Investigations of continuous disc granulation process

Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2012, Vol 66, Issue 5

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the study of process-equipment parameters influence on the properties of product formed in the continuous, wet, drum granulation process. Plate rotational speed, the inclination angle of its axis and the intensity of powder material delivery were treated as variable parameters. Foundry bentonite powder was used as model of fine-grained material and distilled water as binding liquid. Constant ratio between the intensity of binding liquid delivery and the intensity of raw material delivery, equal to 0.4 kg of liquid/kg of powder, was applied. The influence of study parameters on the average size of granules in the final product obtained after the establishment of continuous process conditions was worked out in this study.
