Disc Pelletizer

DISC PELLETIZERS

FEECO’s Disc Pelletizers (also known as pan granulators) are the equipment of choice for converting powdered materials into uniform, round pellets.

Disc pelletizers utilize a non-pressure (tumble growth) approach to agglomeration and work by tumbling material on a rotating disc, with a binding agent and feedstock being continuously added. The binding agent causes the fines (or seed pellets, when utilizing a pre-conditioning step) to become tacky and pick up additional fines as the material tumbles against itself. This causes a “growing” action referred to as coalescence. Once pellets have reached the desired size, they exit the rotating disc via centrifugal force. 

FEATURES

• Size: 24″ – 25′ (0.6 – 7.5m)
• Capacity: 100 lb/hr – 100 TPH
• 6’ (1.8m) and larger discs are lined with expanded metal to reduce abrasive wear.
• A hand-wheel operated jacking screw allows for easy adjustment of disc angle.
• The base and plow support members provide maximum rigidity, while simultaneously allowing rapid disc angle adjustment, without the need for separate plow adjustment.
• Individually mounted vane-type plows easily control and maintain the product layer over the disc’s entire surface.
• The pivot base is mounted on heavy-duty, anti-friction bearings. Automatic lubrication is featured on larger discs.
