The Mars Mineral Disc Pelletizer is an adjustable, rotating pan device that can be used as a standalone pelletizer to create spherical pellets from a wide variety of inorganic and organic powders, such as limestone, fertilizers, metal ores, glass precursors, coal fines, biochar, and organic manures and soil conditioners. It is often used as a second stage pelletizer in combination with a pin mixer to create larger, spherical pellets from the smaller, round micropellets and conditioned powder discharged from the pin mixer.

The Mars Mineral Disc Pelletizer consists of a pan, rocker deck, plow support with plows, binder spray system and dust cover which are supported on a heavy structural frame and base.
The pan is driven by a heavy-duty gear reducer that is mounted directly on the output shaft.
The disc pelletizer unit is a front feeding device. Various feeders are may be used in conjunction with it to accommodate a range of powdered materials and feed rate accuracies. Selection may be made from volumetric screw feeders, belt or table feeders and gravimetric weigh belt feeders.
Changes in mean pellet size and pellet size distribution can be made through adjustments to the pan rotational speed and angle of inclination. Changes in pan rotational speed can be made through an optional control panel with a VFD. The pan angle of inclination is adjustable within a range of 20 degrees to suit and optimize various pelletizing conditions and applications.
The Mars Mineral Disc Pelletizer is equipped with a binder spray system which includes piping, tubing, nozzles, pressure gauges, valves, pressure regulator and strainer. For extremely dusty or toxic applications, Mars Mineral will also provide a discharge chute and a dust cover as optional items.
