Abstract:
A process for the production of pourable and free-flowing granular detergent composition containing an active substance at least partly liquid at room temperature and a fine-particle carrier material for the active substance, said carrier material having a mean particle size of 3 .mu.m to 0.5 mm, comprising dropping said carrier material onto a rotating disk where it is radially accelerated by vanes arranged on the upper surface of said disk, and applying said liquid active substance to a stream of said carrier particles through an annular die formed by the outer edge of said rotating disk and a stator surrounding said disk, wherein said carrier material contains no more than 15% by weight of particles smaller than 10 .mu.m in size, 10% to 50% by weight of particles between 10 .mu.m and 50 .mu.m in size, 30% by weight to 80% by weight of particles larger than 50 .mu.m to 100 .mu.m in size and 5% to 30% by weight of particles larger than 100 .mu.m in size.
