An agglomeration tank facilitates the mixing of powdered ingredients with controlled amounts of liquid (like water, oil, or binding agents) to form free-flowing granules. This process improves solubility, texture, flowability, and consistency—key quality parameters for food-grade products.
What Is an Agglomeration Tank?
An agglomeration tank is a type of processing equipment used to combine powders with controlled amounts of liquid binders (like water, oils, or syrups) to create granules with better solubility, flowability, and consistency.
Compared to basic mixing tanks, agglomeration tanks are engineered for:
- Even binder distribution using precision spray nozzles.
- Lump-free mixing through custom agitators.
- Gentle processing to protect sensitive ingredients.
