Particle Design meets Process & Plant Engineering

The close connection between its two areas of expertise of Process Technology Food, Feed & Fine Chemicals and Process & Plant Engineering is being spotlighted at this year’s Achema trade fair by Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH of Weimar, Germany. In the area of Process Technology Food, Feed & Fine Chemicals, the specialists for fluidized bed technology and spouted bed technology are working on ”Particle Design”, i.e. not only the development and production, but also the optimization and refinement of bulk materials such as powder, granules and pellets on the basis of the innovative Glatt technologies. Examples include the spray granulation of liquids and the agglomeration of powders to create coatings for the functionalization of particles or to encapsulate liquids for the stabilization of sensitive substances.
The specialists from Process & Plant Engineering become involved whenever questions regarding industry-scale production arise. The engineering service provider is an experienced partner for the planning, design and implementation of projects ranging from single production plants to turn-key facilities for the manufacturing of granules and pellets made of powders or liquids. To this end, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik has developed a modular product portfolio, whether it be the expansion or modernization of existing production facilities or the new construction of complete plants. The engineering experts are available as planners of individual project segments, general planners or general contractors.
The offer is directed at manufacturers of foodstuffs, animal feed, cosmetics, ceramics or fine chemicals, but also at pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
Because of their technical and administrative scope, investments in new production plants require wide-ranging specialist expertise along with enormous personnel resources. The complexity of such projects requires efforts that are virtually impossible to expect from a company’s own personnel. In addition, companies are forced to concentrate mainly on their core competencies in order to remain competitive. As a result, the early utilization of outside expertise is the prerequisite for the successful technical, economic and on-schedule execution of complex investment projects. Specialist expertise is of particular importance in this connection, which can very well make the search for suitable partners quite a challenge.
An integrated service concept is being developed from this that unites process and plant engineering with innovative in-house process technology, naturally taking into account the individual technology requirements of the customers.
The design and planning of projects involving the construction of a complete production facility involve numerous other areas of general infrastructure, e.g. systems and facilities for supply and disposal, logistics or building services.

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.
