Applications of drum granulator
- Processing of fertilizer
- Iron is an essential micronutrient for plants. Iron ore powder or iron-rich by-products can be used as a source of iron in fertilisers
- This iron ore powder is mixed with other nutrients such as NPK (Nitrogen, phosphorus & potassium) to make fertilizer.
- This is mixed in drum granulator and small fertilizer granules are formed.
- Typical process includes the following: –
Raw fertilizer material à Drum granulator (binder added) à Dryerà cooler à Screening à coating à packing.
- Making sintered Iron
- Sintering is a process used mainly in iron and steel plants to convert fine iron ore particles into a porous, strong mass called sinter, which can be charged into a blast furnace.
- In iron ore processing, handling fines < 10 mm cannot be fed directly into the blast furnace because they restrict air flow, cause poor furnace performance, Increase dust losses.
- This fine powder can be made useful by making its granules in a vertical drum granulator, heating in ignition furnace where it gets fused and becomes a porous structure known as sintered product.
- This has a good reduction property and can be used back in a blast furnace or as an application of sintered product.
- Making sintered manganese
- It is used as a feed material for making ferromanganese, silicomanganese.
- Steel Manufacturing.
- Application in sintered products like paper bottle molds etc.
- Improves furnace operation.
- Converting powdered sodium sulphate into granules for better handling and storage.
- The Process is as follows:
– Powder and binder >> mixing in drum granulator >> Formation of wet granules >> Dryer à Screening à Packaging.
- The Process is as follows:
Frequently Asked Questions
Vertical Drum Granulator
What is a Vertical Drum Granulator used for?
It converts powdered materials into uniform granules for fertilizer, chemical, mineral, and industrial processing applications.
What materials can be processed?
The machine can process fertilizer powders, mineral powders, chemicals, soil conditioners, and other fine industrial materials.
