Fluidized Bed, Spouted Bed and Powder Synthesis by APPtec

Revolutionizing particle design

At the Chemspec Europe 2017, the 32nd International Fair for Fine and Specialty Chemistry 2017 in Munich, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik will showcase fluidized bed and spouted bed processes to stabilize, functionalize and optimize granules and pellets for industrial salts, detergent components, pesticides and specialty fertilizers. With APPtec, the plant manufacturer from Weimar will introduce a new method of powder synthesis by spray calcination to create high-performance powders – for applications such as effect pigments for the coating industry, cathode materials for fuel cells or optoceramics for lenses and detectors.

For product developers, dust-free, easy-to-dose components with defined structure, bulk density and grain size distribution parameters are essential to expedite time to market. Fluidized bed and spouted bed technologies have established themselves as leading processes that deliver reproducible product quality. They combine the formation of particles from powders or liquids with convective drying in a single process step. Augmented Reality presentations will help visitors to experience how multicomponent or special fertilizers can be produced, surfactants and phosphonates can be granulated and enzymes can be coated with a liquid.
Among the many examples of agglomerates and granules that can be processed, it’s also possible to granulate essential oils by spray-encapsulating them as an oil-in-water emulsion and subsequently coating them for targeted release.
Further technical innovations at Glatt Ingenieurtechnik’s booth include homogenous catalysts and high-performance pigments. APPtec – Advanced Pulse Powder Technology – is a new method of powder synthesis and Glatt’s answer to the ever-increasing demand for functional high-performance materials. Thanks to the technical development of spray calcination, particles with completely new properties can be synthesized for the first time. These not only provide a complex stoichiometry, but can also be customized for specific applications — by including mixed oxide systems instead of expensive rare earths or precious metals, for example. Glatt is thus expanding its portfolio by a major milestone in the value chain for Particle Design and Particle Engineering. Up to now, customers have brought their powder with them in order to functionalize it by means of Glatt technology for further processing steps. Now they can develop their high-performance material individually together with Glatt.

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.
