Weimar (Germany), May 2016: At Vitafoods, Glatt showcased technologies for
innovative particle design. The engineering expert researches and develops
drying, agglomeration, granulation, encapsulation and coating processes for
powders and liquids to protect ingredients or to provide them with specific functional properties. Glatt is one of the world’s leading suppliers of integrated plant
solutions based on fluidized bed and spouted bed technology.
Visitors to the technology expert’s booth were able to delve into a virtual world: Augmented Reality presentations gave a unique insight into the process chambers of
large-scale facilities, where liquids are spray granulated, powders are agglomerated
and sensitive substances are encapsulated. Agglomeration is the only process that
gives instant beverages such as cappuccino and tea outstanding solubility. Probiotics
only remain stable enough to reach the digestive tract with homogenous encapsulation. Spray granulation turns enzymes into compact pellets that are dust-free and easy
to dose. Alongside vivid animations of these technologies, various product samples
were also made available.

Glatt’s core business is plant engineering, so its tailor-made ingredients are produced
on state-of-the-art facilities. Glatt also offers contract manufacturing. At the company’s
Vitafoods booth, the virtual tour explored the smallest facilities – laboratory units for
feasibility studies – as well as pilot plants where process parameters are scaled up, up
to large-scale facilities and turnkey production plants. This unique combination of
technology competence and engineering professionality has turned Glatt into a global
player as well as a valuable partner for research institutes.
As a solution provider, the engineering expert develops the most appropriate technological strategies for many different requirements: Glatt designs, plans and implements
optimal plant layouts – start-up and service support included. When it comes to room
design and hygiene concepts too, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik is among the market’s pioneers: the company works closely with the EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering &
Design Group) to support the development and implementation of new standards. This
holistic approach brings safety on the one hand and commercially beneficial implementation on the other. Every company in Glatt’s customer portfolio benefits from this,
whether they operate in the food, feed or fine chemistry industries.
