    Size enlargement is a process that brings small particles together to form larger particles or agglomerates. There are two main types of size enlargement processes: granulation and compaction. Granulation processes like tumbling granulation, mixer granulation, and fluidized bed granulation use mechanical forces to agglomerate particles. Compaction processes like piston pressing, roll pressing, and pelletizing apply pressure to consolidate powder or paste into densified agglomerates of controlled size and shape. Size enlargement is used to improve properties like flow, handling, and bulk density for various industrial applications.

    Size Enlargement

    Equipment
    By: ANGELES, Katrina
    ZARRAGA, Christina
    Size Enlargement
    Process where small particles are brought together to
    form lumps of a desired size

    Original particles can still be distinguished

    To improve handling properties

    To reduce caking and lump formation

    To improve flow properties

    To increase bulk density for storage and tableting feeds

    To control solubility, porosity, surface-to-volume ratio


    Size Enlargement
    GRANULATION
    Size Enlargement
    Tumbling Granulators
    Particles are set in motion by the tumbling action
    caused by gravity and centrifugal forces

    Continuous feed

    Generally produce 1-20 mm granules, not suitable for


    making granules less than 250μm

    Can run at large scale

    Disc granulators, drum granulators


    Disc
    Granulator
    o also: pelletizer (iron ore
    industry), pan granulator
    agricultural chemical
    industry)
    o Made of a rotating tilted
    disc or pan with a rim
    Disc Granulator
    Disc Granulator
    Disc Granulator
    Size classification/segregation:
    Small granules, ungranulated feed are thrown high on
    the disc by centripetal forces
    Large granules remain in the eye and exit as product
    Drum Granulator
    Used for large-scale
    productions

    Common in
    metallurgical, fertilizer
    industries

    No output size
    classification  high
    recycle rates of off-size
    product
    Drum Granulator
    Drum Granulator
    Drum Granulator
    Tumbling Granulators
    Mixer Granulators
    Low-Speed Mixers
    Low-Speed Mixers
    Low-Speed Mixers
    Low-Speed Mixers
    Continuous Shaft Mixers
    Consist of blades/pins rotating at high speed on a
    central shaft

    Operate at high speeds of 200-3500 rpm

    Produces granules of 0.5-1.5 mm

    Granulated product is generally fine, irregular, with


    low bulk density

    Applications: detergents, agricultural chemicals,


    clays, ceramics, foodstuffs, carbon black
    Continuous Shaft Mixers
    Batch High-Speed Mixers
    Plow-shaped mixers rotate on a horizontal shaft at 60-
    800 rpm

    Most have an off-center high-speed cutter/chopper


    rotating at 500-3500 rpm  breaks down overwetting
    powder mass and limits the maximum granule size

    Granulation times range from 5-10 min


    Batch High-Speed Mixers
    Lodige horizontal plough Gral designs
    shear design
    Batch High-Speed Mixers
    Fielder designs Diosna designs
    Batch High-Speed Mixers
    Eirich mixer granulator
    Both chopper and
    impeller blades rotate
    on eccentrically
    mounted vertical
    shafts, cylindrical
    bowl also rotates
    Hybrid of mixer and
    tumbling granulation
    More spherical
    granules are produced
    than those in other
    batch mixer processes
    Batch High-Speed Mixers
    Fluidized Bed Granulator
    Particles are set in motion by air rather than
    mechanical agitation

    Produces high-porosity granules and high-strength,


    layered granules
    Fluidized Bed Granulator
    Batch Fluid-Bed Granulator
    Batch Fluid-Bed Granulator
    Continuous Fluid-Bed
    Granulator
    Spouted-Bed Granulator
    Spouted-Bed Granulator
    Centrifugal Granulators
    Centrifugal Granulators
    Centrifugal Granulators
    COMPACTION
    Size Enlargement
    Piston & Molding Press
    Used to create uniform
    and intricate compacts

    Consists of a
    mechanical/hydraulic
    press

    Due to pressure and heat,


    the particulate charge
    causes it to flow and take
    the shape of the mold
    Tableting Press
    Used for applications
    with strict specifications
    for weight, thickness,
    hardness, density,
    appearance of
    agglomerate

    Produces simpler shapes


    at higher production rates
    than molding presses
    Roll Press
    Compresses raw material as
    it is carried into the gap
    between two rolls rotating
    at equal speeds

    Size and shape of


    agglomerates are
    determined by the geometry
    of the roll surfaces

    Can produce large


    quantities of materials at
    low cost

    Product is less uniform


    Pellet Mills
    Moist plastic feed is
    pushed through the holes
    in dies of various shapes

    Friction of material in the


    die holes provides the
    resistance needed for
    compaction

    Adjustable knives shear


    the product into pellets of
    desired length
    Screw and Other Paste
    Extruders
    Uses a screw to force
    material in a plastic state
    continuously through a
    die

    Shape of the die hole


    determines the shape of
    the compact
    Round hole: rod-shaped
    Thin slit: film/sheet
