At Fi Europe in Paris from December 2-4, 2025, the Glatt team will showcase how manufacturers of food, feed, dietary supplements and nutraceuticals can adjust the functional and technological properties of their ingredients.
The optimal process for converting liquid products into powders, granules and other bulk materials is determined by the desired properties of the final particles and the specific application.
Through spray drying, granulation, microencapsulation, coating or agglomeration with tailored process parameters, Glatt optimises product properties and develops innovative ingredients for functional foods.
Creating added value
Collagen and proteins that do not easily dissolve, as well as instant foods, are given a compact but porous structure with improved solubility through combined spray granulation and spray agglomeration.
Simple spray-dried products or liquids are transformed into dust-free, free-flowing granules through spray agglomeration, which dissolve easily and do not clump.
Coating or microencapsulation can both protect and release volatile or sensitive ingredients such as flavours, vitamins, essential fatty acids and micronutrients in a controlled manner.
Enriching ingredients with functionality
Ingredients for premixes or food and feed compounds can be precisely conditioned in the fluidised and spouted bed for further processing, for example, for plant-based products and meat alternatives.
Parameters such as bulk density, flowability and particle stability of ingredients are exactly adjusted in spray granulation to improve handling.
Glatt offers customers a range of services for particle design and plant engineering for the development and manufacture of functional powders, granules and pellets.
The services offered include product development, process development, contract manufacturing and process equipment from concept to full-scale industrial production.
