GEA GRANULATION SUITE, MODEL PMA + SIROCCO 1200

Year of construction: 2008

Mixing/drying system, comprising three machines. Versatile, with modular options for mixing, high shear granulation and melt or wet pelletizing.

Consisting of

(1) GEA Niro Aeromatic Fielder high shear mixer, model PMA 1200

PRODUCTION FEATURES

For high shear pelletizing, a special mixing tool is available to optimize the process and maximize the yield
Melt pelletizing: exceptionally fast method of producing pellets in a single step. The active material and binder are mixed in the form of binder and then heated until the binder melts. A single batch is typically processed in just 15-20 minutes, and requires no further drying
Wet pelletizing: This process uses a rotary atomizer to achieve excellent dispersion of the binder liquid in the mix, and a special high-speed rotation blade for maximum product movement, for more efficient pelletizing. The PTFE container lining minimizes the need for "top and tailing", even with the most cohesive products. Studies have shown that GEA's unique PTFE lining can increase production efficiency by up to 40%. Alternatively, an extruder, similar to those used for pellet production, can be used. In a typical setup, all ingredients are pre-mixed in a container after dosing. Depending on the extruder design, the liquid can be added to the extruder or mixed separately until the correct consistency is achieved. The material produced by the extruder is transferred directly into a continuous fluid bed where it is dried to the desired moisture level
