A grinding apparatus for finely grinding material and for granulating that material is disclosed. The apparatus includes a chamber (2), grinding means (3c) and pelletising means (4). The grinding means (3c) and pelletising means (4) are housed within the chamber (2). The grinding means (3c) are adapted to both grind the material to effect finely ground material particles and apply pressure to subsequently compress the finely ground material particles into granules via the pelletising means (4). One or both of the grinding means (3c) and the pelletising means (4) are configured to maximise the residence time of the material in contact with the grinding means (3c) to effect the finely ground material component to produce granules formed via the pelletising means in a single-pass, one operation grinding and pelleting process. The granules formed include a fine to superfine particle portion of fine particles in the range of less than 75 micron and less than 45 micron in size, respectively. Granules of material and a method of manufacturing granules of material are also disclosed. |
