Hot one-pot process – high temperature fluidized bed for simultaneous particle formulation and functionalization

Hot one-pot process – high temperature fluidized bed for simultaneous particle formulation and functionalization.
The requirements for the high-performance materials of the future pose new challenges for product developers: Innovative applications require increasingly complex materials, but their desired properties can so far only be achieved in cost-intensive multi-step processes. The process temperature plays a key role here. With high-temperature fluid bed systems, plant manufacturer Glatt overcomes previously applicable temperature limits and enables the production of catalyst materials in a single-step process.

Greener granulating and adding value – Effective fluid bed plant design

Sustainable granulation and refining – Effective fluid bed plant design
German energy prices are among the highest in Europe. More efficient energy use pays off not only in terms of operational cost management, but also in terms of competitiveness and image. Whether in the form of spectacular architecture, as in the case of state-of-the-art, energetically self-sufficient company headquarters, or in silver-grey components for fluidized bed plants – there is always a holistic approach behind successful concepts.
