Vorrichtung zum Palletieren oder Granulieren eines flüssigen oder pastösen Stoffes

摘要

The invention relates to a device for pelleting or granulating a liquid or pasty substance using a liquid cooling medium. A prior art device contains a pump for the liquid cooling medium, a horizontal or sloped channel that is open at the top and provided for the cooling medium, a feed device for the substance to be pelleted, and a conveyor belt for conveying the produced pellets away. The prior art device has a drawback in that smaller pellets are entrained by the liquid cooling medium whereby rendering their utilization impossible. In order to overcome this drawback, the invention provides that the channel is flow-connected to a separating device. The separating device comprises one or more receptacles whose bottom(s) is/are formed by a fine-meshed straining cloth. This makes it possible to use small-volume pellets.
