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.

Drying and product design in the vacuum fluid bed
Dry, durable, pressure-resistant: Gentle and safe processes for processing extracts containing solvents and temperature-sensitive substances The processing of solvent-containing extracts and temperature-sensitive substances such as microorganisms or enzymes places high demands on process conditions, occupational safety and plant safety. Vacuum fluid bed technology from plant manufacturer Glatt is another way of achieving even more temperature-friendly processes by lowering the boiling point at reduced system pressures. This benefits live cells, products with organic solvents, and also agglomerates with high strength. Aqueous processes and their limits Fluid bed technology is characterized by excellent heat and mass transfer. Each individual product particle is suspended by the process gas to achieve perfect mixing and homogeneous temperature distribution. These well-known advantages of convection drying over contact dryers are utilized for temperature-sensitive products such as yeasts, enzymes and other reactive substances. Efficient drying in the fluid bed enables a variety of other processes such as

Striving for efficient phosphorus recycling solutions Phosphorus recycling from sewage sludge: more fertilizer, fewer heavy metals
Striving for efficient phosphorus recycling solutions
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

Drying liquids – Best technology for nutraceuticals The desired end product properties can make a difference when choosing between spray drying or spray granulation
Drying liquids – Best technology for nutraceuticals
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

Spray agglomerating of plant-based milk alternatives
Using fluidized bed spray agglomeration, particle size distribution, particle structure and particle properties can be specifically adjusted and improved. Spray agglomeration of plant-based milk alternatives for perfect wetting and dispersing properties Powdery substances often cause problems during dosing, filling and transport because of their high dust content and poor flowability. Low solubilities and dispersing properties also impair the application of the end product. With the help of fluidised bed spray agglomeration, the size distribution and structure of difficult-to-process particles can be specifically adjusted and improved. According to a study by the Research and Markets Institute, the global market for plant-based milk alternatives will grow at an estimated annual rate of 9.9% until 2025 (vegconomist 2020). Market shares of almond and soy milk are expected to grow particularly rapidly, at 40% and 37% respectively. At the same time, the application and use of powdered products is increasing. Benefits include the fact that less packaging required, which is more sustainable, and transport is both easier

Stabilize Oxidation-Sensitive or Volatile Substances Protection for essential oils, carotenoids, flavors and hydrophobic substances and other active ingredients by micro encapsulation
Stabilize Oxidation-Sensitive or Volatile Substances
Protection for essential oils, carotenoids, flavors and hydrophobic substances and other active ingredients by micro encapsulation Protecting and drying hydrophobic substances by micro encapsulation Essential oils, carotenoids, flavors or even hydrophobic plant substances are challenging candidates in terms of formulation and process due to their chemical structure. Such substances are usually extremely sensitive to oxidation and to higher temperatures. For many applications, these substances are needed in solid formulations, for example in flavored teas and dessert mixes or as essential oils, neutral in taste and stable over time as additives in baby food. The micro encapsulation process combines the inclusion of hydrophobic substances in a matrix with granulation and drying. In the first process step, the oil is emulsified and encapsulated with an encapsulation material that protects against oxidation – such as modified starches, hydrocolloids or even proteins. Stabilization of the emulsion has a decisive influence on product quality. It prevents the microcapsules from being destroyed

Drying and Stabilization of Probiotics
Increasing the availability of bioactive substances in the gut. Protective coating increases the survival rate and specifically releases the bacteria Drying, encapsulation and immobilization of microorganisms The health-promoting effect of probiotics has been proven by various studies in recent years and is undisputed. The multitude of dietary supplements but also enriched foods is a sign of this. The aim of all these products is the colonization of microorganisms in the intestine to support the existing intestinal flora. The efficiency of the products, especially the number of surviving microorganisms, is crucial for this. The diversity of bacterial strains, their temperature sensitivity and the specific requirements of their milieu rarely allow standard solutions. After fermentation, the organisms must be converted to a storage-stable state – usually by freeze-drying. Sometimes other drying methods are successful. The drying and stabilization of microorganisms in the fluidized bed was investigated in a case study using the example of a lactobacillus strain. The result proves that only a close interaction

Controlled release of active ingredients with the right coating
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
