Granulation Technology

What is the granulation technology?

Granulation is the process to make something into grains. We usually use the powder of raw materials to finally get the proper size of granules or pellets. Granulation technology is one of the most important process operations in the production of many things. Such as fertilizer pellets, pharmaceutical tablets and capsules, chemical grains, livestock feed granules, nutrients supplements, coal briquettes, soft metal beads, etc. As you can see, granulation is so widely used, it can influence our daily lives in many aspects. So it is really practical and considerable. Shunxin heavy industry machinery has been researching and developing granulation of fertilizers for more than thirty years. Our elaborately designed and manufactured equipment can deal with most materials. They are of simple operations and high efficiency. These machines are new type fertilizer granulator, rotary drum granulator, rotary gear drum granulator, disc pan granulator, double roller granulator and flat die pelletizer.

 

The purpose of granulation technology that you should know

How to handle the material powders is a big problem many industries have to face, and how to make the products easy to transport, store and use is a even bigger problem. It surely can make your work easier if you can solve these problems properly, that’s why granulation technology comes in handy in so many industries, food, feed, medicines, metallurgy, fertilizers, etc. You can acquire various Shunxin fertilizer pelletizers to make your own pellets, they are cost-effective and durable. After the granulation, you can move or store the granular balls conveniently. Since they are of stable physical and chemical conditions. You can also purchase a whole fertilizer production line to facilitate your pellet plants with higher efficiency and work consistency. The production line is composed by several machines besides granulators, they are compost making machine, fertilizer crusher, mixer, rotary drum dryer, cooler, dispenser, screener, coating machine, and so on.

 

How to evaluate the importance of granulation technology in the production improvement?

Since all kinds of granulation methods are widely used in many manufacturing industries, it is clearly that granulation plays an important role in the production process. We will confirm that based on the quality of the pellet products and their virtues.

1. The granulated pellets are of higher flowability. Once they are fine powders which are hard to handle, now they are round balls you can easily deal with.
2. The granule products are of higher density. Since the pellets are agglomerated particles, they are now have steady shape with proper condensation. You can pile them up in the storage conveniently.
3. The granulation can keep you from dusty mass. Because the granules are dense and of spherical shapes, they will no longer pollute the air. It is a eco-friendly way to bring you a clear environment.
4. The pellets are homogenous and uniformly in size. You need to crush and mix the raw materials before the granulation, so the outcome products are almost identical to each other.
5. The pelletized granules are stable. After the whole granulation process, the physical and chemical properties of the products are set, and won’t change easily. You can transport or store them conveniently.

 

 

Ngakho-ke ukugqugquzelwa kunenzuzo eningi, futhi kufanele ngokuphelele ukuletha ibhizinisi lakho. Uma unayo imishini ephezulu ye-granulator, Ngokuqinisekile bangakulethela inzuzo enkulu. Ukwazi okuningi ngabo, Bheka amakhasi womkhiqizo wethu, noma nje Sibuze. Wamukelekile nganoma yisiphi isikhathi.

Izinhlobo zobuchwepheshe be-granution ongazikhethela izitshalo zakho ze-pellet

Umgomo oyisisekelo wazo zonke izinhlobo zezinkangu ziyefana. Kepha uma eza ezansi ezintweni ezithile ezingavuthiwe, Kuba yinkimbinkimbi ngezinyathelo ezinemininingwane ezinemininingwane. Imvamisa sibahlukanisa zibe izinhlobo ezimbili eziphambili, imingcele eyomile futhi emanzi. I-pelleting eyomile ngokuyinhloko sebenzisa amandla anamandla okucindezela ukuze wenze ama-pellets. Shunxin Ama-gralisators owomile ayisebenzi futhi ilula-ukusebenza, Inqubo ye-granution ingabiwa futhi isheshe. But not all the materials are suitable for high pressure process. That’s why we adopts wet pelletizing method. Actually, wet granulation has longer developing history. You can further categorise it into several varieties, like freeze granulation, steam granulation, microgranulation, etc. Since wet pelletizing demands complex and longer operation stages, you really need high-end Shunxin machines to ensure the work quality. Besides, the liquid binders we use during the wet granulating is water steam or vapor, they are cheap and safe.

 

How can you make the qualified granules using Shunxin pelletizers?

Although there are numerous kinds of raw materials and many different ways of granulation, there are several crucial steps in common.

 

 

1. If you use the organic materials, make sure to ferment them properly. You can use Shunxin compost making machines to properly prepare them.
2. Crush the material bulks into powder, so that you can granulate them easier later. Shunxin fertilizer crusher can work well and with high efficiency.
3. If you do the wet granulation or single element pelletizing, you can pass this step. You can mix the material particles in the Shunxin fertilizer mixer to get formulated powder. With them, you can make homogenous pellets.
4. Put the powders into the Shunxin granulators and start the machine, simple operations, but large production capacity. If you want mass production, just keep adding the materials in while the qualified pellets are out, the continuous granulation surely will meet your desire.
5. If you want more beautiful pellets for commercial purpose, we have Shunxin fertilizer pellet polishing machine. It can make your fertilizer granules smoother, denser and brighter.
6. If the products still have some water content you need to get rid of, you can use Shunxin rotary drum dryer to quickly dissipate the moisture.
7. If the products are a little high in temperature, which is not so good to preserve the nutrients in the fertilizers, you can use Shunxin rotary drum cooler to cool the spherules down.

There are still some miscellaneous steps to sieve, desut, coat and pack the pellets, Shunxin company also has relevant machines to do the works. If you have any doubts, feel free to consult us.
