Glatt presented cutting-edge safety concepts at Powtech 2023 in Nuremberg, Germany that go far beyond current legal requirements. Visitors to the stand discovered which comprehensive concepts and innovations the firm has developed and how they pay off in terms of product quality, fire/explosion protection, operational safety, heat recovery and environmental compatibility.

Hygienic design and product safety

Particular attention is paid to hygienic and safe production, especially in the food sector and for items destined for the consumer market. The company has implemented robust processes in production facilities to meet the requirements of the Global Food Safety Initiative’s Food Safety System Certification 22000 (FSSC), which minimizes product liability in the event of damage, shares the company.

Glatt specialists take structural and conceptual aspects into account, as well as the process itself, to develop new concepts for the dust- and contamination-free handling of highly active toxic products, for example. Design improvements such as securing individual components against overpressure-induced bursting are also part of the process and make cleaning and maintenance work on fluidized bed and spouted bed systems significantly safer for employees, adds the firm.

Tailor-made explosion protection

The firm offers various explosion prevention devices and measures that have been assessed theoretically and subsequently proven in practical tests. Ignition sources are avoided as far as possible; all parts are earthed and an appropriate plant design is chosen to ensure maximum safety. Customers can select from the most appropriate option, whether that’s explosion suppression, pressure relief, inert gas or vacuum operation, mentions the company.

At the Glatt Technology Centre in Weimar, not only are tests done on the production and functionalization of powders, granulates and pellets, but further trials are run to optimize the process. Safety-relevant processes can also be tested at laboratory scale before being used in production, concludes the firm.
