A GPCG (Glatt-Powder-Coater-Granulator) from Glatt for processes that are uniform, reproducible and gentle on the product using fluid bed techniques.
Batch sizes from 5kg to 1.5t/batch.

All-in-one

From demanding powder coating to simple drying. Whether granulation/ agglomeration, particle coating or pelletizing. Whether spraying from above (Top Spray), from below (Bottom Spray) or from the side (Tangential Spray): simply anything is possible with a GPCG.
In this way, you are just as flexible as your machine.

Unique technology

All GPCGs provide an optimum ratio of air volume flow to quantity of product used.

The conical pressure relief zone and the resulting reduced flow speed allow even very fine products to be processed.

At the centre of granulation is the legendary Glatt single pipe nozzle. This combines outstanding spray behaviour with optimum media delivery and easy cleaning.

Different bottom designs guarantee optimum inflow of the product.

The double-chamber filter system ensures that the process is uninterrupted even when cleaning the filter.
Glatt has been relying on vibrating material filters for over 40 years with very good reason. No system works more efficiently and more reliably. We offer different filter materials for different products and processes. Easy to change and, of course, with FDA certificate of conformity. (-> SC SuperClean®)

Simple handling

Both horizontal and vertical product flow can be realized with all sizes. Contained feed systems using gravity or suction can be provided.
The container is emptied by rotating it in the moving carriage (up to certain batch sizes). Dust-free tipping and feeding into the container on one lifting column.

Emptying can likewise be carried out from the side by means of suction or by gravity or - as the fastest and most effective method of all - vertically with the unique Glatt rotating bottom.

Different process inserts

Top Spray product container

for granulation, drying and powder coating. Large-area bottom for optimum throughflow of air and thus the shortest possible process times. Different bottom designs from the standard sieve bottom to the Glatt wedge wire bottom, which is suitable for CIP. The right configuration for every product and every process.

HS Wurster® insert

The patented Glatt HS Wurster® technology coats particles <2m and works with unmatched efficiency (-> Fluid Bed Coating).

With the standard design, feed and discharge are carried out manually or, if required, automatically with the Total Containment design. Removable nozzles can be used in the process as can an SC SuperClean® design for the fully automatic cleaning of the insert.
HS Wurster® inserts can be used for batch sizes from 100g to 2.5t.

Rotor granulator

Glatt rotor systems are designed for the manufacture and coating of pellets and crystals (-> Pelletizing by Layering). A homogeneously dense product of ca. 5m to 5mm is built up due to the high mechanical forces. RI rotor inserts can be used for batch sizes from 1kg to 300kg.

The GPCGPRO design

The PRO Concept for more safety with less weight!

  • globally unique 12bar pressure shock resistance
  • contained design
  • new design and special materials for 50% less weight in comparison with conventional 10bar systems
  • pneumatic sealing with Glatt-C flanges
  • no pressure relief ducts
  • no escape of hazardous materials in case of accident (-> Total Containment)
  • confirms to ATEX standards with CE labels or EC Manufacturer's Declarations (for partial machines)
  • can be fitted through-the-wall - clean separation of production and equipment.
    Maintenance and service work can be carried out on the work tower during production and without bringing maintenance personnel into the GMP area. Through-the-wall feature can be retrofitted.
