Process Description: Feed material to the Spheronizer falls onto the rapidly rotating plate located at the bottom of the Spheronizer. This plate contains many small sharply edged pyramids which break the extrudates to length at approximately 1 to 1.5 times their diameter. Centrifugal and gravitational forces create a mechanically fluidized ring of these particles which impact not only the plate but also each other and the walls with great velocity. With these impacts, they are reformed into spheres with a slightly densified surface. Fines which are generated during the process are worked back into the spheres themselves leaving a very low dusting process with spheres which tend not to dust because of their slightly harder exterior and lack of corners.

Variables for this spheronization process include the formulation, the plate’s pyramid sizes, the plate’s rotational speed, and finally the time that the granules are allowed to stay inside the spheronizer.
