Oscillating Granulator

Whether it be a wet powder or a pack of dry block materials, the Oscillating Granulator will develop the material into fine and consistent granules. The Oscillating Granulators come with an elastically adjustable wire screen mesh that is easy to assemble and disassemble. The main elements of the swing granulation machine are composed of an enclosed steel-plated body and a lubrication system that enables it to run smoothly without producing any unnecessary noise.
The oscillating granulation is a popular powder granulating machine used for size reduction or forming the required granule sizes from moist powder material or for crushing dried block stock, sensitive powders, and granules in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. swing granulators make the quality of granules better by facilitating their flowability and handling.
Understanding the oscillating granulator working principle will help you make an informed decision for your granulation needs. This article provides everything you need to know about the equipment. Let's dive right in!

Oscillating Granulator Introduction

The oscillating granulator is also called a sway granulator, or swing granulator. it is an important wet granulation machine. YK series oscillating granulator is usually the key equipment of the instant granule production line. The pellet production line includes the following equipment: CH tank mixer, YK series oscillating granulators, Centrifugal spheronization machine, dryer (such as vibrating fluidized bed dryer, static fluidized bed dryer, vertical fluid bed dryer, or hot air oven), and screening machine. This production line can make the dry powder into uniform and instant granules. If the customer wants to make the final pellets into a ball shape, the wet pellets will be sent to the QL Centrifugal Spheronizer   to obtain wet pellets and dried by a dryer.

Hywell Machinery has laboratory machinery for the factory or experimental agency product development stage, please pay attention to hywell company's laboratory swing granulator.

An oscillating granulator is a type of machinery used in the pharmaceutical industry for the granulation of powders. It consists of a horizontal cylinder that oscillates back and forth, causing the powder inside to be granulated into small particles.

The oscillating granulator operates using a rotor that is attached to a shaft. As the rotor rotates, it causes the powder to move around the cylinder, and the oscillations of the cylinder help to break up the powder into granules. The granules can then be collected and used for further processing, such as compression into tablets.

Oscillating granulators are preferred in the pharmaceutical industry for their ability to produce granules with uniform size and shape, as well as their ease of use and maintenance. They are also relatively compact and cost-effective compared to other granulation equipment.

The oscillating granulator is mainly used as granulator equipment for small batch production of food or pharmaceuticals wet granules. If you need a large-volume dry granulation design for chemicals or fertilizers, please check out our company's roller compactor granulator.

2. All specifications of swing granulator are as accurate as is reasonably possible, but they are not binding.

3. It also have the lab scale granulation machine


Oscillating Granulator Type

There are single-head oscillating granulators and double-head oscillating granulators. single-head wet granulator means one rotor is installed in a hopper, and two-head granulator means that two rotors are installed in a hopper. If the installation space is limited but the output capacity is relatively large, a double-head granulator can be considered.

How do the Oscillating Granulators Works

Hywell machinery YK series oscillating granulator is mainly composed of a hopper, a drum, a screen, etc. The rotating drum is installed under the hopper, and there are sealed end covers at the front and rear. The rotating drum can be removed and cleaned at any time, as long as the front adjusting screw and front cover are removed Remove the three screws from the front end cover, and then the roller can be taken out.

Hywell machinery YK series swing granulation machine uses mechanical transmission to make the cage drum rotor reciprocate to perform forced granulation or collision crushing of the material. The gap between the screen and the rotating cage is controlled and the granules are extruded. Its production capacity is as follows The moisture, type, viscosity, and mesh of the material vary, and different particle sizes can be obtained by changing the aperture of different screens.

The structure of the hopper and the granulating device is designed according to the principle of easy installation, cleaning, and use. The structural materials of the swing oscillating granulator in contact with the material are all made of stainless steel and non-toxic nylon, which ensures the cleanliness of the product and no chemical reaction.

Oscillating Granulator Main Components

What are the major parts that play a key role in the oscillating granulator working principle?  the Oscillating Granulation machine includes the feeder hopper, rotor, sieve, hand wheel, Drive unit (Motor and Gearbox), and Control Panel.

1. Feed Hopper

The feed hopper is used to load the materials to be granulated. Since the oscillating granulator can be used for wet granulation, the hopper is designed to hold pre-wetting materials. and the hopper is made of stainless steel and all welded and polished.

2. Oscillating Rotor

The oscillating rotor comes in a stainless-steel construction. the rotor is mounted at the bottom of the feed hopper. This component features multiple arms that are arranged in a cylindrical fashion. These rotor arms with sharp edges function as blades to break down the large agglomerates. base the machine model, one set machine can install one rotor or two rotors. The rotor works by oscillating and rotating on a horizontal axis. It rotates from side to side to crush the oversized product to be granulated.

3. Sieve

The sieve comes in a perforated metal sheet. It functions as a mesh screen and half wraps around the oscillating rotor from the bottom. With a stainless-steel construction, the sieve works to grade and screen the particles crushed by the oscillating rotor.

The oscillating granulator sieve is available in various sizes and perforated types. Sieve helps achieve the desired particle sizes depending on your production needs. Our sieve has a round and square model. The perforated metal sheet's smallest hole is 1.5mm, if the hole is small than 1.5mm, it can use the steel net sieve or nylon sieve.

4. Hand Wheels

The oscillating granulator generally has a pair of hand wheels. They come with removable bars to secure the sieve and adjust its tension. When the mesh screen needs to be replaced, you can unscrew the retaining nuts to pull out the adjustment bars without tools.

5. Drive unit

The oscillating granulator machine drive unit includes the motor and gearbox. and the motor gearbox is installed on the base of the wet granulator. The rotor is driven by the motor and gearbox to deliver oscillating and rotating motions for the granulation process.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Oscillating Granulator

When choosing an oscillating granulator, there are several factors to consider, including:

• Material properties: The material properties, such as size, shape, and hardness, can affect the performance of the granulator.

• Particle size: The desired particle size will determine the size of the holes in the screen and the type of rotor needed.

• Production capacity: The production capacity needed will determine the size of the granulator needed.

• Dust collection: The need for a dust collection system should be considered, especially in the pharmaceutical industry.


Maintenance and Cleaning of Oscillating Granulators

Proper maintenance and cleaning of oscillating granulators are essential for optimal performance and longevity. Some tips for maintenance and cleaning include:

• Regular inspection of the granulator and its components for wear and damage.

• Regular lubrication of moving parts.

• Cleaning of the hopper, rotor, and screen after each use to prevent contamination and buildup.

• Disassembly of the granulator for deep cleaning on a regular basis.

• Following the manufacturer's instructions for maintenance and cleaning.
