Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH
About us
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 powder synthesis, 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.
Products
Glatt ProCell LabSystem: Fluid bed/spouted bed laboratory unit
Our all-round system for maximum flexibility on a laboratory scale: Modular processing applications permit top spray, bottom spray and Wurster coating for fluidized bed, spouted bed or rotor processes in continuous or batch operation. Whether you're dealing with spray granulate or fluid encapsulation, agglomeration for powders, powder coating or particulate coating: Anything is possible.
Glatt GF ModFlex: Plant concept for continuous powder agglomeration
Glatt GF ModFlex - Based on proven fluid bed technology, Glatt offers a newly developed, compact, flexible and modular plant concept for maximum process flexibility, low space requirements, low investment costs, low operating costs, short installation times thanks to plug and play prefabricated modules and ensure operation including hygienic design (EHEDG), high filter performance, integrated WIP and dust Ex version (St 1).
Glatt ProAPP® Lab: Glatt powder synthesis reactor in laboratory scale
The Glatt ProAPP® Lab is suitable for feasibility studies, testing of material and/or process ideas and the production of initial samples and test batches. This reactor can be operated between room temperature and 900 °C (optionally up to 1300 °C). This wide temperature range is achieved by the innovative design of the reactor. The Glatt ProAPP® is particularly suitable for initial experiments with large parameter variations and for optimizing the material system. It can be operated under inert conditions in addition to the oxidizing regime. The Glatt ProAPP® Lab pulsation reactor can produce approximately 100 to 500 grams of powder per hour.
Glatt PHOS4green technology: Phosphorus recovery from sewage sludge ashes and convertion into standardized fertilizer
Glatt PHOS4green technology is a groundbreaking waste-free process that recycles the phosphorus from ash to produce ready-to-use high-quality fertilizers. In the first step of the two-stage "PHOS4green" process, a suspension is produced from the phosphate-containing ash, a mineral acid and, depending on the objective, other components. The suspension is then spray granulated in the fluidised bed. This results in fertiliser granulates that are available to plants and soil, which can be discharged, filled and delivered directly after the desired grain size has been reached.
