The key to successful agglomeration is a proper liquid to solid relationship, both as to the proportions of these materials in the drum and as to how well the solids are wetted by the liquids. The main reason some formulations granulate better than others is that the liquids to solids ratio is nearly ideal. For more details, see Ch 4 of IFS Proceedings 783.
