The continuous high shear granulator - type HEC™ (High Efficiency Compactor) is designed to produce granular dried products using spray and fluidization techniques. It meets the industrial requirements of converting dusty, light powders into high density, free-flowing granulates in many industrial applications. The HECT is purpose developed to produce compact, highly effective detergent granules.
