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
Types
Technologies
- Wet agglomeration by instant mixing & fluidbed drying
- Fluidbed agglomeration (batch/continuous)
- Dry granulation by mechanical compaction Low / medium pressure extrusion
