Dewatering
Drying and Pelletizing Equipment
Drying and pelletizing equipment removes residual moisture after filtration and forms the product into pellets or granules for handling, transport, or downstream pyrometallurgical feed. The step directly affects storage stability, dust generation, and furnace performance.
Equipment in this category
Choosing between a horizontal dryer, drum granulator, or disc granulator depends on feed moisture, target particle size, and material heat sensitivity. Testwork ties these variables to a specific flowsheet.
The horizontal dryer handles large-tonnage bulk drying across a wide moisture range. Drum granulators suit continuous pelletizing with a rolling bed and binder addition, while disc granulators deliver tighter size distribution through controlled seed growth on an inclined pan. A plant often pairs a dryer with a granulator.

What decides the selection
Start by defining initial and target moisture and the material’s thermal degradation limit; these set the dryer type and residence time. Pellet size distribution and binder regime drive granulator selection, while dust and off-gas handling influence ancillary system design. Bench-scale and pilot tests confirm throughput, pellet strength, and drying curve.
