The GUNT Rolling Agglomeration Trainer demonstrates the process of particle size enlargement through granulation and pelletisation. Developed in cooperation with the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Process Engineering at Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, the trainer features an inclined rotating dish granulator where powder and granulating liquid are combined. A fine powder is continuously fed onto the disc while a two-component nozzle sprays atomised liquid, initiating agglomerate formation. The growing, ball-shaped agglomerates roll and discharge from the disc rim into a collection tank, enabling the study of process parameters and agglomerate properties.
Product Features
- Inclined rotating dish granulator for rolling agglomeration studies
- Continuous powder feed (e.g., powdered limestone) onto the rotating disc
- Two-component nozzle sprays atomised granulating liquid (e.g., diluted sugar powder)
- Agglomerate formation initiated by rolling motion of moistened particles
- Fine material remains near the bottom layer, lifted by disc rotation
- Agglomerates grow and roll along the surface until discharged from the rim
- Adjustable disc rotation speed and angle of inclination
- Mass flow rate of powder and liquid flow rate both adjustable
- Agglomerates collected in a separate tank for evaluation
- Additional tanks for feed material and granulating liquid included
- Compatible with lab devices for measuring compressive strength
- Drying chamber recommended for post-processing of agglomerates
Benefits
- Hands-on understanding of agglomeration, granulation, and pelletisation principles
- Visual demonstration of ball formation and growth through rolling motion
- Control over multiple process parameters for comprehensive experimentation
- Supports material science and mechanical process engineering education
- Enables measurement of mechanical strength and physical properties of agglomerates
