Selected answer:Does this help?
Explanation:
The dry granulation method (slugging method)

The ingredients in the formulation are intimately mixed and precompressed on heavy duty tablet machines. The slug which is formed is ground to a uniform size and compressed into the finished tablet.

Explanation


Explanation:
Slugging means the slow formation of semi solid hydrocarbons, sometimes
of an acidic nature which are deposited on windings and tanks walls. ...

In more detail:

Purity

The oil must not contain impurities such as sulfur and its compound. Sulfur when present causes corrosion of metal parts, and accelerates the production of sludge.

Slugging

This is the most important characteristic. Slugging means the slow formation of semi solid hydrocarbons, sometimes of an acidic nature which are deposited on windings and tanks walls. The formation of sludge is due to heat and oxidation. In its turn it make the whole transformer hotter, thus aggravating the trouble, which may proceed until the cooling ducts are blocked and the transformer becomes unusable owing to overheating. Experience shows that sludge is formed more quickly in the presence of bright copper surfaces. The chief remedy available is to use oil, which remains without sludge formation after long periods of heating in the presence of oxygen, and to employ expansion chambers to restrict the contact of hot oil with the surrounding air.
