Georgian client specializes in the extraction and deep processing of kaolin, its products are supplied to the construction industry, pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. The client requested the purchase of a disc granulation line, the main requirement was the performance parameter 10 subject. We conducted a detailed analysis of the characteristics of the client's raw materials, clarified additional technical requirements and analyzed possible optimization options. During the consultations, we proposed a line, fully adapted to the characteristics of the client’s kaolin, including its moisture content and graininess. The line ensures high quality products and stable operation over a long period of time. Kaolin granulation has become an important step to expand the client’s business and increase the competitiveness of its products in the market.

How to Optimize Kaolin Granulation Process for Productivity 10 subject?
Performance 10 t/h is a key parameter for the client, therefore we selected the appropriate nodes for the disk line. The kaolin granulation technology was adapted to the physical properties of the client’s raw materials, including moisture and grain. We have installed adjustable disc with diameter 3,6 meter, which allows you to flexibly change the rotation speed. This ensures uniform formation of granules and prevents equipment overload. Besides, we have added a preliminary system kaolin treatments, which reduces the content of mechanical impurities. Test results showed, that the line consistently maintains productivity 10 subject, and the percentage of defects does not exceed 1%. Kaolin granulation with these parameters becomes most effective and economical.
What factors influence the strength of granulated kaolin particles during disk granulation??
The strength of granulated kaolin particles directly affects its transportation and use, therefore the client paid great attention to this. We have carried out a number of tests, to identify key factors, influencing this characteristic. The main factor is the moisture content of kaolin during granulation - the optimal indicator is 18-22%. We have installed an automatic humidity control system, which adjusts parameters in real time. Another factor is the rotation speed of the disk: optimal speed 18 rpm ensures sufficient compression of the granules. The method of granulating kaolin in the form of discs also involves the use of binders, which enhance the strength of the particles. The final tests showed, that the strength of the granules reaches 3 MPa, which meets high industry standards. Client confirmed, that such granules are convenient for storage and transportation.
How to reduce the percentage of fine powder when granulating kaolin on a disc line?
Fine powder when granulating kaolin reduces the yield of a suitable product, therefore it is important to minimize it. We have developed comprehensive measures to solve this problem. First we optimized the angle of the disk - it is installed at an angle 45 degrees, which prevents the loss of small particles. Then we added a dust collection system, which collects fine powder and returns it for re-granulation. This increases overall raw material efficiency. Besides, we have adjusted the parameters for supplying kaolin to the disc, to avoid overloading and formation of excess powder. The price of the granular kaolin production line includes these additional systems, which quickly pay for themselves by increasing the yield of a suitable product. The results showed, that the percentage of fine powder is reduced to 2,5%, and kaolin granulation becomes more profitable for the client’s business.
