Forming Granules

Single shaker unit, frequency-2-10 minutes between filter cleaning, 5-10 seconds for shaking. This may vary as the fine powders form granules and the frequency between the shakes or duration of shaking interval can be extended. In any case, the dead bed time should be kept at a minimum in a single shaker unit. 

Granulating, which is carried out by placing the grains in a rotating wooden drum, in which they are rounded off, forming granules of different sizes. 

This grade of zinc occurs in three forms, — granulated, thin sticks, and thick sticks. 

Owing to a wide range of properties and concentrations of the chosen solutions, the sprayed jet was suitably varied as to its width and the drop size, which is an apparent advantage in forming granulated material having a desired particle size. 

Binder concentration The optimal binder concentration will need to be determined for the formulation. If the binder is to be sprayed, the binder solution needs to be dilute enough so that it can be pumped through the spray nozzle. It should also be sufficiently concentrated to form granules without overwetting the materials.

Compaction Granulation. This process involves the use of mechanical force to form granules (dense particles) from finely divided solid materials.7 In this process (Fig. 24.18) the fine materials are weighed and, depending on the desired grade, thoroughly mixed. The mixture is then continuously fed to a pressure-roll compaction machine that forms the powdered mixture into a dense, hard sheet of material usually about 2-3 cm thick and...
