Physical fertilizer quality

Workshops highlighted parameters of fertilizers and fertilizer mixtures – App supports farmers in their work. The Federal Association of Fertilizer Mixers (BVDM) recently held workshops with Deula Nienburg in Volkach, Lower Franconia, and with Amazone in Hasbergen-Gaste near Osnabrück. For one day each, the focus was on optimizing the physical quality of fertilizers and fertilizer mixtures.

GFC 16 – Continuous fluidized bed coating on pilot scale

The new overall concept for fully continuous coating – now also on a pilot scale – includes measures for optimum product treatment, uniform liquid distribution and gentle raw material feed and product discharge. The control system and instrumentation allow meaningful process monitoring. One application example is the coating of fertilizers with biopolymers in order to control the release of the ingredients in a targeted manner.

Glatt at ACHEMA 2024. Hall 3.0 Booth H4

ACHEMA 2024, Hall 3.0, Stand H4: Glatt presents a pilot coating module. Now: Fully continuous coating in all scales for non-pharmaceutical applications. The GFC 16 process module, which the market leader for fluidised bed and spouted bed technology will be showcasing at ACHEMA in Frankfurt, expands the performance spectrum of pilot systems at the Glatt Technology Centre in Weimar. One application example is the coating of fertilisers with biopolymers to specifically control the release of ingredients.

Sewage sludge: pollutant and raw material source at the same time (German article)

The fact that phosphorus is filtered out during wastewater treatment because of its serious consequences for the aquatic ecosystem in turn makes sewage sludge an important source of raw materials. It is this ambivalence of pollutant and raw material source that has led to thinking about alternative disposal methods. One such is sewage sludge mono-incineration. (Article in German language)

Glatt Ingenieurtechnik honored as a “Hidden Champion” made in Thuringia

The State Development Corporation of Thuringia (LEG) launched its new marketing campaign “Hidden Champions – Thuringia’s world market and technology leaders” with a kick-off event on 3 March 2023.
