In agglomeration, fine powder particles are swirled through the system and combined into larger particles with the aid of water or special spray fluids. This technique is becoming more important, since it brings benefits for industrial processing and for consumers. Agglomerated powders pour better and are dust-free, and easer to make into tablets. Furthermore, additives like vitamins can be applied via the spray fluid. Fluidised bed technology offers a wide range of possibilities that let us meet the expectations of customers and consumers alike. These functions can be applied individually or in combination, depending on requirements. For accurate results, before we fill any large order we develop samples on our laboratory fluidised bed system. This is a big plus, because it lets us make adjustments before we go to scale
Compared to the starting product, powder agglomerates from fluidised bed drying are easier to dose and much easier to mix into liquids. The process results in pourable, easily dispersible grain structures that are also very low in dust. This last factor improves the hygienic situation in processing industries, and helps ensure problem-free, easy to clean, efficient operations. Through agglomeration, all individual components come together into a kind of homogeneous blackberry-like structure. This prevents subsequent segregation and provides for optimum process safety.
