Nozzles

for advanced process applications

Nozzle solutions for efficient pharmaceutical manufacturing

Nozzles are key process components that directly influence product quality, process efficiency, and reproducibility across a wide range of pharmaceutical manufacturing applications. Whether for granulation, coating, pelletization, or active ingredient layering, the right nozzle technology ensures precise spray application and reliable process performance. Glatt offers specialized nozzle solutions designed to meet different process requirements while supporting consistent results from development through commercial production.

LD Top Spray Nozzle

The Glatt LD Top Spray Nozzle combines reliable process performance with outstanding ease of use. Its lightweight design reduces weight by up to 50% compared to conventional top spray nozzles, making handling, installation, and maintenance significantly easier. Thanks to its simplified design with fewer components, assembly and disassembly can be accomplished without tools, reducing setup times and simplifying cleaning.

Designed for granulation and coating applications, the LD Top Spray Nozzle delivers homogeneous and reproducible spray performance, even with challenging formulations. Its advanced anti-clogging technology and drip-free design ensure reliable operation. Since the nozzle does not need to be emptied after spraying, it also saves on binder.

Available in 1, 3, and 6 head configurations, the nozzle can be easily adapted to different process requirements.

Integrated SmartID technology supports the secure identification and verification of critical process components.

Benefits of the LD Top Spray Nozzle

  • Increased process reliability and reduced downtimes
  • No dripping
  • Anti-clogging design
  • Easy handling and excellent cleanability
  • Fewer parts and easy, error-free assembly and disassembly
