Oscillating-Granulator
The Oscillating Granulator is a popular granulating machine used for size reduction or forming
the required granule sizes from moist powder material or for crushing dried block stock, sensitive
powders, and granules in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries. Oscillating Granulators
make the quality of granules better by facilitating their flowability and handling.
Applications
- Materials to be granulated and binders (if required) are loaded into the feed hopper at the top of the granulator machine.
- These substances fall onto the oscillating rotor—the rotor rotation alternates between clockwise and counterclockwise.
- The rotor arms with sharp edges work to crush the large agglomerates into smaller particles in an oscillating and rotating manner.
- During the granulation process, the rotor's rotational speed and rotation time can be adjusted. Sieve hole sizes, as well as rotational speed and rotation angle of the rotor, are all the primary factors that influence particle size.
- The crushed particles are then forced through the oscillating granulator sieve to form the desired, uniform granule sizes.
