The Structure and Working Principle of Pot Granulator

The pot granulator is a molding equipment that manufactures powdery materials into a specific shape. It is characterized by an elliptical spherical cylinder. The equipment is widely used in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, building materials, mining and metallurgy, ceramics, rubber, plastics, fertilizers and other industries.

1. Structure of the Pot Granulator

The pan granulator is mainly composed of a cylinder, a dust cover, a base frame, a motor, a reducer, and a money transfer device. The reducer and the electric motor are directly connected, so that the starting is stable and the transmission efficiency is high. The base frame of the pelletizing disc is welded from profile and steel plate, which is firm and durable without deformation. The surface of the cylinder is provided with a discharge port; the bridge device mainly plays the role of supporting the cylinder.

2. Working Principle of the Pot Granulator

When the pot granulator is working, it is necessary to add an appropriate amount of masterbatch in the pot in advance as the pellet core, and then continuously add water as the pot rotates, and constantly replenish the powder, the masterbatch added during the granulation With the rotation of the pot, the masterbatch in the pot continuously absorbs materials and gradually changes from small particles to large particles. Under the action of centrifugal force, the diameter of the particles changes from small to large, and at the same time they are gradually combined and dense; rotating in the pot After a certain period of time, the particles finally reach the expected particle size, the equipment stops and the finished product is discharged from the discharge port.

3. Advantages and Disadvantages of Pot Granulator

This type of equipment has simple structure, light weight, convenient maintenance and repair, and flexible and convenient process layout.

Disadvantages: The pot granulator needs to add masterbatch when granulating to complete the granulation process; at the same time, after the granulation is completed, it needs to be stopped to discharge the finished product. The continuous working ability of the equipment is also relatively poor. In addition, the production efficiency of the equipment is low, and the labor intensity of the workers is high.
