Drum Granulator (Rotary Drum Pelletizer)
The VIRA Engineering Rotary Drum Granulator is a robust machine used in large-scale wet granulation processes. It works by adding water, steam, or liquid binders to dry powders inside a rotating cylindrical drum. The tumbling and rolling motion within the drum allows fine particles to collide, bind, and grow into round granules of uniform size.
It is one of the most widely used pelletizing machines for fertilizer production and mineral processing, due to its high throughput and reliable operation.
Advantages
- High production capacity with low power consumption
- Flexible pellet size (3 mm – 10 mm) depending on raw materials and process
- Durable shell made of heavy-duty alloy steel
- Rational internal structure with shoveling plates for self-cleaning
- Capable of handling hot or cold granulation processes
- Uniform granule strength and good sphericity
- Low maintenance and long service life
