AGGLOMERATION Agglomeration testing in the Innovation Center will tell you if your material is capable of agglomerating, as well as what equipment will be required to achieve the results you’re looking for. We can convert dusts, bulk powders, and sludges into free-flowing pellets for dust-free handling, or to improve product characteristics. We can also test a complete, continuous process with agglomeration, drying, particle sizing, and product recycle capabilities to create a highly efficient process. We can record operating data to assist in process scale-up and design a full-scale production...
