  The granulation apparatus is provided with a growth area 12 on the bottom side and a formation area 13 on the opening side, which are arranged with an inclination with respect to the vertical direction and are partitioned by an annular partition wall 11 protruding from the inner peripheral surface. A rotatable granulation dish 10, a raw material supply nozzle 20 for supplying alumina powder as a granulation raw material into the growth area 12 of the granulation dish 10, and an additive liquid (for example, water) in the growth area 12 and the formation area 13, respectively. ) And the second liquid supply means 31 and 32 (hereinafter referred to as the first and second spray nozzles 31 and 32), the formation region 13 and the growth region 12, and are arranged in a predetermined manner. A cylinder which is a classifying means for sorting out the formed particles having a particle size of 5 mm and other particle sizes, taking out the formed particles into the forming region 13, and returning the granulated material having a particle size equal to or smaller than the formed particle size to the growing region 12. Grown granulated product A, which is arranged in the sieve 40 and the granulating dish 10 and generated in the growth zone 12 Is mainly composed of a granulated substance conveying means 50 for supplying a tubular sieve 40 is removed from the 12.

  The granulation dish 10 is formed in a frustoconical shape and is rotatably provided by a motor 7. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, a rotation transmission unit 3 capable of changing the rotation direction is placed on the gantry 1 via the mounting member 2, and on the output side of the rotation transmission unit 3, A rotating shaft 14 protruding from the bottom of the granulating dish 10 is connected. Further, a driven pulley 4 is mounted on the input side of the rotation transmitting unit 3, and a transmission belt 6 is hung on the driven pulley 4 and a driving pulley 5 mounted on a driving shaft 7a of a motor 7 mounted on a gantry. The rotation direction is changed by the rotation transmission unit 3 and the drive from the motor 7 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 14 and the granulating dish 10.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the raw material supply nozzle 20 is connected to a raw material storage tank 21 via a supply line 22 having an open / close valve V1.

  The first and second spray nozzles 31 and 32 spray the additive liquid toward the granulated product A in the growth region 12 or the granulated product A in the formation region 13 with air, which is a gas for pumping, for example. It is formed by a two-fluid nozzle. In this case, the first and second spray nozzles 31 and 32 have an additive liquid supply path 35 in communication with an air supply path 34 that communicates with the nozzle hole 33, as shown in FIG. An air supply source 37 is connected to the supply path 34 via an air supply line 36 having an opening / closing valve V2, and added to an additive liquid supply path 35 via an additive liquid supply line 38 having an opening / closing valve V3. A liquid supply source 39 is connected.

  According to the 1st spray nozzle 31 comprised as mentioned above, by supplying an additive liquid to the alumina powder which is the granulation raw material supplied in the growth area | region 12 of the rotating granulation dish 10, by spraying. The granulated product A can be produced by bonding alumina powders together. Further, according to the second spray nozzle 32, the additive liquid can be supplied to the granulated product A in the formation region 13 in a spray form, whereby reinforcement by the adhering liquid component on the granulated product A can be performed.

  In the above description, the case where the first and second spray nozzles 31 and 32 are formed by two-fluid nozzles has been described. However, the first and second spray nozzles 31 and 32 are not necessarily two-fluid nozzles. There is no need, and a single fluid nozzle may be used. Further, instead of the spray nozzles 31 and 32, liquid supply means for supplying the additive liquid may be used.

  The cylindrical sieve 40 has a cylindrical sieve body in which the growth region portion has a large number of selection holes 42 having a diameter slightly smaller than the formation particle size, and the formation region portion has a large number of formation holes 43 having the same diameter as the formation particle size. The granulated product (coarse particles) having a predetermined particle size or more classified by the cylindrical sieve 40 can be discharged to the outside through the cylindrical sieve 40. Further, the cylindrical sieve 40 is disposed in a downward gradient in the axial direction of the cylindrical sieve 40 and is formed to be rotatable about the axis. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, an annular member 44 is attached to the outer side end portion of the sieve body 41, and a plurality of connecting members 45 protruding at appropriate intervals in the circumferential direction of the annular member 44 are provided. The circular plates 46 are connected to each other, and a granulated material (coarse particles) having a predetermined particle diameter or more is discharged from the opening 47 formed between the connecting members 45 to the outside. In addition, a sieving rotary shaft 48 projects from the center of the disc 46, and is installed on a driven pulley 8a attached to the sieving rotary shaft 48 and a fixed part (not shown) in the apparatus. A transmission belt 9 is stretched around a drive pulley 8b mounted on a drive shaft 7b of the cylindrical sieve rotating motor 7A.

  The cylindrical sieve 40 is configured to be rotated in the same direction as the rotation direction of the granulating dish 10. Thus, by making the rotation direction of the cylindrical sieve 40 the same direction as the rotation direction of the granulating dish 10, it is classified (sorted) with the rotation of the cylindrical sieve 40 and falls into the formation zone 13. Since the granulated product A (formed granule) falls with the rotation of the cylindrical sieve 40, it is possible to suppress the collision with the granulated product in the formation region of the granulating dish 10 rotating in the same direction. It is possible to prevent scattering to the outside.

