Targeted control of product properties for fast and improved solubility of protein powders. Several processes. ONE process step only. Perfect solubility. Targeted control of product properties. Proteins are a common ingredient in powder mixes for sports drinks and other protein drinks. Isolating them from complex animal or vegetable sources and then preserving them by drying in a spray tower produces a fine powder with low solubility. Dry your solution in one step to perfectly soluble agglomerates with our fluidized bed technology. Several processes in one step for improved solubility of proteins The combination of our processes such as spray granulation and spray agglomeration in just one fluidized bed apparatus offers maximum flexibility for influencing product properties. In the first zone of the apparatus, liquid droplets dry to form powder particles, similar to the drying process in the spray tower. This initial layer is built up into granules in the other zones by spraying. Spray droplets hit the particles several times and spread across the

Optimal Animal Feed Mixtures: Taste masking. Homogeneous compounds. Processing enzymes, organic acids or essential oils. Gentle processing of animal feed additives Feed additives for large livestock today fulfill a wide variety of tasks. Weight gain in fattening cattle, increasing milk yield or reducing phosphate excretion are just some of the issues in the feed industry. Enzymes, organic acids or essential oils perform specific tasks. Since the ban on prophylactic antibiotic administration, bactericidal oils have become an integral part of feeds. All these products are usually used in feed mixtures and must therefore be robust and free-flowing. Glatt fluid bed and spouted bed technology Processes such as spray stiffening, a special variant of spray granulation, embed oleoresins and other essential oils in a fatty matrix, turning them into compact additives that mix well. Coating processes allow taste masking of bad smelling and tasting active ingredients. In addition, active substances are also often sensitive to temperature or oxidation and, with a protective coating, are given

Phosphorus recycling from sewage sludge: more fertilizer, fewer heavy metals Phosphorus is essential as an agricultural fertilizer. Globally, this indispensable element is becoming increasingly scarce, putting an increasing focus on recovery where natural phosphate deposits are rare. Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH has further developed its patented PHOS4green fertilizer production process so that sewage sludge ash from conurbations with high heavy metal contents can be used. Their removal means that fewer pollutants are released into the environment. Glatt has expanded its PHOS4green process to facilitate the legally compliant recovery of valuable materials from sewage sludge ash contaminated with heavy metals With sustainability now a global priority, the development of circular economies is top of mind throughout society, business and politics. The efficient use of resources, especially the recycling of waste products from material cycles, is becoming increasingly important. A good example is sewage sludge ash. Owing to its high phosphorus

The right coating for detergents, salts, fruit acids and many other products. Improve the functionality of your product through controlled release. Controlled release of active ingredients is a key task for the formulation of pharmaceutical dosage forms. In addition to bioavailability, the release of the active ingredient from the tablet or active ingredient pellets determines its concentration in the blood. The properties of the polymer film, the pH-dependent solubility, the film thickness or the defined porosity are just some of the adjustable parameters to achieve the desired reproducible release kinetics. The key to success lies in the right coating process. For demanding solutions, Wurster coating in the fluid bed has established itself here. Functional active or auxiliary substances are now also used in other branches of industry. As early as the 1990s, detergent and cleaning agent manufacturers started initial trials with fluid bed coating processes for the introduction of dishwasher tabs, in order to release individual components of the tabs at the right time. For example, a water-soluble component was

For the safe operation of process plants, plant engineers can do more than their duty Plant operators in bulk solids processing industries benefit when plant engineers like Glatt Ingenieurtechnik not only develop and build the plants, but also operate them themselves. Contract manufacturing for customers trains the eye for the requirements, duties and challenges of the operator side. Product safety, fire and explosion protection, plant and operator safety as well as environmental aspects are automatically more clearly in focus. Based on its own practical experience, Glatt is far more committed to safety aspects than required by law.

Plant engineers should “go the extra mile” to ensure the safe operation of process facilities Manufacturers in the bulk material industriy can profit, if the engineering and construction company not only develops tailor made solutions, but is a manufacturer itself. Toll manufacturing sharpens the view for the obligations, dutys and challenges on the manufacturing and operation side. Manufacturers need to pay higher attention to product safety, fire and explosion protection, plant and operator safety (occupational health) as well as environmental protection, than required from the engineering and construction side. Being a toll manufacturer themself, Glatt is incorporating the operational experience into the design of their process plants, beyond legal and regulatory requirements. Plant manufacturers and operators must comply with strict operational demands and legal regulations, some of which overlap or must be apportioned to the appropriate party. For the plant manufacturer, examples include conformity procedures — such as risk analyses in accordance with

Our business is contract drying and contract manufacturing using spray drying and fluidised bed technology, we find the right solution for every requirement. Even before the market launch of products, we use our expertise to quickly find solutions. Using spray drying and fluidised bed technology we find the right solution for your drying needs. We also use our expertise to find solutions before market launch of your products. Contract drying and contract manufacturing inprotec AG relies on two different technologies to fulfil all our customers’ requirements as a contract dryer and contract manufacturer: spray drying and fluid bed technology. * Spray drying technology*NEWLINE*In classic spray drying, solutions, suspensions or emulsions are processed into fine-grained, free-flowing powders. The respective product is first finely atomised at the top of the spray tower. The resulting spray mist is dried by the hot air stream within seconds during free fall (convection). * Fluidised bed technology*NEWLINE*When fluidised bed technology is used, a gas medium flows through the feedstock and raw materials. This flow puts the particles into a fluidised state - they mix with the medium. The result is a flowable,

The desired end product properties can make a difference when choosing between spray drying or spray granulation Both spray drying and fluid bed spray granulation can be used to convert liquid products into bulk materials. The most effective process will often be dictated by the desired properties of the final particles and the specific application. Glatt Ingenieurtechnik has a thorough understanding of both techniques and has a long history of designing fluid bed systems that are tailored to individual customer products. Drying solids-laden liquids is frequently used in industry to convert products into a more manageable form and enable their storage at ambient temperatures. The resulting bulk materials are not only more stable than the liquid raw materials, they also have lower weights and smaller volumes, significantly reducing transportation and storage costs as well as any handling issues. To dry liquids as quickly as possible, spraying them into a hot air stream (spray drying) is very effective. It has been used for decades to quickly and cost-efficiently dry large-volume

The WFP-Koni is the smallest continuous fluid bed processor, for the following processes: drying, spray drying, spray granulation, agglomeration and coating. Bulk solids usually require several process steps before the final product is obtained. Drying is one of the most important basic process engineering operations. Moist products with a water content of up to 85 % can be dried particularly gently thermally and mechanically by convective drying in the fluidised bed, where high specific surfaces and an optimum mixing of product and carrier is reached. Nowadays, many powders are dried from suspensions or solutions with the aim of obtaining a very fine powder to improve bioavailability or solubility. And processes that yield dust-free, free-flowing products with good wettability (instant products) or directly compressible carriers. Different processes In the WFP-Koni different processes can be realised: drying, spray drying, spray granulation, agglomeration and coating. By varying the parameters of spray pressure, liquid quantity, powder recirculation, hot air quantities and hot air temperature, powders from less than
