About inprotec
inprotec GmbH is a service provider specialising in contract drying, contract manufacturing and contract packaging of powders and granulates. The core of production is spray drying and fluidized bed technology, complemented by processes such as spray granulation, spray agglomeration, matrix encapsulation, coating and wet agglomeration. The company combines and processes solids and liquids in the form of aqueous solutions, suspensions, emulsions and melts. The service portfolio covers the entire value chain: batch preparation, mixing and dosing, drying and granulation, packaging as well as logistics services; trial productions at laboratory and pilot scale are used to determine feasibility, production parameters and costs. The products are purchased, among others, by the detergent and cleaning agents, feed additives, plastics additives, construction materials, fine chemicals and battery ingredients industries. The company is headquartered with production in Heitersheim and operates a further site in the Genthin chemical park.

Processes & Process Technologies
Spray Drying
Classical drying of liquids such as aqueous solutions, suspensions, emulsions and melts into fine particles.
Fluidized Bed Drying
Gentle, homogeneous drying of moist powders, filter cakes and granulates with high water vapor capacity.
Spray Granulation
Forms dust-free granulates with defined size and shape from liquid starting materials in the fluidized bed.
Matrix Encapsulation
Encapsulates active ingredients from liquids and finest powders into granulates with protective and release functions.
Spray Agglomeration
Produces dust-free, easily dosable instant products from powders.
Coating
Coarse powders, granulates and bulk goods are coated for protection and controlled active ingredient release.
Wet Agglomeration
Incorporates liquids into powders and improves wetting, dispersibility and structure of the granulates.
Mixing & Dosing
Preparation and combination of solids and liquids according to customer specifications.
Contract Packaging
Customer-specific filling and packaging of the manufactured powders and granulates.
