Agglomeration.
Agglomeration is the process of particle size enlargement and it is used to transform fine material into manageable, usable and saleable products.
What is Agglomeration?
Most commonly, it refers to the upgrading of material fines into larger particles, such as briquettes, pellets extrusions or granules, but it can also be used to turn sludge-like materials into a dry, granular product.
The number of sectors accessing agglomeration solutions is increasing, as more material applications are developed.
Equipment and processing methods depend on product goals and the material’s characteristics. Feasibility testing helps to determine the equipment and combinations needed to produce the best results.

The Benefits of Agglomeration.
From an economic and environmental perspective, agglomeration offers a variety of multidimensional benefits right through the value chain, from raw materials to end-product and waste. These include:
Improved handling & transportation
Improved end-product characteristics
More efficient utilisation of raw or waste materials
Significant dust reduction
Cost saving
Reduction of environmental stockpile footprint
Agglomeration Applications.
