Pelletizing Process Overview
Pelletizing agglomerates fine particulates like dust, powder, or fume into pellets using moisture and, if needed, a binder. In a rotating drum or disc, fines bond and grow into pellets. The pelletizer’s angle, speed, and water sprays control pellet size, often eliminating the need for screening, with an optional conditioning step, if required.
Transforming Carbon for Tomorrow's Innovations
Since 1972, we’ve specialized in transforming industrial byproducts into high-quality pellets that can be reintroduced into production or marketed to create new revenue streams. We support companies worldwide, focusing on pelletizing carbon-rich materials like carbon black, recovered carbon black (rCB), biochar, graphene, and activated carbon. Our pelletizers produce durable, precise pellets for applications like EV battery anodes, green tires, graphene films, and PFAS remediation filter media.
Our Commitment: Sustainable Pelletizing Solutions
With our pelletizing equipment and expertise, we help industries reduce their environmental footprint, maximize material reuse, and contribute to the development of sustainable products.
Our Values
At Mars Mineral, our core values—Respect, Integrity, Growth, Humility, and Trust—guide everything we do.
