Granulation method used in double roller press granulation
From above introduction, you must have a certain understanding about double roller press granulator. Next let’s learn the method used by it during the process of making granules: Extruding granulation, which also is a kind of dry granulation method.
Extruding granulation process is consist of two parts. First, the dry material will agglomerate and becomes a dense and hard mass (cake) under pressure. This is the extrusion process. Second, the cake is crushed and sieved into granules, this is the granulation process. The function of extrusion is to displace the air between particles and make the distance between particles close enough to generate attractive forces, such as van der Waals forces, adsorption forces, crystal bridges, and inline connections, which can combine the particles together. In this way, you can directly turn dry powder into granules without adding additives and produce granules at the room temperature without drying. So it can provide you with more simple production processes and lower energy consumption.
How does the double roller granulator work in your fertilizer granules production?
It is necessary for you to understand the working principle of double roller granulator, if you want to make use of the roller granulator machine more freely and efficiently. The working principle of double roller granulator is:
Double roller prlletizer working principle
In the process of granulation, electromotor will drive the belt pulley. Then the belt is transmitted to the driving shaft by the speed reducer. So the driving shaft will operate synchronously with the passive shaft. Materials will enter the machine from the hopper. After going through the roll extrusion forming, demoulding, pelletizing, the pellets will pass a chain to the broken screen studio. It is used for sieving and isolating the finished products (the balls). Unqualified particles will be returned to mix with new materials and granulate again.
5 Advantages of double roller extrusion granulator from SX fertilizer machinery
With the development of technology, there are various granulating machines on the market, each has its own advantages to attract customers, why double roller extrusion granulator is an ideal choice for you. There are 5 reasons as follows:
High granulation rate
It can produce particles at the room temperature without drying and form them at one time. Therefore, this compound fertilizer granulating machine can granulate faster and its granulation rate is as high as 90% or more.

How long can double roller pressing granulator work?
Rollers of double roller pressing granulator
How long can double roller pressing granulator work is another touchstone for the quality of a granulator. Double roller pressing granulator is made of high quality boiler steel Q235. It has characteristic of good welding performance and certain alkali corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. In general, the machine can work 8-10 hours per day and provide service for several decades years. But the roller sheet is a wearing part, you need to change it at least every six months. You need to pay attention to regular maintenance. Proper maintenance can prolong its service life.
How to maintain double roller extrusion granulator?
Maintaining your machine in the correct way can prolong its service life. Following methods are our engineers provide for you to maintain your double roller extrusion granulator:
You best start machine without load. It is strictly forbidden to start with material.
Don’t add the material with iron. It will break the axle
Apply lubricating grease to the gears before starting the machine.
Apply lubricating grease to the chain and sprocket every 7 days.
Replace the new lubricating greaseof bearing seat every three months.
Gear oil is necessary before reducer starts working. You need replace the gear oil every four months.
How to adjust double roller extrusion granulator to improve fertilizer quality?
In the granulation process of using the double-roll granulator, sometimes the particles are not spherical or the powder leaks too much. At that time, you can adjust these two parts of the double roller extrusion granulator to improve fertilizer quality.
Gap between the rollers
In the process of fertilizer production, sometimes it is necessary to increase the output or bite angle. At this time, you need to increase the distance between the two compression shafts. Then the distance between the driving shaft and the passive shaft becomes bigger. The steps are as follows:
Stop the machine and remove the frame above the two bearing seats.
Adjust the adjustment plate between the two bearing seats to the required thickness.
The distance between the two rollers cannot make the wheels collide. So you need to keep the minimum between 0.3-1 mm.
Alignment of ball socket
The ball socket is contist of the pits on the surface of the main roller. So if you want to improve fertilizer quality, you must pay attention to axial alignment and circumferential alignment.
Generally speaking, the possibility of adjustment is not large. If you need to adjust it, you can tighten or loosen the glands on both sides of the passive bearing seat, so that the dislocated sleeve can move and correspond to the active shaft.
First, you should loosen the 6 connecting bolts of the driven gear and the adjustment sleeve, so that they can slightly disengage with each other. Then you can correct the circumferential direction by tightening or loosening the two adjustment bolts with a hand wrench. In addition, our engineers have already thought that customers may need to adjust the ball socket when designing the roller granulator. Therefore, they have reserved sufficient adjustment distance. So the dislocation can be adjusted no matter how much the dislocation is. Finally, you need to test the adjustment effect. Because the ball socket is too small, you can place a carton board between the two rollers during testing. After rolling, you can know whether the adjustment has achieved the purpose by seeing it. After alignment, you can tighten the 8 connecting bolts.
