commissioning of the plant.<br />
Bespoke production and<br />
installation Although each piece of<br />
equipment supplied by Glatt is<br />
unique, it takes an average of five<br />
to eight months for a fluidised bed<br />
granulator to be ready for shipping<br />
to the client. Before any plant is<br />
handed over, everything is<br />
thoroughly tested.<br />
Glatt supplies everything that the<br />
whole process requires, including<br />
solutions for materials handling,<br />
sanitising, main pipelines and<br />
electricity as well as possible<br />
media supply systems. The<br />
company also engineers processes<br />
for fermentation, liquid<br />
preparations and packing stations.<br />
Should a particular site or building<br />
pose a problem, Glatt can create<br />
appropriate engineering designs<br />
and supervise construction –<br />
anywhere in the world. Its experts<br />
have a free hand to choose the<br />
necessary equipment and have<br />
already realized turnkey biotech<br />
production facilities that are fully<br />
equipped with licensed technology.<br />
Glatt’s global presence<br />
enables its own experts<br />
to conduct appropriate<br />
reviews of specific<br />
regulations all over the<br />
world<br />
Regulatory compliance<br />
Glatt’s global presence enables its<br />
own experts to conduct<br />
appropriate reviews of specific<br />
regulations all over the world. The<br />
company’s American colleagues,<br />
for instance, deal with FDA<br />
regulations and GMPs, while its<br />
Indian team of more than 400<br />
employees is well versed in Asian<br />
regulations. In Europe, Glatt takes<br />
care of issues such as EHEDG, risk<br />
analyses and explosion protection,<br />
and it has significantly expanded<br />
its capacities in classic white<br />
biotechnology at its facility in<br />
Dresden. “For our customers,<br />
Glatt’s high standards are key,”<br />
says Lutz Heinzl, Sales Director at<br />
Glatt Ingenieurtechnik. “They like<br />
to know that the core of our<br />
process technology is of German<br />
origin. The resource-efficient use<br />
of energy and raw materials is also<br />
part of our plant concept. Energy<br />
recovery systems are easy to<br />
implement and bring significant<br />
savings.”<br />
Customers from across the world<br />
value the technology expert’s<br />
extensive facilities and the<br />
personal attention they receive,<br />
and often return to Weimar as<br />
their needs alter and they decide<br />
to change, develop or improve<br />
their products. If, as is sometimes<br />
the case, a raw material is not<br />
permitted to be imported into the<br />
EU, a client can loan or buy a<br />
ProCell LabSystem and conduct<br />
the testing phase in its own<br />
country. ■<br />
