AGGLOMERATION (AG-1)
Base powder,
sodium carbonate and zeolite, or STPP, are metered by automatic
dosing belts charging all components into a special agglomerator.
Non ionic is metered to the agglomerator by a dosing pump.
The agglomerator
is a high power mixer. Its duty is to mix the base powder with
all the other components and to agglomerate them into small particles
which have a completely different physical structure as compared
to the original "beads" coming from the Spray Drying
plant.
