1-13. (canceled)
A method for producing agglomerate particles having a mean size of greater than 200 μm, said method comprising the steps of:
- (i) producing pulverulent particles by means of a spray-drying process, in a spray-drying agglomeration device having a spray-drying segment (A) in the upper region of a chamber for drying feed liquid sprayed by a feed liquid atomizer (Z1),
- (ii) spraying the pulverulent particles with a binder liquid, in an integrated fluidized bed (B) in the spray-drying agglomeration device, which bed is situated in the lower region of a chamber, in which region the powder of the spray-drying segment from step (i) is sprayed with a binder liquid by means of a nozzle or atomizer construction (Z2) mounted at the bottom of the fluidized bed (B),
- the particles being constantly kept in motion and whirled up during production.
