Fluid bed and spouted bed processes for the production of granules and pellets out of solid and/or liquid raw materials

You have nearly unlimited options in terms of optimized particle design and suitable functionalizations of granules.

The key to the ideal product is choosing the right process parameters, along with the multitude of combinations options for these parameters.

Spray granulation = granules and pellets from liquids

Spray agglomeration = granules from powder

Spray coating = encapsulation of particles with liquids

Spray encapsulation = (micro-)encapsulation of liquids

Advanced Pulse Powder Technology APPtec® to generate high-performance powder materials

This unique spray calcination technology, allows to generate, coat and subsequently calcinate particles at temperatures from 200^oC to > 1000^oC in one single process step.

Complex stoichiometry and doped materials: Chemical and mineralogical composition configured with almost complete freedom
Particles from high-temperature phases: Flexibly adjustable phase composition
Customer-specific coatings and core-shell particles: Targeted surface functionalization
Tailor-made shape, size, and spherical morphology: Precisely defined shape and particle structure

The exceptional thermodynamic conditions of APPtec® offer limitless potential for the development of entirely new types of powder with defined properties. Application examples: Ceramic oxides, complex oxides, doped oxides, catalysts, pigments, battery materials, core-shells.
