Disk granulator - This is a common granulation equipment, which is widely used in the production of fertilizers, feed and other granular products. Partial size control is necessary to ensure the quality and productivity of the product. Therefore, understanding of that, as adjusting the disk granulator to obtain the required particle size, - This is a skill, which each operator and production manager should own. Partial adjustment, obtained using a disk granulator, It is mainly achieved by adjusting the angle of inclination, speed of rotation, supply speed and water volume of a granular disk.
Adjustment of the disk granulator of the angle of inclination of the granular disk:
The angle of inclination of the disk granulator directly affects the time of the material in the disk and the speed of particle formation. Changing the angle of inclination of the disk, You can control the size of the particles. An increase in the angle of inclination will reduce the time of stay of the material in the disk, which will lead to smaller particles. Reducing the angle of inclination, vice versa, will increase the time of stay of the material in the disk and will lead to the receipt of larger particles. Thus, The operator can adjust the angle of inclination of the disk as necessary to obtain the perfect particle size.
Grauling disk speed adjustment:
Disk speed is another important factor, affecting particle size. Higher rotation speeds increase centrifugal force, acting on the material. The material is in the granular disk less time, and the obtained particles are smaller and more homogeneous. Lower speeds reduce centrifugal force. Thanks to this, the material remains longer in the granular disk, and particles become larger. Thus, adjusting the engine speed, You can control the size of the particles.
Adjustment of the feed speed and water volume:
The disk granulator is Wet type granulator. In the process of granulation, the material must maintain a certain humidity. The correct level of humidity plays a key role in ensuring the binding of powder materials in granules. To do this, you need to install a system of spraying over a disk granulator. Too much sprayed water will lead to the formation of too large and uneven particles, While too small the amount of sprayed water will not allow you to form perfect particles. Therefore, in the production process, the volume of water for spraying should be accurately monitored in accordance with the characteristics of the material and the desired particle size.
The amount of material supplied directly affects the size of the particles and the output of the product. An increase in the amount of water supplied will lead to an increase in the size of the particles. This is due to that, that a larger amount of material in a granular disk will increase the likelihood of a collision and aggregation. Reducing the speed of feed will affect the effectiveness of your production. Therefore, the feed rate should be reasonably adjusted in accordance with production requirements and optimal equipment operation conditions.
Other auxiliary methods of adjustment:
- Adding binders:
For some hard -to -formed materials, you can add the corresponding number of binders. This can help increase the strength and stability of particles.
- Using sifting equipment:
After the granulation of the particle is completed, you can sort with the help of sifting equipment. Remove too large or too small particles to obtain a more uniform particle size. Our particle sifter is equipped with three unloading holes, which allows you to quickly sift particles of various sizes.
Adjustment of a disk granulator of particle size is a complex process. It is necessary to flexibly configure such parameters, Like an angle of inclination, rotation speed, feed speed and water volume of a granular disk, In accordance with the characteristics of the material and production requirements. It is combined with auxiliary methods, such as adding binders and sifting, to obtain the perfect size and quality of particles.
