Spheronizer

TECHNICAL OFFER

 

The machine consists of a round disc with a vertical shaft spining at high speed at the bottom of cylinderical chamber. The cylinderical drum is called bowl and the spining disc is called a friction plate. The friction plate has a groove pattern to increase the friction with the product. When the extrudes are charged into the spherodizer, they  ate thrown to the end of spining plate by centrifugal forces. By the contact with the plate, the extrudes are cut into short cylinderical segments which are gradually rounded by the collisions with the drum wall and the plate probabilities of fines generated during the process is there, these fines will adhere on the surface of the spheres again  they can get under the friction plate, through the gap between the plate and the wall. The fines generated  under the friction plate will be discharged from the machine by means of a propeller after a certain retention time, the particles have obtained the desired spherical shape, then the discharge is via centrifugal force.
