Granular Benzoate
Granular sodium benzoate reduces dust while still dissolving fully under agitation in continuous beverage plants. Granules meter well on automated feeders into sugar syrup before acidification and flavouring. Confirm complete solution on line sight glasses—undissolved granules can settle and spike later batches. White, free-flowing granules without yellow tinge indicate good storage.

History
Granular benzoate cut dust exposure in large soft-drink syrup plants.
Automated feeders standardised granular benzoate on continuous lines.
Low-dust granules remained preferred where occupational powder limits were strict.
