    - As with blenders, granulators and coating pans, proper batch size is important for reproducible results.
    - With this unit, the proper batch size is determined using the initial weight (volume) and final weight (volume).
  • Product Characteristics
  • Coating material preparation and holding practices
  • Total amount of liquid
  • CFM Air velocity
    - Type of fluidization
  • Air temperature
  • Spray rate
  • Gun type used: Relative position of the tip
  • Atomizing pressure
  • Disc type
  • Disc height
    - Expressed in mm.
    - Also called "Slit Height".
    - Allows process air into the rotary granulator.
    - Height of the disc will change as the pellets get bigger.
    - Some machines do not have this feature.
  • Disc speed
    - Unit of measure is rpm.
    - Usually constant.
    - With large weight gains the speed may increase as the pellets increase in size.
  • Pellet Curing
