Gran-U-Lizer™ Technology

Since each particle passes through each "nip" once, there is little re-grinding of previously ground material. This results in a very tight particle size distribution and minimal number of very small particles ("fines").

The following factors influence the Granulizer particle size reduction process:

»  Roll tooth size and shape
»  Relative roll speed - 1:1 ratio, 2:1 ratio, etc.
»  Gap distance between mating rollers

If your material is friable and the above factors are optimized for your product yields, the result is a very tight particle size and the minimization of fines.

To achieve the best particle size distribution possible, each Granulizer is tailored to every application. Beginning in our lab facility, we test samples of the product to determine the optimal roll tooth profile and Granulizer configuration required to maximize your grind results.

The MPE Gran-U-Lizer™ design can incorporate virtually any one of a multitude of roll designs, depending upon each product application.

The MPE "F"/"K" design Gran-U-Lizer™ utilizes either longitudinal or circumferential roll corrugations (cuts) to achieve the optimal particle size distribution for each application.

The MPE "F"/"K" design Gran-U-Lizer™ utilizes a unique cracking process, wherein each mating peak and valley acts as a “fulcrum” point that actually “cracks” each particle as it is bridged between mating rollers.
