Background
In the wet granulation equipment, the granulation principle of a high-speed mixing granulator is as follows: the two procedures of mixing and granulating are completed in the same container, downward rotation type stirring is adopted, and a stirring paddle is arranged at the bottom of the pan and forms a gap with the bottom of the pan. The stirring blade surface can ensure that the materials are collided and dispersed into a semi-flowing rolling state and achieve full mixing. With the injection of the binder, the powder is gradually moistened, and the shape of the material is changed. The rotation of the chopping knife on the horizontal shaft of the pot wall and the stirring paddle generates vortex, so that the materials are fully mixed, rolled and collided, and the chopping knife in the area where the materials are required to be turned can fully crush the bulk materials into particles. Meanwhile, the materials are extruded, collided, rubbed, sheared and kneaded among particles in three-dimensional motion, so that the particles are rubbed more uniformly and finely, and finally stable spherical particles are formed, thereby forming a damp and uniform soft material.
The mode that present wet granulation adopted regularly pelletizes, set for the pelletization time promptly, open the exit baffle again after the pelletization is accomplished and carry out all materials, consequently can cause partly first fashioned material because can't carry out and constantly be cut, lead to the granule less or directly smash, then fashioned granule volume is then great, consequently can cause the granule size inhomogeneous.
In addition, after the wet granulator is added with the adhesive, the viscous materials are easily adhered to the inner wall of the charging barrel, and the viscosity of the materials and the charging barrel is increased due to the temperature rise because the materials generate heat due to friction in the granulating process, so that the difficulty in cleaning the charging barrel is increased.
