Disc Granulator

In pelletizing operations, inconsistent green pellet size, fluctuating yield, and unplanned downtime directly impact efficiency and cost. Selecting the right disc granulator (pan granulator) for the pelletizing circuit is a critical process decision.

    Description

    Shanghai YingYong Machinery engineers disc pelletizers and pelletizing discs to deliver measurable, real-world performance. By combining robust mechanical design with intelligent control systems, our solutions consistently increase qualified pellet yield by up to 5% while reducing unplanned downtime by as much as 75%. As a result, operators achieve more predictable output, higher process stability, and lower overall operating costs.

    Key Benefits of Disc Granulator

    Where Robust Engineering Meets Operational Value

    Intelligent Pelletizing System with Controlled Quality
    The new disc pelletizer model incorporates an intelligent pelletizing system equipped with machine vision technology. It enables real-time monitoring and remote adjustment of green pellet size with a precision of ±0.1 mm, complemented by automatic oversize pellet removal. This ensures consistent pellet quality from the very beginning.
    Outstanding Performance, High Yield and Stability
    At its core, the pelletizer features a large-scale slewing ring structure and enclosed internal gear transmission, delivering exceptionally smooth operation. A typical 7.5-meter disc model achieves a reliable production capacity of 120–160 tons per hour, meeting your high-output demands.
    Robust and Durable, Extended Service Life
    The pelletizer disc is lined with high-molecular wear-resistant plates, offering exceptional resistance to abrasion. Efficient rotating scrapers prevent material buildup, while two centralized grease lubrication systems ensure the health of transmission components. This extends equipment lifespan and reduces maintenance intervention.
    Flexible Adaptation, Comprehensive Service
    Both disc inclination (30°-55°) and rotation speed (6–9 rpm) can be steplessly adjusted to easily adapt to different material characteristics. We also provide full lifecycle support—from installation and commissioning to intelligent upgrades—ensuring your investment continues to deliver value.

    How It Works

    Pellet growth occurs on the rotating, inclined disc (balling disc) where gravity, centrifugal force, and friction interact. Fine feed material, when mixed with controlled moisture, forms initial seed pellets. As the disc rotates, continuous rolling and layering gradually incorporate additional fines, allowing the pellets to grow in size and strength. As the pellets reach the target granule size, they discharge automatically along a controlled trajectory. Meanwhile, the intelligent control system continuously monitors key process parameters and optimizes disc angle, rotation speed, and feed conditions in real time, ensuring consistent pellet quality and maximum process efficiency.

    We offer a complete range of disc pelletizers, from laboratory research to full-scale industrial production.

    • For industrial applications, Yingyong offers heavy-duty pelletizing discs with diameters of up to 7.5 meters. These units are designed for continuous, high-duty operation, featuring a robust structural design and delivering exceptional production capacity.
    • For laboratory and pilot-scale applications, compact models—such as units with a 1000 mm disc diameter—provide an ideal platform for process development, material testing, operator training, and small-batch trial production.
