Granulizing-Drying System
Kason’s Granulizing-Drying System, consisting of a centrifugal screener, a spheroidizer, a circular fluid bed dryer, and a vibratory screener, converts non-flowing moist solids discharged from cartridge and vacuum filters, filter presses, mixers and other equipment into uniform, compact, dry, de-dusted, free-flowing granules ready for storage, shipping, packaging or secondary processing.
A Centri-SifterTM centrifugal screener uses rotating helical paddles to break-up lumps and drive non-flowing materials through apertures in a horizontal screen cylinder, producing moist pellets continuously, at high rates. The unit handles smooth, lumpy, sticky and otherwise difficult-to-handle materials, and is more productive, compact and economical than screw-type extruders.
Moist pellets are discharged into a patented Kason Spheroidizer that utilizes vibratory energy to produce high-strength, uniform, spherical particles. The size, uniformity and density of the finished product are varied by adjusting amplitude and frequency of vibration, and the number and slope of agglomerating cones. Binder powder may be applied prior to entering the unit, or with internal spray nozzles.