  On the other hand, the granulated material conveying means 50 is attached to the annular partition wall 11 of the granulating plate 10 and scoops up the granulated material A generated in the growth region with the rotation of the granulating plate 10 to obtain a cylindrical sieve. 40 is mainly composed of a conveying member 51 that drops to the growth region side 40 and a guide chute 52 that receives the granulated material A dropped from the conveying member 51 and guides it into the cylindrical sieve 40.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the conveying member 51 includes substantially rectangular side pieces 53 and 54 that face each other, and a substantially rectangular inclined connecting piece 55 that connects one ends of both side pieces 53 and 54. It is formed by a substantially U-shaped piece member. In this case, one side piece 53 of the side pieces 53, 54 is formed longer than the other side piece 54, and is bonded to the growth region side surface of the annular partition wall 11 by an adhesive means such as a magnet or a double-sided adhesive tape. Has been. Further, a bent piece 56 is formed at the tip of the other side piece 54 so as to be bent at a substantially right angle toward the side piece 53 side. A plurality of, for example, three conveying members 51 are attached to the annular partition wall 11 at an appropriate interval.

  The conveying member 51 configured as described above has a side piece 53 bonded so as to open in the rotation direction of the granulation dish 10, and the granulation generated in the growth region 12 as the granulation dish 10 rotates. The product A is sowed and the granulated product A that has been scooped up can be dropped from the upper part to the growth region side of the cylindrical sieve 40. In this case, the material of the conveying member 51 may be arbitrary, but it is necessary to select a material that is not affected by the granulating material or the additive liquid. For example, when spraying an acidic liquid, it is necessary to use a material having acid resistance.

  The guide chute 52 has a hopper 57 that expands upward, a hanging duct 58 that communicates with the lower end of the hopper 57, and a bent opening that communicates with the lower end of the hanging duct 58 in a bent shape. It is comprised with the supply duct 59 inserted and arrange | positioned in a part.

  As described above, the granulated product A is transported by the conveying member 51 and the guide chute 52 to convey the granulated product A granulated in the growth region 12 as the granulating dish 10 rotates. The granulated material A picked up by the member 51 and moved upward, and the conveying member 51 turned upside down at the upper position and dropped is dropped into the hopper 57 of the guide chute 52, and is passed through the hanging duct 58 and the supply duct 59. It can be reliably supplied into the cylindrical sieve 40.

  Next, the procedure of the granulation method according to the present invention will be described. First, the open / close valve V1 is opened and the granulated raw material stored in the raw material storage tank 21 is supplied into the growth region 12 of the granulating dish 10 rotating through the raw material supply nozzle 20. The granulation raw material supplied into the growth zone 12 is lifted by the centrifugal force accompanying the rotation of the granulation dish 10, granulated by dropping downward by its own weight, and supplied from the first spray nozzle 31. It grows into a granulated product A having a predetermined particle size by adhering to each other with the additive solution. At this time, since the granulation dish 10 is formed in a frustoconical shape, the granulation raw material can smoothly move to the annular partition wall 11 side by the centrifugal force accompanying the rotation of the granulation dish 10.

  The granulated product A grown to a predetermined particle size in the growth zone 12 is scooped up by a conveying member 51 that rotates with the rotation of the granulating dish 10 and then guided from an upper position in the granulating dish 10. 52 falls into the hopper 57 of 52 and is supplied into the cylindrical sieve 40 through the hanging duct 58 and the supply duct 59.

  At this time, since the cylindrical sieve 40 is inclined downward and rotating outward, the granulated product A supplied into the cylindrical sieve 40 is cylindrical while being dispersed in the circumferential direction. The sieve 40 moves in a substantially spiral shape from one end on the inner side to the other end on the outer side. In this movement process, first, the granulated product A having a diameter smaller than the formed particle size passes through the sorting hole 42. After returning to the growth area 12, the granulated product A having the same diameter as the formation particle diameter passes through the formation holes 43 and is taken out into the formation area 13. Since the additive liquid is supplied from the second spray nozzle 32 to the granulated product A taken out into the formation zone 13, the granulated product A is reinforced by the adhering liquid. The granulated product A (coarse particles) having a particle size larger than the formed particle size passes through the cylindrical sieve 40 and is discharged to the outside through the opening 47 at the outer end of the cylindrical sieve 40.

  By continuously rotating the granulation dish 10 and the cylindrical sieve 40, the above steps are performed continuously, so that the granulated product having a predetermined particle size or less returned into the growth region 12 is grown again. Then, it is scooped by the conveying member 51 and supplied into the cylindrical sieve 40 through the guide chute 52 in the same manner as described above, and is classified (selected) by the cylindrical sieve 40. Thereafter, similarly, a granulated product having a predetermined particle size or less is circulated to produce a granulated product A (formed particle) having a predetermined particle size. The granulated product A (formed granule) taken out into the forming area 13 is accommodated in the formed granule storage tank 70 and is carried out from the granulating apparatus.

  The granulated product (coarse particles) having a predetermined particle diameter or more discharged from the cylindrical sieve 40 to the outside is stored in the coarse particle storage tank 71 and pulverized again by the crushing device, and then the raw material. It is accommodated in the storage tank 21 and granulated again by a granulating device.

  In addition, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where the granulation apparatus (method) based on this invention was applied to granulation of alumina, it is applicable also to granulation of granules other than alumina.
