New product design options for high performance detergents

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 parameters and technical configuration.

Benefits of technology: Depending on current application Glatt technology and equipment support solving typical problems and enabling improved product properties: e.g. safety during handling, quick wetting and dispersing/dissolving, homogeneous component distribution, protection of valuable substances, integrated functionality, stability increase, optimized appearance.

Fluidized and spouted bed equipment: All processing options can be carried in different scales and in batch as well as in continuous operation, starting for R&D usage up to full scale production.

Strategy for product and process development: When developing or optimizing fluid bed and spouted bed technology based products and processes, all materials to be processed and all structural and procedural aspects are to be considered. Best properties can be obtained only by optimizing all of these parameters.
Material properties may both influence product properties and offer opportunities for design. Technical options offer additional options for stabilization. The application-specific operating conditions are vitally important and affect explosion protection, operational and product safety, hygiene and more. Some factors to be considered:
» Material properties and behavior of gas, solid and liquid phases (crystallinity, chemistry, pH, particle size and shape, density, temperature, enthalpy ...)
» Technical configurations (dedusting, explosion protection, classification, spray conditions ...)
» Operating conditions (environmental conditions, emissions, permissions, storage requirements ...)

Glatt technologies are usable to add value or improve product properties of dry detergent formulations. Liquids or powders can be processed to innovative products.

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.
