The motor drives pulleys, and the reducer drives the main shaft, which makes the whole machine work.The driver adopts high quality U-steel to make sure the machine work stable. What’s more, different power decides the different fertilizer capacity. Meanwhile, we use the wear-resistance materials to build them up so as to serve long time.

Moreover, when you are making compound fertilizer by disc pan granulator, it’s difficult for you to add some steam in. Rotary granulator machine realizes this production technology.

The large gearwheel is installed on the cylinder body and works with the small gearwheel. They all adopt high tech antiwear materials, which prolong the service life of drum type rotary granulator.Toothed-rims and gears The gears are attached to the toothed-rims, and the big toothed-rims are fixed around the big tube. They make tube to rotate and work for a long time. Therefore, the whole design is so steady to make granulation process smoothly.

The liner is made of rubber, which makes the materials not easy to stick. And it also have functions on antirot and insulation.Moreover, the cylinder employs special rubber liner and acid-resistant stainless steel liner, which realizes the automatic smashing, the removing of tumor. Furthermore, it eliminates the traditional scraper device.

Besides, to transport conveniently, there are 4 hooks on the carrier roller mounting bracket. This rotary granulator design also provides convenience for loading and unloading.

What is The Working Principle of Rotary Drum Granulating Machine?

The main electric motor drives that strap and driving pulley. Under the function of reducer, driving shaft rotates. Then the teeth of open gear being installed on the driving shaft,engage with those of big gear on the drum body. Materials are added into the rotary drum through raw materials feed (the slope of the feed system should higher than the angle of repose of materials). Due to drum body with an angle of incline of 2-2.5, under the influence of gravity and liner friction, raw materials keep doing circular motion and axis movement. During the rotation, raw materials are made into fertilizer granules by the special inner structure of rotary drum.

This rotating pelletizer granulates pellets by centrifugal force. It rotates the cylinder. Then the powders will get together and become pellets.

The belt and pulley are driven by the main motor. Then the materials will get into the drive shaft through the reducer. The open gear which is installed on the drive shaft works together with the large gear ring. The gear ring is fixed on the body.With the special structure inside the cylinder, the raw materials can be particles and out through the outlet.

Rotary drum granulator adopts the wet granulation method. With a certain amount of water or steam, there will be chemical reactions in the cylinder. The rotating of cylinder will make the materials squeeze. And then materials will become pellets under a certain liquid condition.

What Is The Fertilizer Drum Granulation Production Process?

Utilizing the drum rotating equipment for granulating, do you know the granulation process? Here we can show you the detailed granulation process for making fertilizer granules when you use drum granulator as granulation machine.Granulation process takes granulation machine as the main equipment and can be divided into three production phases.

  • Before the granulation, you should make sure your materials are powdery. It is necessary for you to use powdery fertilizer as materials for drum granulation. If your materials are not fine for granulating, you had better apply a fertilizer crusher for making fine powdery fertilizer materials.
  • When you feed fertilizer powders into the granulation equipment, the cylinder will be rotating and rotate the powders to granules. The pelleted fertilizers will be out when it becomes granules. Meanwhile, if you need, it is also applicable for you to add some vapour for pelletizing better.
  • After the granulation, you should dry the granulated fertilizers to make it more convenient for transporting and storing. There are drying and cooling machine for you to process them more efficiently.Besides, ShunXin also provides you some other auxiliary machine for you. It is alternative for you to configure different machines according to your own requirements. Moreover, it is available to customize for you. And we can also design for you.

 

How Can Use Materials to Make The Granulator Perform Better?

In addition to using steam to maintain the temperature and humidity inside the cylinder during granulation, some techniques can also be used in the selection of raw materials to achieve the required temperature and humidity requirements during production. For example: gas ammonia, phosphoric acid or nitrogen solution, phosphorus ammonia slurry, heavy calcium slurry, when they react with each other, will release water and heat, so that the material can keep uniform and humidity in the drum. This method not only does not need to add additional water and steam and hot air pipes, but also is green and environmentally friendly, and maximizes the value of raw materials.

Preparations Before The Rotary Granulator Working

The rotary drum granulator should be installed on a horizontal concrete foundation and fixed with anchor bolts. And the motor body should be vertical to the level.Check the bolts to make sure they are not loose. Check if the main unit door is tight after installation. Configure the power cord and control switch according to the wattage of the device. After completing the inspection, perform a no-load test. Here are the steps for the no-load test:

  • The drum rotates for 8 hours. Elevated bearing temperatures indicate that the machine is working properly. If the machine is stopped, the temperature should not exceed 50°
  • Pay attention to the noise of the gear and make sure it is normal.

You can refer to our manual or installation video for no-load test. After the test is successful, you can start your fertilizer production with the drum granulator.

How to Maintain The Rotary Drum Granulator to Work Better?

It is best to use high-quality lubricating oil for bearings, because it plays an important role in the operation of the machine. If there is serious friction when the machine rotates far, it will affect the service life of the drum granulator. Based on our many years of experience, you should use lubricants on the following components: rotary bearings, rolling shafts, large gears, drive bearings.

In addition, the staff should check the slats frequently, as it can easily loosen.When the drum granulator is working, pay attention to ensure that all parts of the machine are working properly. If it is found that the bearing oil temperature rises, it must be stopped in time. Then check and remove it, including the gear. Oil these parts frequently to ensure the machine works better.

  • Apply dry butter to the gears before running the machine.
  • Dry the butter on the surface of the rolling belt every 7 days.
  • Add gear oil before the reducer works.
  • Change gear oil every 4 months.
