The equipment for our process utilizes the following key equipment:

Powder Mixing and Optional Liquid Addition:

A plow mixer with optional use of high intensity choppers is used to obtain a uniform blend. For products that require wetting agent, liquid is added to form a mass suitable for extrusion.

Extrusion / Pelleting:

An Amandus Kahl Pellet Press is used to compress material into pellets. Various die plates are available. Other extrusion devices can be utilized as needed.

Pellet Cooling and Drying if needed:

A vibrating fluid bed processor is used to cool the pellets so that they can be packaged safely. For products that require drying, up to 300° F air can be used to remove moisture.  Drying / Cooling air is filtered before exhausting.  The pellets are screened to remove any fines.  

Sample Analysis:

Standard product analysis such as bulk density, moisture content, and particle size analysis is available. Other techniques can be offered through special arrangements.

Plant Design and Material Limitations:

The facility has appropriate electrical design, explosion relief and safety considerations to handle Class 1 powders (KST less than 199)

We recognize that the installed equipment may not be exactly the type that you prefer. Our broad process equipment experience allows us to operate many other devices. We may be able to meet your needs by leasing other equipment for your production.
