Herbicides and Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs)

Both multi-national companies and independent companies have benefited from Exwold’s expertise in formulating and processing advanced types of granules.

During processing of herbicides and PGRs we utilise a number of different technologies, including:

  • Complex low pressure extrusion (Fuji Paudal) of water dispersible/soluble granules (WDGs/SGs)
  • Pan granulation using a 10 foot pan granulator to produce WDGs
  • impregnation or coating of granules for direct/broadcast application (GRs)
  • twin roller compaction unit
  • for PGR processing only, we have an aqueous formulation plant which is located in an isolated processing bay, equipped with semi-automatic filling lines for 1L to 20L bottles.
