Physical Properties and Behavior On November 15 and 16, 2017, Delft Solids Solutions organizes the 2-days’ course ” Powders & Granules - Physical Properties and Behavior” More information on this course can be found on the agenda of our website.

Successful 3-day workshop on particle engineering ”From Nano to Macro” The TTC Technology Training Center hosted its workshop “Particle Engineering across the Length scale” at Glatt Ingenieurtechnik in Weimar from October 24 to 26, 2017. Most of the participants were product or process developer or researcher from universities or R&D and production manager from the international food, feed, pharmaceutical and chemical industry. The first workshop day focused on the theoretical background of particle engineering, while the second & third day consisted of several practical sessions in the Technology Center at Glatt Ingenieurtechnik. The possibilities for particle design and particle engineering using fluidized bed processes generated intensive and interesting discussions. The feedback on the combination of theoretical and practical sessions was thoroughly positive. The participants were also impressed by the service portfolio of the Technology Center. Feasibility studies, product & process development as…

IPB Shanghai During 16th to 18th October 2017, the team of UWT International Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. exhibited at the IPB 2017 in Shanghai. The International Powder & Bulk Solids Processing Conference & Exhibition is one of the largest and most comprehensive international trade events in the field of powder, granule and bulk solids technology in China. At the UWT booth, well-known reliable technologies of measurement solutions for continuous and level limit detection were presented as well as the latest sensor probes: The innovative radar sensor NivoRadar® 3000 and the compact vibrating rod Mononivo® 4000. There was a high level of interest for the measurement solutions “made in Germany” and some new projects could be discussed.

Glatt technologies for innovative products Performance and functionality: Owing to their unique flow characteristic and thermodynamic properties, fluidized bed and spouted bed technologies have become established as important formulation processes to optimize powder properties, as well as the particle-forming procedure, when drying solid-containing liquid solutions. Additives functionalize detergents. Surfactants and bleaching agents are used for targeted effect on organic substances. Glatt-technologies enable to improve the effect of detergents while at the same time fulfilling the stringent requirements regarding environmentally friendly cleaning processes and complying with the criteria regarding storage, handling and dosing. Different processing options can be used to develop new innovative product forms as well as to establish efficient production processes. Whether it is spray granulation, spray agglomeration, spray encapsulation or coating – the key to the ideal product is choosing the right process…

Powtech 2017: hot topics at Glatt Ingenieurtechnik’s booth Granulation, coating processes and innovative APPtec-based high-performance materials were in the spotlight - The record attendee numbers at the 20th edition of Powtech (Nuremberg, Germany) delivered a rush of visitors to plant manufacturer Glatt Ingenieurtechnik’s stand. Focusing on particle design, the company showcased its fluidized and spouted bed granulation and coating expertise, as well as a novel spray calcination process using APPtec powder synthesis. On-stand discussions at Glatt Ingenieurtechnik’s booth covered functional coatings for food ingredients and animal feed components, granulates for construction and chemical products, and powders with special properties. Several industry representatives confirmed one-week microencapsulation, spray granulation and spray coating trials at the Thuringian Technology Center to do feasibility studies with Glatt’s process specialists. Successful laboratory and pilot trials such as these are often the first step…

REMBE product novelties: Q-Ball The principal of flameless venting is a REMBE invention from the 1980s, which has changed the world of Explosion Safety like no other. It all started with the Q-Rohr, and is now continued with the Q-Ball. In addition to the requirement that neither flames nor pressure escape from the protection system, flameless venting devices should also be evaluated in terms of their venting efficiency and weight. Because: Low efficiencies mean that more / bigger venting areas and associated protection systems are required. A too heavy weight requires conversions to the vessel in order to ensure its stability. The Q-Ball, which is primarily designed for elevators and screens, uses the principle of the parallel contour relief developed by Roland Bunse. Thanks to the innovative design, the weight of the Q-Ball is very low. While comparable products from other manufacturers weigh around 45 kg, the Q-Ball which only weighs around 25 kg is an absolute lightweight, and 3 kg lighter than…

Mixed spices are homogenized – refined with liquid aromas and ready processed for the manufacture of sausages, marinades, ketchup, pizza toppings, ready-made meals, frozen and tinned food. In the amixon® mixer, high-viscosity liquid components much as oil, fat, lecithin, spice extract and syrup are distributed in a micro fine process in salt, dextrose or grain derivatives. This takes place in a deagglomeration process with a high energy input. Dried vegetables air-dried or freeze-dried - and visible spices are finally added. The second step of homogeneous distribution takes only a few seconds. This enables an easily flowing, dust-free and homogeneous mixture. Its appearance is natural and appetizing. With amixon® mixers you are able to obtain technically ideal mixtures, which are practically not improvable. This applies to almost all dry materials, moist and wet goods. Furthermore, the filing level of the mixer can vary from approx. 10 % to 100 %. With only…
