CEMTEC pelletizing discs are the equipment of choice when uniform pellet size and ease of control are important for converting powdered materials into round spherical pellets up to 20 mm in diameter.

Pellet sizing, based on disc angle, disc speed and location of solid and liquid feed, is automatically
controlled through the operational flexibility of CEMTEC pelletizing discs. Laboratory and pilot scale tests will determine optimum flow schemes, equipment sizing and scale up. All inner disc bottoms are lined with “expanded metal” and the disc rim is lined with polyethylene plates to reduce abrasive wear. The base and scraper support provide maximum stability while allowing disc angle adjustment, without the need for separate scraper adjustment. The disc angle is automatically adjustable from 40° to 60° horizontal by electrical operated jacking screw. Also the disc speed is automatically adjustable with a frequency converter from approximately 5 to 11 rpm. Individually mounted vane type plows easily control and maintain the product layer over the disc’s entire surface. The pivot base, a rotating part, is mounted on heavy-duty anti-friction bearings. Automatic lubrication is featured on all CEMTEC discs.
