Agglomerators

Batch Agglomerator

Continuous Agglomerator

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

• Batch Agglomerators
• Continuous Agglomerators

Technologies

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