Powder applications for agrochemical

Water Dispersible Granule Manufacturing

LCI is widely known in the agrochemical industry for its processing technology for the creation of water dispersible granules (WDGs). Water Dispersible Granules (also called Water Soluble Granules) offer improved handling, storage, safety, and performance compared to a liquid alternative.

WDGs are widely used as the preferred form for many agrochemical products including:

  • Pesticides
  • Herbicides
  • Fungicides
  • Insecticides
  • Fertilizers

We provide technology and process expertise for the entire WDG production process. Our laboratory equipment is used to develop new formulations and provides easy scale up data for our fully integrated WDG production systems.

Our comprehensive line of powder handling technology allows us to provide turnkey continuous WDG production systems for our clients. Our capabilities and expertise include feeding, wet mixing, extrusion, and spheronization.

Xtruder™ Radial Extruder

Production scale twin screw extruder with screens are capable of producing 0.5mm to 2.0mm diameter extrudates. The Xtruder can be provided with a cooling option for temperature sensitive material and has a bypass feature that allows for pressure relief.

Twin Dome Granulator™ Extruder

The patented Twin Dome Granulator (TDG) Extruder offers high capacity twin screw extrusion through a hemi-spherical die that allows for uniform extrusion pressure and shear.

Xtruder™ (Axial) Extruder

Twin screws transport the wet material to the extrusion zone where it is wiped through the perforated axial die plate to produce well-formed cylindrical extrudates of a controlled diameter.

Multi Granulator MG-55 Lab Extruder

Most versatile laboratory extruder used to create granules ranging from 0.6mm to 8.0mm in diameter with three extrusion configurations.

Basket Granulator BR-150 Lab Extruder

Laboratory basket extruder to create granules from 0.6mm to 1.2mm in diameter. The BR-150’s size and unique features allow it to evaluate small batch sizes, while generating product indicative of a full-scale basket production system.

Benchtop Granulator BTG (KAR-75) Lab Extruder

Table-top device that provides the researcher and new product developer a means to quickly evaluate low pressure extrusion. Due to the small quantities required for evaluation (minimum 100 grams), the BTG can be used to evaluate new, valuable products that are not often available in large quantities or that are too costly to use for testing.
