Why Are More Chemical Manufacturers Switching to Dry Granulation?

2026-06-04
Latest company news about Why Are More Chemical Manufacturers Switching to Dry Granulation?

 

Industry Changes in Powder Processing

Over the past decade, many chemical manufacturers relied primarily on wet granulation. Rising energy costs, stricter environmental regulations, and the demand for consistent product quality have prompted companies to reevaluate traditional processes. Dry granulation has emerged as a key upgrade path for modern chemical production lines.

Challenges of Wet Granulation

Wet granulation for functional fillers, catalyst carriers, or chemical additives usually involves:

  • Adding liquid binders

  • Mixing and stirring

  • Drying and dewatering

  • Secondary sieving

These steps increase energy consumption, extend production cycles, and may cause caking in hygroscopic materials.

Advantages of Dry Granulation

Roller Compactors mechanically compress powder into granules, eliminating the need for:

  • Water addition

  • Drying

  • Heat treatment

Benefits include:

  • Reduced energy consumption

  • Shorter production cycles

  • Stable granule structure

Suitable Products

Common chemical applications include:

  • Catalyst powders

  • Metal oxide powders

  • Composite additives

  • Functional fillers

  • Battery material precursors

Conclusion

With the push for energy efficiency and smart manufacturing, dry granulation is becoming an increasingly popular solution for optimizing chemical production processes.
