| Abstract: | Compacting granulation in roller presses . The application and handling, as well as storage and transport, of a bulk solid depend not only on its material properties but to a considerable degree upon its properties of state, such as the fineness of a solid. In cases where the excessively fine division of a solid has detrimental effects, recourse can be taken to increasing the particle size. Among the methods of granulation developed for this purpose in recent years, that of compacting granulation has prooved to be especially well suited. The heart of a compacting granulation system is the compacting process performed by roller presses. This review therefore critically examines the parameters influencing product quality, throughput, and energy consumption. Typical applications are presented to illustrate compacting granulation systems. |
