Differences between Physical Granulation and Other Granulation Processes Using Double Roller Press Granulators
The granulation process of double roller press granualtors is a dry physical granulation method. The core difference between this and wet agglomeration granulation methods such as disc and drum granulation lies in their granulation processes: one relies on "high-pressure extrusion," while the other relies on "water-based ball rolling." 1. Different Principles and Processes Roller extrusion uses two high-pressure rollers to directly press dry powder materials into flakes, which are then crushed and screened. The entire process requires no water addition or drying, resulting in a shorter process and smaller footprint. Wet granulation, on the other hand, requires the addition of steam or binders to the material, which then agglomerates into balls under rotation. This necessitates the installation of drying and cooling equipment, leading to a longer process and higher investment. 2. Significant Differences in Energy Consumption and Cost Roller extrusion is a cold pro...
