Boiling granulator

Introduction to boiling granulator

A boiling granulator is a device used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries to heat and mix granules or powders. It typically consists of a cylindrical chamber with a heating element and agitation mechanisms to ensure even heating and mixing. The granules are heated to a specific temperature and held there for a specified time before being cooled and removed from the chamber. Boiling granulators are used for a variety of processes, including granulation, drying, and coating.

Features of boiling granulator

1. Boiling granulation: The name suggests that the granulation process involves boiling， which helps to create a uniform and wet granule size. This is achieved by adding a liquid binder to the powder and heating it to a boiling point， where the binder evaporates and the powder clumps together.
2. Controlled Granulation: The boiling granulator allows for precise control over the granulation process， including the amount of binder added， the temperature and duration of heating， and the speed of agitation. This helps to ensure that the granules have the desired properties， such as flowability and compressibility.
3. Small Granule Size: The boiling granulator can produce small granules with a diameter range of 0.5-2 mm， which is suitable for various applications such as tableting， capsule filling， and direct compression.
4. High Efficiency: The granulation process in a boiling granulator is relatively fast， with most batches completed within a few minutes. This makes it a highly efficient method for producing granules on a large scale.
5. Simplicity of Operation: The boiling granulator is a relatively simple piece of equipment to operate， with a few controls and settings that can be adjusted to suit different materials and requirements.
