How Compaction Granulation Supports Agrochemical Development
Does your organization develop or manufacture dry agricultural products like fertilizers? If so, you may want to gain a greater understanding of how compaction granulation can support your product’s development and manufacturing.
Compaction granulation is the process of converting a dry material, such as a powder, into granules of a consistent size range and density appropriate for its end use application. Granulation can be used to overcome a variety of challenges such as flowability, attrition, dusting and transportation. All of these are important factors impacting the cost and efficacy of agrochemical products.
Furthermore, co-granulation is an important formulation technique used to enhance the performance of many multi-component products. Co-granulation is the process the process of blending two or more materials prior to granulation. Co-granulation improves a product’s homogeneity and can be used as a technique to add specialty fillers to enhance the performance of a product.
