CR04 10L Wet Granulator for 2–4mm Tailings Granulation

This page introduces the CR04 10L laboratory wet granulator and its application in tailings granulation. The shows the complete process from feeding, wet mixing, shear granulation, spheroidization to final discharging, demonstrating how the equipment produces stable 2–4mm tailings granules through a closed and intensive wet granulation process.

The CR04 is designed for small-batch formulation testing, process verification and sample preparation in laboratory environments. It is suitable for mine tailings, mineral powder and other industrial solid waste powders, helping users develop repeatable granulation parameters for subsequent sintering, pressing, building material filler research and solid waste recycling experiments.

Tailings granulation test 

The demonstrates a typical tailings granulation test using the CR04 10L wet granulator. After the tailings powder is fed into the chamber, the equipment performs low-speed pre-mixing to disperse powder agglomerates. Binder is then added, and the material is mixed until a uniform wet soft mass is formed.

In the granulation stage, the wet material is subjected to continuous shear, rolling and densification. Through precise control of mixing speed, granulation time and liquid-solid ratio, the material gradually forms rounded and compact granules. The final product is discharged by cylinder flipping, showing 2–4mm tailings granules with uniform size, high sphericity and low breakage rate.

This Shows the CR04 10L laboratory wet granulator processing mine tailings into standard 2–4mm granules.

The equipment adopts a closed intensive wet granulation process, integrating powder mixing, wetting, shear agglomeration and spheroidization in one step. With frequency conversion speed control and a 3D turbulent mixing structure, it helps reduce powder agglomeration, segregation and uneven particle size.

The 10L chamber is suitable for laboratory formula testing, process optimization and sample production. It can be used to develop stable parameters for tailings recycling, building material filler development and subsequent sintering or pressing processes.

The final granules show a controlled 2–4mm particle size, high sphericity, uniform density and good mechanical strength, meeting the basic requirements for solid waste recycling and industrial material testing.

120s Professional Process Script

The CR04 10L wet granulator is a laboratory-scale granulation equipment designed for tailings and mineral powder processing. Its inclined closed chamber helps reduce mixing dead angles and improves material uniformity during wet granulation.

After tailings powder is fed into the chamber, the equipment starts low-speed pre-mixing to break up dry agglomerates. Binder is added quantitatively, and the material is mixed at high speed to form a consistent wet soft mass. This stage is important for avoiding uneven wetting, local caking and dry material residue.

In the core granulation process, the wet material is continuously sheared, tumbled and densified. Under controlled mechanical force, the tailings powder gradually aggregates into small nuclei, which then grow into compact and rounded granules. By adjusting mixing speed, granulation time and liquid-solid ratio, the equipment can target a stable 2–4mm particle size range.

Compared with traditional granulation methods, the CR04 aims to improve granulation consistency, reduce fine powder loss and produce granules with better sphericity and higher internal density.

At the end of the test, the cylinder is flipped for discharging. The residue-free design makes it convenient for multi-batch tests and formula comparison. The finished 2–4mm tailings granules can be used for laboratory testing, process scaling and solid waste recycling research.
