Glatt particle design from nano to macro: ceramitec 2022

Powders and granules with special properties for bioceramics, industrial ceramics, LED applications and batteries for electromobility
From nanometers to millimeters, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik (booth C2.409) will be demonstrating its expertise in particle design for grain sizes from nano to macro at this year’s ceramitec. At the leading international trade fair for the ceramics industry, the fluid bed and spouted bed pioneer will present these technologies as well as its pulsating gas stream process for powder synthesis.

By combining drying, granulating, coating and calcining in a single step, the process expert and plant manufacturer facilitates the efficient handling of solid and liquid starting materials at process temperatures from 40 to 1300 °C. In addition, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik partners with its customers from product idea to production and also offers technology transfer, and services for process and plant engineering, contract manufacturing and factory planning for functional powders, granules and pellets.

With their wide range of process options, Glatt technologies provide almost unlimited possibilities for optimum particle design and the functionalization of bulk material particles. The key to the ideal product lies in the optimized selection and combination of the most appropriate process parameters.

Thanks to the particularly homogenous thermal treatment at up to 1300 °C, ultrafine powders produced using the pulsating gas stream of Glatt’s powder synthesis technology have no undesirable hotspots or hard aggregates and are easy to disperse. Further advantages include the very high heat and mass transfer rates in the reactor and the ability to specifically determine the layer thickness, porosity and activity profiles of powder particles.

Fluid bed and spouted bed processes transform powders and liquids into dust-free, free-flowing granules and pellets that can be precisely dosed and safely handled. Particle coatings and microencapsulation guarantee the protection of bulk solids and the environment, thus ensuring greater storage stability. They also improve sensory appeal and enable the retardation and controlled release of active ingredients.

Company information

Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH
Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH
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.

New Glatt laboratory plant for powder synthesis
Glatt expands technology center with new laboratory plant for powder synthesis In January 2022, plant manufacturer and process expert, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik, expanded its powder synthesis capacity at the company’s technology center in Weimar. The newly installed system ensures a homogenous process temperature throughout the entire length of the ProAPP® 80 HT reactor or the targeted adjustment of temperature gradients. This allows different process steps to be combined. This enables new applications to be developed, the production of high-performance materials at even higher temperatures and more efficient process flows. The newly installed ProAPP® 80 HT laboratory plant significantly expands Glatt’s range of pulsating gas stream powder synthesis applications. This is made possible by maintaining a constant process temperature (from room temperature to 1300 °C) within a continuously operated vertical reaction tube. With this technology, high-temperature phases can be generated in the powders, which are subsequently frozen by extremely

Coated zirconia for 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. 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.

World’s first flameless high-temperature powder synthesis plant
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

Glatt Ingenieurtechnik celebrates continued business success
Plant engineering expert Glatt Ingenieurtechnik marks its 30th anniversary with an investment in the future of its headquarters From vitamins in animal feed and enzymes in detergents to powder materials for high-performance batteries, Glatt, the Germany-based plant manufacturer and process expert, is working on all of these in close cooperation with renowned research companies. In spring 2021, Glatt will expand its technology center in Weimar for the third time in twelve years. Precision landing: Special plant engineering For more than three decades, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik has been by its customers’ side, from laboratory through to production. These collaborations sometimes lead to ground-breaking new systems that have never previously been considered or designed. Some of these are available at the company’s headquarters in Weimar, which is why the plant manufacturer has expanded its technology center several times in recent years. The latest developments include, for example, a fluid bed system made entirely of glass for processing special materials with the highest purity demands
