What is the purpose of Boiling Granulator?

Boiling granulator is a kind of equipment widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical, food and other industries, which is mainly used to convert powdered substances into solid particles.

The working principle of the boiling granulator is to use the airflow to suspend the powder, make it fluidised (i.e. in the boiling state), and then sprayed into the binder, so that the powder bridges each other and agglomerates under the action of the binder, and gradually coalesces into particles. At the same time, because the temperature of the airflow can be adjusted, mixing, granulation, drying and other operations can be completed in a single device, so the boiling granulator is also known as 'one-step granulator'.

• Pharmaceutical industry:

Preparation of solid pills, tablets, capsules and other dosage forms. The drug particles prepared by boiling granulator have uniform particle size and good fluidity, which helps to improve the bioavailability and absorption rate of the drug.

Coating of drug particles, such as the preparation of slow-release, enteric-clean and other types of drug particles to meet the different needs of medication.

• Chemical Industry:

Preparation of solid particles of powdered substances, such as fertilisers and pigments. The prepared particles have high density and good flowability, which helps to improve the efficiency of storage and transport.

• Food Industry:

Preparation of various granular foodstuffs, such as puffed foodstuffs, granular frozen foodstuffs, cocoa, coffee, milk powder, granular fruit juices, flavourings, etc.. The prepared food particles have smooth appearance and good taste, which helps to improve the quality and market competitiveness of food.

• High production efficiency: the boiling granulator can achieve continuous production and high production efficiency.
• Uniform product particles and controllable particle size: the particle size can be adjusted according to the demand, and the produced particles are uniform and controllable in particle size.
• Small equipment size, small footprint: simple structure, small footprint, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
• Safe operation and high degree of automation: operated in a closed container, no dust flying, improving the operating environment; the use of anti-static filter material, safe operation of the equipment; with the development of science and technology, the boiling granulator is also constantly improved and upgraded, the future will be more intelligent, automated and efficient.

• Improve the fluidity: granular materials have better fluidity than powder materials, which is convenient for storage, transport and processing.
• Prevent segregation: segregation is easy to occur when there is a difference in the particle size and density of each component of the mixture, mixing after granulation or mixing after granulation can effectively prevent segregation.
• Adjustment of stacking density: Adjust the stacking density of granules according to the need to adapt to different application requirements.
• Enhance commodity value: improve the appearance, taste and quality of the products, and increase the market competitiveness of the commodities.

To summarise, boiling granulator is a powerful equipment, which plays an important role in pharmaceutical, chemical, food and other industries.
