WHY AGGLOMERATE ?

The main objectives behind the agglomeration of powders are:

Shaping the fines

Process dedusting fines in order to obtain a densified and eventually inertized product

Create an homogeneous mix of several components

Improve the appearance of a consumer good and its handling characteristics

Improve flowability in silos, hoppers, etc...

Increase the bulk density by coefficients ranging from 2 to 10

Control the solubility

Improve the chemical, energetical, metallurgical efficiency of the raw materail

Improve handling properties for an easier transport, storage or collection of the raw material
