Powder is a fine material used in a number of areas, including food products, medicine, and chemicals. Many industries use this because it can be used to create all types of products. However, powder can, at times, be difficult to maintain and transport and use correctly. That's why some companies have developed a way to transform powders into coarser pieces called granules. They accomplish this through a process called fluid bed dryer working.
One such process is agglomeration spray drying to convert powder into granules. First, the powder is put under heat and pressure. Simultaneously, a liquid is introduced to the blend. This liquid holds great significance as it aids in binding the microscopic powder particles. When the powder clumps up, it becomes larger pieces, called granules. Then, the heat dries these granules, hardening, and strengthening them so that they can be used. Lastly, the remaining powder which didn’t get incorporated into the granules is separated. This leaves granules far easier to process and use as the waste.
Chongqing Tianli is a company that specializes in fluid bed dryer. We know how to make good granules, and we do it well. At our facility, we are using high-end techniques to make sure that the granules we create remain nice and even. Various industries find use for these granules. To do so, we parametrize critical parameters such as temperature, moisture, and flow rate of materials during the process. This ensures precision with granules every time. We also have advanced machines that allow us to produce a greater amount of granules while using fewer resources. Doing this helps us to save money and reduces pollution, thus is good for the environment.
Agglomeration spray drying has many advantages. The powder form does, nay, have one major advantage: Granules are far more manageable, storeable, and easy to tip at rack than powder. Granules ensure less spilling or messes when you have one. Granules also have a longer shelf life because they don’t absorb moisture as easily as powder does. They are worked up to data best to October 2023. Granules also mix and dissolve better in liquids without the formation of lumps, which is normally considered an advantage for applications in cooking or medicines.
However, agglomeration spray drying also presents certain limitations worth considering. Especially if this requires special machines or materials to even begin with, the process can be rather costly and time-consuming. Additionally, not all powder types can be used for this process. Some powders have different chemical or physical properties that render them not easily granulated through this method.
