Disc pelletizers (pan granulators) are an invaluable tool in processing powders and fines into easily handled, dust-free agglomerates fit for use in any industry. One of the primary reasons for which this type of agitation agglomeration device is chosen, is for the high level of …
The disc pelletizer, or pan granulator, is the device of choice for processing powdered bulk solids and fines into rounded, dust-free granules, improving handling and transportation qualities, enhancing performance, and creating a premium product. As with most process equipment, choosing the right manufacturer can quickly …
Pelletizing, a form of tumble growth agglomeration, continues to be employed in an increasing number of applications, lending an array of benefits to raw materials, end products, and production lines. As demand for nickel continues to rise in the transition to a low-carbon economy, pelletizing …
Disc pelletizer training is a commonly overlooked, but essential aspect to a successful pelletizing operation. Pelletizing material on a disc pelletizer is considered a blend of both art and science; a number of variables must be balanced to maintain consistent product throughput and produce an …
Pelletized limestone is commonly used as a soil additive for agricultural purposes. Composed of calcium carbonate, this mineral neutralizes a soil’s acidity, raises the pH level, and improves the absorption of soil nutrients. While limestone is available in powdered form for agricultural applications, this formulation …
Pelletizing limestone creates a product with a multitude of benefits. Consequently, pelletized limestone is becoming increasingly popular for residential, agricultural, and commercial users. However, there are a number of material characteristics to contend with before a quality limestone pellet is produced. The following article highlights …
Micro-pelletizing is the process of agglomerating material fines into small pellets, or micro-pellets, from 20-60 mesh. It is can be carried out in either pin mixer, or a pin mixer/pan pelletizer setup. Pin mixers alone are ideal when only small pellets or material conditioning is …
Non-pressure agglomeration, also known as tumble growth agglomeration, is a process which uses a tumbling motion and binding agent to grow material fines or powders into a spherical pellet form. Non-pressure agglomeration methods include: Pelletizing (rotary drum or disc pelletizer): a process where material fines …
Pelletizer plant process audits provide a valuable tool to plant managers struggling with changes in production, under-performance, yield, and more; even for those pelletizing plants performing well, a process audit can reveal inefficiencies that when corrected, can significantly add to the bottom line. The following …
Disc pelletizers, also commonly called pan granulators, are a type of agitation (tumble-growth/non-pressure/wet granulation) agglomeration equipment used throughout various industries to pelletize fines into rounded granules. These diverse pelletizing discs are often selected for the refined granular product they produce, their low recycle rate, and …
