Why choose Picko?  

Since our beginnings in 2008 we have proudly built a reputation for delivering flexible, cutting-edge solutions for our customers. We recognise how necessary it is to invest in specialised services to operate agglomeration facilities. Our extensive experience of almost two decades helps us understand how ongoing feasibility relies heavily on ongoing research and development. As a result, we are dedicated to continuously developing innovative binding technologies and state-of-the-art equipment that can adapt to changing raw feed materials and cost implications.

What is agglomeration?  

Most commonly, it refers to the upgrading of material fines into larger particles, such as briquettes, pellets extrusions or granules, but it can also be used to turn sludge-like materials into a dry, granular product.  

The number of sectors accessing agglomeration solutions is increasing, as more material applications are developed. 

Equipment and processing methods depend on product goals and the material’s characteristics. Feasibility testing helps to determine the equipment and combinations needed to produce the best results. 

From an economic and environmental perspective, agglomeration offers a variety of multidimensional benefits.

Some of the main benefits include:
Improved handling & transportation, improved end-product characteristics,
more efficient utilisation of raw materials, by-products and waste materials.
