This week’s photo is an example of how agglomeration can be used applied to a variety of materials that are often thought of as outside the realm of what is typically agglomerated. This photo, taken at the FEECO Lab Testing Facility, shows algae that has been agglomerated in a pin mixer. You wouldn’t think of Read More…
This week’s photo comes from the FEECO Lab Testing & Tolling Facility. This photo shows a material both before and after it has been run through a compactor. Compaction granulation is a form of the agglomeration process that is referred to as a “dry process,” because instead of utilizing a binder to agglomerate materials, pressure Read More…
