Glatt hands over a large-scale additive coating plant in Scandinavia

After only 10 months of construction, the commissioning phase started in June 2011

In Scandinavia, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH completed a fluid bed plant for continuous additive coating with a capacity of several tons of additives per hour. The customer is a worldwide operating producer for a wide range of different products. These additives are used in various industries like feed, food and fine chemicals.
Glatt"s technology center in Weimar provides facilities for testing different particle coating processes and technologies. In close co-operation between the customer and Glatt, numerous tests have been carried out on a laboratory system with a capacity of 1 to 2 kg to assess the feasibility of, and then to optimize, the coating process based on fluid bed technology. The next step was the determination of the optimal process parameters for different product formulations in a continuously running pilot system. Finally, the results tipped the scales for the customer to order a tailored fluid bed system in Weimar. The scope of the project ranged from the concept to the detailed design, including the delivery and installation of all the necessary equipment by Glatt up to the construction of a new building. After only 10 months of construction, the commissioning phase started in June 2011.
So far, this GFC 2200 continuous fluid bed coater has been the largest plant that the fluid bed specialists from Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH have realized.
For more than 20 years, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH has been designing and delivering systems and equipment worldwide. Food/feed, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals are our main fields. More than 130 employees are working at our premises in Weimar. Glatt Ingenieurtechnik is a subsidiary of Glatt GmbH in Binzen and a member of the international Glatt Group.

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.
