according to EHEDG-Guidelines, able to CIP The solids dosing screw Type DSC Hygienic has been designed for maximal production hygiene. Besides there is to highlight the possibility of Clean in Place without dismantling. The construction is made of stainless steel in suitable quality. All surfaces are abraded mechanically with middle roughness depth Ra<0,8. All sealings are constantly cavity free. Optionally, all metal parts can be electropolishes. Equipped with a fine dosing device, consisting of dosing-star and locking disc, a pulsation free feeding flow is generated. The locking disc reacts simultaneously when achieving the set-weight. Excellent dosing stability and shut-off precision are the result. The actuation of the fine dosing device is carried out from the driving side. Therefore the srew is very slim at the laying. Also there is no access needed in this area, as the closing can be pulled out through the tube housing. For the manual cleaning process, the complete helix shaft can be extended…

From 18-22 June 2012 some 3,800 exhibitors and 175,000 visitors will meet at ACHEMA to discuss the c Some eight months before the start, the world"s leading event for chemical process engineering, process technology and biotechnology is overflowing with ideas and energy. The cornerstone of every ACHEMA is the exhibition, which is expected to attract 3,800 exhibitors from all over the world, together with the congress, featuring around 900 papers on cutting-edge topics from research and industrial application. This ACHEMA will focus on issues relating to the energy revolution and the shift in the raw material base; moreover, due to the impact of global networking, there is also a surging interest in innovative security concepts. The reorganisation of the halls has proved to be a boon for ACHEMA "classics", such as the exhibition groups Pumps and Compressors or Instrumentation, Control and Automation Techniques. To date, exhibitors from 49 different countries have already registered; emerging regions, such as India and China, are showing great interest,…

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…

Production of granules and pellets from powders and/or solid-containing liquids Glatt"s Technology Center in Weimar stands for innovative technologies for the production of granules and pellets from powders and/or solid-containing liquids. In the last 12 months alone, more than 120 customers from 17 countries used our advanced equipment to develop new product forms by feasibility studies or to optimize the properties of already established products for their production processes. Apparatuses and plants of different sizes are available for such studies - from a laboratory via a pilot up to a production scale. Already established in 1991, the Weimar Technology Center was vastly extended and future-oriented equipped with advanced systems in 2009. After 2 years of successful operation under the new conditions, all expectations were exceeded. At the heart of all process engineering activities are fluid bed and spouted bed technologies for the production of innovative products for all powder processing industries.
