Flat Mold Extrusion Granulator is a specialized piece of equipment that uses a flat, perforated mold to extrude and shape raw materials (often powdery or paste-like) into uniform granular products through mechanical pressure.
Its operation follows three key steps, ensuring efficient granulation:
- Material Feeding: Powdery, fibrous, or wet paste raw materials (such as biomass, chemical powders, or organic fertilizers) are continuously fed into the machine’s hopper.
- Extrusion Through Flat Mold: A pressure device (usually a rotating roller or screw) pushes the materials against a fixed flat mold—a metal plate with evenly distributed small holes. The materials are forced through these holes to form cylindrical or columnar “strands”.
- Cutting and Granulation: A rotating cutter installed on the other side of the flat mold cuts the extruded strands into small, uniform granules of the desired length.
- High Granule Uniformity: The fixed flat mold and precise cutter ensure consistent granule size and shape, which is critical for applications requiring stable product quality (e.g., fertilizer, feed).
- Wide Material Adaptability: It can handle various raw material types, including dry powders, wet pastes, and materials with certain fiber content (e.g., straw, sawdust for biomass granules).
- Simple Structure & Easy Maintenance: Compared to complex granulators (e.g., ring die granulators), its flat mold design is easier to disassemble, clean, and replace, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
It is widely used in industries that require converting bulk powdery materials into granular form:
- Fertilizer Industry: Granulating organic fertilizer, compound fertilizer, or biological fertilizer to improve application convenience and nutrient release stability.
- Feed Industry: Processing livestock/poultry feed into granules to enhance palatability and prevent feed waste.
- Biomass Energy Industry: Producing biomass fuel granules (e.g., wood pellets, straw pellets) for clean combustion.
- Chemical Industry: Granulating chemical additives, catalysts, or detergent powders to avoid dust pollution and facilitate transportation.
