Process and system for manufacturing a solid agglomerate

Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and processes for manufacturing solid agglomerates. In this scenario, the present invention provides a process for manufacturing a solid agglomerate (5), by means of a roller press (10) comprising two rollers (10a, 10b) provided with cavities (11) fillable with granulated compositions, the process comprising the steps of (i) supplying, from above, a first composition in a first upper angular portion (12a) of each of the rollers (10a, 10b) of the roller press (10); (ii) supply, from above, a second composition on a second upper angular portion (12b) of each of the rollers (10a, 10b) of the roller press (10), where, for the same roller (10a, 10b), the second upper angular portion (12b) is located downstream of the first upper angular portion (12a) with reference to the direction of rotation of each roller (10a, 10b); and (iii) pressing the material supplied on the rollers (10a, 10b) so as to form a solid agglomerate (5) comprising a core (5n) formed by the second composition and a cladding (5r) formed by the first composition. The present invention also provides a system associated with the method described above.
