By determining the quality of the end product, it is essential to select the most suitable technology approach. Individually adjusted coating parameters By determining the quality of the end product, particle coating is a critical step in many manufacturing processes. To achieve optimum results, it is essential to select the most suitable approach and, to do this, the specific properties of the raw materials, the required functionality of the coating and the intended application must all be considered. The most important aspects to think about when coating functionalised particles are outlined below. From the very beginning, those involved in process and product development must define the target parameters, the desired product properties and identify the technological and commercial conditions. Based on these criteria, a suitable technology can then be selected for production. Typically, this is an incremental process that, based on an initial concept, investigates different production variants. The aim is to optimise the process in terms of product properties and costs.

Enhancing Capacity and Stability by Particle Design with Advanced Powder Synthesis. Enabling the production and refinement of anode/cathode materials and solid electrolytes in a single step, Glatt Powder Synthesis is a flexible and versatile tool for the development and industrial production of innovative battery materials. Although the battery capacity of computers and mobile devices has reached acceptable levels of functionality and performance, there is still room for improvement in terms of charging speed and range, particularly in the field of electromobility. The search for solutions to overcome these issues is a strong driver of innovation. Glatt Powder Synthesis is a technology that is already being used in the production, activation and coating of new battery materials. The key to the effectiveness of this process is the use of a pulsating hot gas flow and application-specific conditions. Developed by Glatt Ingenieurtechnik (Weimar, Germany) to synthesize a homogeneous powder, this technology first uses the raw materials to create a stoichiometric

Joint project “nanoAR” launched for solutions for the clean energy supply of the future New and robust anti-reflective solutions for laser inertial confinement fusion Laser fusion power plants will be the basis for a clean energy source of the future. In order for these to work efficiently and reliably in the future, laser technologies must be available that meet the requirements for high performance and continuous operation. As part of the funding program “Basic technologies for fusion – on the way to the fusion power plant”, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is funding the joint project “nanoAR” with six million euros. In this new research project, nine project partners from industry and research are working on methods for the prevention of near-surface damage and structural reflection reduction of the optical components used. Their approaches could also be transferred to other fields of application for high-performance optics. In laser inertial confinement fusion, high-precision and high-energy laser beams are used

A completely new type of production plant for special effect pigments was officially commissioned at the Glatt Technology Centre. On 30 June 2023, a completely new type of production plant for special effect pigments was officially commissioned at the Glatt Technology Centre. The Dryflux technology is suitable for numerous powder applications. Weimar, June 2023 The pigment specialists at Merck and the technology and production experts at Glatt Ingenieurtechnik have worked closely together to produce an innovative range of cosmetic pigments using completely new technology. The Darmstadt-based Merck Group placed the order for the development and construction of a plant based on chemical vapour deposition (CVD) after successful joint trials at Glatt’s highly suitable location in Weimar. Since September 2022, the patent-pending Ronaflux® pigments have been produced by Glatt in Weimar for the Darmstadt-based science and technology company Merck. Glatt was commissioned by Merck to develop the plant technology and install the complete production facility, which is owned by Merck. Glatt then

In this article, the inherent potential of barium strontium cobalt iron oxide (BSCF), doped and coated zirconium dioxide is described. Summary Using the two sample substances, BSCF and doped/coated zirconium dioxide, it was possible to show that it’s inherently possible to produce complex ceramic substances on a laboratory to pilot scale. The powder synthesis technology used for this purpose offers additional possibilities beyond drying in a pulsating hot gas stream by adjusting the frequency and amplitude to influence particle size, structure and morphology. The flexible development of ceramic raw materials makes it possible to create and test application-specific optimized materials with little effort. After successful testing, the technology can be scaled-up accordingly and the batch sizes adapted to meet actual demand. Innovative ideas for materials and products High-tech ceramics are currently used for various medical and technical applications; but, increasing competitive pressure is leading to growing demand for these special materials. As such, they are only commercially available from

With an advanced powder synthesis process, particularly high-quality nano- and microscale powders can be produced or refined – for example, for dental implants. The composition and homogeneity of the raw materials used are becoming increasingly important in medical technology. With an advanced powder synthesis process, particularly high-quality nano- and microscale powders can be produced or refined – for example, for dental implants. To make the properties of zirconium oxide powders, which are also used in other medical and technical products, even more specific, the particles can be coated, for example. Glatt powder synthesis, a further development of the spray calcination process, is suitable for this purpose. At its headquarters in Weimar, the plant manufacturer Glatt Ingenieurtechnik operates various synthesis reactors and develops processes for highly complex powder systems. The process enables the targeted adjustment of chemical as well as mineralogical compositions of material systems. (Article in German language) » Author: Dr.-Ing.

The German Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS relies on technology from Glatt for high-purity, high-performance oxide materials At its Hermsdorf site, the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS creates high-performance oxide ceramics for medical technology and optical components. The world’s first Glatt synthesis reactor for temperatures up to 1300°C was recently put into operation there, with the powder synthesis process based, for the first time, on a flameless concept with pulsating gas flow. Ceramic high-performance materials play a fundamental role in almost all forward-looking industries: mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, electronics, energy, biotechnology and medical technology are just some of the sectors in which IKTS conducts research. For the production of application-specific oxide nanopowders, the researchers now use the powder synthesis technology of plant manufacturer Glatt to produce powders on a kilogram scale (funded by the Thüringer Aufbaubank (TAB), FKZ: 2017 FGI 0038 and co-financed with ERDF). The technology combines spray
