'''Granulators''' are a synonym for [[agglomerators]] | |||
Agglomeration describes a process whereby powders get into contact with one or more liquids to create a perfect mixture of powder and liquid in order to make agglomerates. | |||
Less liquid > small agglomerates. | |||
More liquid > larger agglomerates. | |||
To form or collect into a rounded mass Synonyms: granulation, particle size enlargement The perfect [[Mixers]]/Agglomerator From the first moment on, the product to be agglomerated is combined with liquid in exactly the correct proportion. | |||
Agglomeration processes or in a more general term particle size enlargement technologies are great tools to modify product properties. | |||
Agglomeration of powders is widely used to improve physical properties like: | |||
* Wettability and dispersability | |||
* Flowability bulk density | |||
* Dosing | |||
* Product appearance | |||
