The disc granulator is a commonly used equipment in the granulation process of organic fertilizers, chemical fertilizers and other materials. Its unique design and working principle make it exhibit many advantages in the granulation process. The following are the main granulation advantages and equipment features of the disc granulator:
Granulation advantages
Uniform granulation: The disc granulator uses a rotating disc to form spherical particles of material under centrifugal force, ensuring uniform particle size and regular shape, which is beneficial for subsequent processing and application.
Strong adaptability: The disc granulator has a wide range of adaptability to raw materials and is suitable for granulation of various materials, including but not limited to fertilizers, organic fertilizers, mineral powders, etc., with relatively low humidity requirements for raw materials.
Easy to operate: The disc granulator has a simple structure and is relatively easy to operate and maintain, reducing the technical requirements for operators and lowering maintenance costs.
High granulation efficiency: The disc granulator can achieve high production efficiency through continuous granulation process and is suitable for large-scale industrial production.
Low energy consumption: Compared with some other types of granulators, disc granulators have relatively low energy consumption during the granulation process, which is beneficial for reducing production costs.
Equipment features
Simple structure: The disc granulator consists of a rotating disc, a driving device, material inlet and outlet, etc. The structural design is simple and easy to manufacture and maintain.
Principle of centrifugal granulation: Under the rotation of the disc, the material is subjected to the combined action of centrifugal force and gravity, gradually forming spherical particles. The tilt angle and rotation speed of the disc can be adjusted to meet the granulation needs of different materials.
Edge scraper design: Disc granulators are usually equipped with edge scrapers to remove materials adhering to the edges of the disc, avoiding material accumulation and affecting the granulation effect.
Easy to clean: The open design of the disc granulator makes the interior of the equipment easy to clean, reducing the risk of cross contamination during the production process.
Multiple adjustable parameters: The disc speed, tilt angle, scraper position and other parameters of the disc granulator can be adjusted, which can be optimized according to specific materials and production needs to improve granulation quality and efficiency.
In summary, disc granulators are widely used in industries such as fertilizers and chemicals due to their advantages of uniform granulation, strong adaptability, easy operation, high granulation efficiency, and low energy consumption. Meanwhile, its simple structure, easy cleaning, and adjustable parameters make it one of the important equipment in the granulation process.
