine chemicals by Glatt Ingenieurtechnik, from particle building using fluid bed technology to the entire plant in turnkey “ready to produce”.
Glatt Process Food Technology, Feed & Fine Chemicals offers advanced fluid bed technologies for a wide range of applications in the fields of food processing, human and animal nutrition, cosmetics, chemistry and fine chemicals. The competence of Glatt Ingenieurtechnik lies in the development of innovative solutions for the optimization and recovery of powders, agglomerates or pellets. The substitution of powders and liquids by dust-free particles and granules is the subject of many applications in many industries. Thanks to the different coating techniques mastered by Glatt, the qualities of the granules can be brought to a tailor-made functionalization.
Both continuous and batch production can be achieved using Glatt equipment. As a pioneer company in fluidized bed technologies Glatt provides solutions that range from the design of a particule to the engineering and turnkey completion of the whole plant.
Example of spray granulation : Lysine
Spray granulation is the drying of liquid while simmultaneous building particle size. Seeds for the granulation can be charged (external seeds). Alternatively the seeds are formed within the processing chamber by abrasion. Compared to agglomerates, these granules are harder and more dense…
Example of Agglomeration: tee instant with milk and sugar
Agglomeration in the fluid bed has been used for a long time to form granules from a powder. The fluidized powder is wetted until liquid bidges are formed between the particles. Water, solutions, suspensions or melts can be spryed to meet the desired product quality. This technology allows less dust, a better flowability ...
Example of coating: Enzyme
Coating and encapsulation with liquids consists in achieving a change of their surface properties and by this mean working out a different behavior of the particles. Glatt offers several processes for the coating according the type of particles. Coating liquids can be solutions, suspensions, melt…
The technology center
At the Weimar Technology Center, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH provides its customers with all the process equipment needed for the tests. The dedicated measuring instruments allow to follow in real time the evolution of the product in terms of particle size distribution, relative humidity, apparent density, attrition, adsorption-desorption, in order to offer conducting 360 ° investigations.
