Details are as follows to the process of the utility model granulation below in conjunction with the utility model Granulation Equipments shown in Figure 1:

Powder as raw material is reinforced at any time in granulation chamber 8 by a controllable continuous feeding 18, the powder that adds in the granulation chamber 8 is fluidization by the hot blast drive that is provided by hot-air system from bottom to top of ventilative ventilating board 32, when the powder in joining granulation chamber 8 reaches a certain amount of, the nozzle 5 of granulation chamber 8 tops begins to spray the binding agent of atomizing, make granulation chamber's 8 interior fluidised powders evenly be subjected to liquid, the poly-group of bonding forms a particulate to be subjected to powder surface tension behind the liquid to increase mutually, material constantly accepts to spray take liquid-containing binder, small particle is constantly grown up, length reaches constant weight to the particle that requires granularity, when it arrives the utility model key structure, when being the top of trunnion 9 since its gravity greater than hot blast to its active force that makes progress, sink to entering blanking chamber 10, the particle that enters blanking chamber 10 at the uniform velocity moves down under the effect of vibrating motor formation vibration force, under the hot blast effect, dehydrate, the bottom of hothouse 10 is connected with dry classification chamber 13, particle here limit continues dry, the limit classification, crossing coarse granule enters thick material returning device 16 and returns granulation chamber 8 through fragmentation, qualified particle enters removal device 17 and regularly is discharged to the appointed place, and fine grained enters thin material returning device 15 and returns granulation chamber 8 excessively; Continuous feeding 18 constantly replenishes powder material in granulation chamber 8, granulation, drying, qualified particle are discharged continuously carry out, and has realized the continuous of prilling.The hot-air system that hot blast in the utility model equipment is made up of heat exchanger 11 and air-introduced machine 3 provides, and its stroke valve 1 can be controlled total blast volume at any time, air-valve 2 12 control finished product grain graininess sizes, and air-valve three is used for fast cooling.Hot blast is handled the dustless waste gas of discharge through purifier before discharge, the fine powder of holding back enters granulation chamber through pulse valve 1 effect and continues granulation.This device is formed spray system by binding agent flow container 7, peristaltic pump 6, nozzle 5, and the size of the controllable rotation speed system spouting liquid by adjusting peristaltic pump 6 can be controlled the size of hydrojet mist pearl by adjustment nozzle admission pressure.

The utility model Granulation Equipments and prilling process have fundamentally been broken through existing dry method granulation processes flow process, and the non-slurry pelletizing serialization is achieved, and have also solved in the vertical gravitational method continuous granulator simultaneously, and it is excessive to take up room; Because of vertical design makes length of throat limited so that the too short drying effect that influences in dry path is wasted energy simultaneously; Because of vertical design makes hierarchical paths limited so that classification efficiency is not high, influence the precision of particle.This breakthrough brings a series of positive effects, and is mainly as follows:

(1) energy-saving effect is obvious: because the breakthrough on the prilling reduces energy consumption greatly.Table 1 has been listed the relevant data of several Granulation Equipments energy consumptions:

Table 1

Device type	One step comminutor	Vertical comminutor	The utility model equipment
				Model	PGL-20	LZL-30	LZLW-30
Production capacity kg/h	15～25	25～35	30～40
				General power kw	41	15	15
Unit energy consumption kw/kg	2.05	0.5	0.4
				Can loss-rate	5.125	1.25	1

As can be seen from the above table, the energy-saving effect of the utility model equipment is obvious especially, and this point also can get across theoretically.With a step comminutor is example; it is high especially that its production technology forces granulation chamber to include material concentration; in granulation process, spouting liquid is restricted, and being subjected to the liquid material is few part; they may just have an opportunity to be subjected to once more liquid after reuniting for a long time; their through colliding the fragmentation that has mutually, treat to be subjected to next time just to understand at inferior growth, granulating so repeatedly behind the liquid under fluidized state before being subjected to liquid next time; broken repeatedly, so need just to make all materials all reach granularity requirements for a long time.In dry run, there is a large amount of particles to collide fragmentation mutually again and diminishes, this shows that a step comminutor most of energy in granulation process is flogging a dead horse.And the utility model equipment granulation chamber include the material concentration very low, as long as spray film can penetrator not expect that reaching ventilating board just can, so the fluidisation landscape is very little, material be subjected to also big many of liquid chance, it is fast many that the speed of granulating is wanted, and the particle that reaches granularity requirements enters hothouse very soon and carries out drying, and dry gas stream is dried particles not only, and arrives granulation chamber and continue work done.In addition, the facilitated fluidization of material in the utility model equipment also plays the effect of saving energy consumption.And the power consumption of mist projection granulating big be because its energy of 90% all be used for the dehydration, dried material.

(2) production efficiency obviously improves: because the energy consumption of inaction reduces greatly, so production efficiency improves greatly, and the utility model equipment has a cover grading plant to make the particle of discharge qualified fully, need not to do once more shaping and handles.

(3) volume obviously reduces: because production efficiency improves greatly; so equipment volume reduces greatly; compare with a step comminutor, the equipment volume of its PGL-20 model is φ 1200 * 3150, and the equipment volume of the utility model equipment LZL-30 model is φ 580 * 2750.Therefore, the utility model equipment can provide large-tonnage non-slurry pelletizing equipment, and it is big to resemble the such output of ceramic tile, if the equipment that the big product of power consumption provides with the utility model equipment goes production, will bring great economic benefit.

(4) the particle quality obviously improves: by analyzing as can be known in (1), one step comminutor material granulating repeatedly in granulation process, broken repeatedly, the particle that has needs through so many times process, and the particle that has only passes through for several times such process, thereby the composition that the former contains in the slurries is many, and the latter is then few; The former is harder, and the latter is pine.Can draw thus, particulate component, difference in hardness that a step comminutor is produced are very big.And the utility model equipment material granulating process basically identical in granulation process, thereby also basically identical of particulate component, also obtained confirmation by experiment.

(5) environmental pollution obviously reduces: the utility model equipment is totally-enclosed operation in granulation process, does not have dust from flying.Charging, discharge process be also without operating personnel contact, so reduced environmental pollution greatly and to the pollution of material.

(6) can be the user and bring obvious economic benefit:

1. since equipment volume little, pollute little, so capital expenditure can significantly reduce;

2. because energy consumption is low, so the equipment operating cost can reduce greatly, product cost also can significantly reduce.

(7) mode of horizontal dry classification makes particle enter the classification that will begin in a minute after the dryer section, can bring following positive effect:

The grading effect of particle is obviously improved, qualified particle can be controlled in the accurate more scope;

Qualified particle drying efficient is improved, thereby saved energy consumption;

3., owing to solved the disadvantage that vertical dry place be difficult to strengthen, thereby drying efficiency is improved greatly, this point has great benefit to large-tonnage production equipment, can produce the continuous granulator of output more than 2 tons/hour.

In sum, adopt horizontal continuous granulating apparatus of using gravity method of the present utility model and prilling process, can carry out granulation continuously and directly distinguish good qualified particle and export, underproof thick excessively, cross fine grained and get back to by material returning device and improve drying effect on the basis of the circulation that enters granulation in the granulation chamber of equipment more significantly and compare with the granulation precision, with vertical gravitational method continuous granulator and showing more superior energy-saving effect aspect raising drying efficiency and the classification efficiency.Especially the size and the yield rate of the particle that will make can be better controlled in the lengthening setting of trunnion and being horizontally disposed with of dry classification chamber, and be more suitable for large-scale promotion.
