FLUID HANDLING
At Health ingredients Europe 2018 in Frankfurt, Germany, plant
manufacturer Glatt Ingenieurtechnik will be presenting a newly
developed modular and compact plant concept for continuous spray
agglomeration. Featuring multi-step and multi-zone processing, the
GF ModFlex is compact, flexible and features a new control system
developed by Glatt.
As more and more people adopt better-for-you diets, the demand
for enriched and sugar-free foods, on-the-go drinks and dietary
supplements is rising. But protein shake consumers will only become
repeat purchasers if the powder dissolves quickly and without lumps;
similarly, eaters of vegan ice cream won’t appreciate the presence of ice
crystals in their tasty treat.
Spray agglomeration during fluid bed processing ensures that proteins
and sweeteners such as maltitol or cellulose derivatives can be properly
wetted, have a more porous surface and are more flowable and easier to
dose. Their bulk density is also significantly reduced, which is particularly
beneficial for beverage powders in pods and capsules, which require
precise dosing, mustn’t segregate and should dissolve completely
within seconds. Even tabletable premixes and temperature-sensitive
substances can be gently processed in this way.
The new concept of the GF ModFlex system is both compact and
flexible, is available with a short commissioning time and offers outputs
of 200 kg to 3 t per hour. Other capacities and a future expansion can be
accommodated. The low operating costs, among other things, ensure

economic-effectiveness, as the concept has been optimised in terms
of energy consumption. The modular, ATEX-compliant solution with
integrated WIP functionality and plate filter was specifically developed
for continuous powder agglomeration applications in limited-height
rooms. Commissioning after an installation period of only 12 days is
possible because the predefined modules are already pre-installed and
pre-assembled. They only need to be plugged in on site and production
can be started right after the acceptance test.
