Process for producing granulates of water-soluble dyes by fluidized bed

A process for producing a granulate of difficultly fusible additives for plastics, particularly of pigments, by thermal tumbling granulation, which process comprises mixing the additive in powder form with a granulating auxiliary which softens between 30.degree. and 200.degree. C. and which has a particle size of 0.1-2.0 mm; and subjecting this mixture to a gentle rotary motion, with heating by means of a source of heat being simultaneously applied at least until softening of the granulating auxiliary commences.
