PROCESSES FOR MAKING A GRANULAR DETERGENT COMPOSITION CONTAINING MODIFIED CARBOXY METHYL CELLULOSE

摘要

A process for continuously preparing detergent agglomerates comprising the steps of continuously mixing a liquid binder comprising of a mixture of surfactants and a copolymer of epichlorohydrin and a cyclic amine moiety and dry detergent materials into a high speed mixer/densifier to obtain detergent agglomerates. The ratio of the liquid binder to the dry detergent material is from about 1:10 to about 10:1, and the dry detergent materials comprise modified carboxy methyl cellulose. The agglomerates are then optionally mixed in a moderate speed mixer/densifier to further densify them. Finally, the detergent agglomerates are dried so as to increase their density.
