Detergent Powder Manufacturing: Process includes the steps of Spray Drying, Dry mixing, agglomeration or combinations of these methods.

* In the Spray Drying process, first combined into a slurry, or thick suspension, in a tank called a Crutcher.

* Slurry is heated and then pumped to the top of a tower where it is Sprayed through nozzles under high pressure to produce small droplets. The droplets fall through a current of hot air, forming hollow granules as they Dry.

* The dried granules are collected from the bottom of the Spray tower and are screened to achieve a relatively uniform size.

* After the granules cooled, heat sensitive ingredients that are not compatible with the Spray Drying temperatures (such as enzymes, bleach and fragrance) are added.

* Spray Drying produces relatively low-density powders. Technology enabled the soap and detergent industry to reduce the air inside the granules during Spray Drying to achieve higher densities.

Density powders can be packed in much smaller packages: Agglomeration, leads to density powders, blending Dry raw materials with liquid ingredients. By the presence of a liquid rolling, binder or shear mixing causes the ingredients to collide and adhere to each other, forming larger particles.
