Mixers For Growth-Tumble Agglomeration

The type of particle movement required to mix dry powders can create ideal conditions for particle size enlargement - that is, agglomeration. In fact, mixers are used to make a range of agglomerated products. Agglomerated products are desirable for many reasons. To name just a few, agglomerates have little or no dust, flow freely, and have a defined particle shape, high bulk density, and low bulk volume. This article introduces you to mixer agglomeration by explaining how the process works and describing the available equipment.
