Current Progress and Innovation in Granulators
​
As you know,granulating equipment is high-speed machinery with sharp edged blades or shafts that help to reduce the size of particular particles especially like grains and other food particles. Granulating technique is widely used in industries like food industry, pharmaceutical industries, and fertilizer industries and so on. Tablets can be easily compressed in minute granular form. Dry granulation and wet granulation are the two types of granulation.
Recent development and researches are going on with granulating equipments. Some of them are steam granulation, thermal union granulation, congeal granulation, moisture-activated granulation and many more.
Oscillating Granulator: This is designed with superior features set with proper industry standards and you can easily find them in granulator for sale . It is quite easy to function. It has longer service time with less maintenance. The hopper capacity is 33 litters. It takes around 110 oscillations per minute. This granulator requires 1 HP electric motor.
Pneumatic Dry Granulator: a meek compaction force is applied to the product to get fine granules. These are then passed through fractioning chambers and compressed to the tablet form. The compressibility and flow ability is maintained at a particular range for this. material wastage is less in this granulator.
Steam granulation: water steam is the binder in this granulating equipment. No organic solvents are used in this. This is an eco friendly process. Uniform distribution and diffusion is easy by the steam. This will give more fine spherical particles with extra surface area. Processing time is less compared to other granulating equipments.
Applications of granulator:
You can crush chillies for toppings. It helps to make chopped, minced, dehydrated garlic and onion. The herbs like senna, bay leaves, tulsi, gloves, cinnamon and others are cut like tea-cut. Food colours are granulated. Other products like gum, fertilizers, and medicines are made into granules before milling these into the form of fine powders.
