Wet mixing granulator is a device for wet granulation of materials. It has the characteristics of fast speed and good granulation effect, and integrates mixing and granulation, that is, "mixing cutting granulation". Below, the editor will briefly introduce the main structure and application of the wet mixing granulator:
The main structure of wet mixing granulator
The wet mixing granulator is mainly composed of a rotating drum, a nozzle, a rotating blade (stirring blade), a hydraulic system, and a control system. There are also claims that it is composed of components such as an electric motor, a V-belt pulley, a worm gear, a gear shaft, a hexagonal shaft, and a screen mesh. After the material is added to the rotating drum (or mixing bucket), the nozzle sprays the solution evenly onto the surface of the material in the high-speed rotating drum body (or stirring blade), making the surface of the material moist and forming a thin film. Through the stirring effect of the rotating blade, the material continuously rolls and falls upwards, causing the film to gradually thicken and mix with the material.
Application fields of wet mixing granulator
Wet mixing granulators can be widely used in multiple fields, as follows:
1. Pharmaceutical industry: In drug production, wet mixing granulators are used to prepare granular formulations. It can fully mix drugs and excipients to make uniform particles, improve the bioavailability and stability of drugs, and provide ideal granular raw materials for processes such as tablet pressing and capsule filling.
2. Food industry: In food processing, wet mixing granulators can be used to make various seasonings (such as spicy, flavorful, sour, food additives, food coloring, etc.), dairy products, gummies, jellies, pastries and other products. By adjusting the formula and process parameters, it is possible to manufacture foods with different tastes and flavors.
3. Chemical industry: In the chemical industry, wet mixing granulators are commonly used to process granular products of various powdery materials, such as fertilizers, dyes, ceramic raw materials, catalysts, and other chemical substances. It can convert these substances into particles with a certain shape and size, which are convenient for subsequent processing and use,
4. Agricultural industry: In the agricultural sector, wet mixing granulators can be used to produce slow-release fertilizers, etc.
5. Environmental protection field: In the field of environmental protection, wet mixing granulators can be used to treat harmful substances in wastewater.
6. In the field of new energy, wet mixing granulators can be used to manufacture negative electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
