To determine the ideal pelletizing equipment for your specific application, it’s advisable to test a material in sample quantities, such as 5- or 10-gallon discs or drums, or 15- to 25-gallon pin mixers. After making the batch, we can help you analyze the results. If the tests are favorable, you can begin pilot scale development using 55-gallon drums.
Binders usually consist of water and two additives. Your sample yield will give you jars of green or dried pellets, depending upon the type of material you’re pelletizing. Pellets that contain binder or slurry can also be produced in larger quantity samples, such as two gallons.
As for special conditions, there are none in the research phase. In the pilot phase, however, milling, pre-treatment, mixing, special feeding, drying, screening and post-treatment in the pilot phase could be considerations. Regardless of what the research and pilot phases reveal, we have the expertise to help you determine whether to move forward, and to assist you with taking the next step.
