  • Publication number: 20250099933
    Abstract: A fluidized bed granulation (FBG) system includes a pre-wetting subsystem, wherein feedstock is pre-wet to a predetermined % value, a fluidization chamber (FC), an inlet coupled to the FC, a plenum coupled to the FC by a distributor plate having slots through which a fluidization gas is passed to the FC at a velocity and a direction, an outlet compartment coupled to the FC by a termination plate having one or more filter bags, a liquid binder system adapted to introduce a liquid binder into the FC, and an outlet configured to eject granulated product, and a plurality of sensors adapted to inform a processor executing instructions maintained on a non-transitory memory, wherein the processor using a mass, energy, and fluidization balance model is adapted to optimize the FBG system to provide the granulated product having an optimized geometric mean and geometric standard deviation between about 2.0 and about 1.0.

  • Publication number: 20240350993
    Abstract: A mixing assembly includes a mixing basin, first and second pluralities of mixing paddles, and at least one motor. The mixing basin includes first and second parallel shafts extending therethrough. Each of the first and second pluralities of mixing paddles are positioned in an interior of the mixing basin. Each paddle of the first plurality of mixing paddles is coupled with the first shaft and configured to rotate about a first axis and each paddle of the second plurality of mixing paddles is coupled with the second shaft and configured to counter-rotate about a second axis. The counter-rotating mixing paddles are spaced apart to define a shear gap therebetween, and the motor is operable to drive the counter-rotation of the mixing paddles.
