  • Publication number: 20240115505
    Abstract: A device suitable for forming spherical particle clusters from fine powder is a device through which spherical particle clusters having a controlled particle size and a controlled hardness can be prepared from the fine powder by using a rolling granulation principle without adding any solution or solid binder. In particular, the device includes the following components: a) a preforming device for preforming particle clusters formed from fine powder, so that the particle clusters have a certain strength and shape while conveying the particle clusters to a next step at a certain speed; b) a spheroidizing device for further strengthening the particle clusters formed by a) the preforming device, so that the particle clusters have a higher sphericity and hardness; and c) a grading device for sieving the particle clusters spheroidized by b) the spheroidizing device to obtain particle clusters of different particle size ranges.
