A non-tower process for continuously preparing granular detergent composition having a density of at least about 600 g/l is provided. The process comprises the steps of (a) dispersing a surfactant, and coating the surfactant with fine powder having a diameter from 0.1 to 500 microns, in a mixer, and (b) granulating the agglomerates in one or more fluidizing apparatus. The process can also comprise further step (a'), i.e., spraying finely atomized liquid onto the first agglomerates in a mixer, between step (a) and step (b). |
