CO-NELE CR08 Laboratory Mixing Granulator

Following multiple rounds of technical evaluation, the company selected the CO-NELE CR08 laboratory catalyst granulator. This equipment is specifically designed for small-batch precision granulation and is particularly well-suited for high-value-added powder applications, such as catalysts, battery materials, and ceramic powders.

The CR08 catalyst granulation equipment utilizes the synchronized motion of a high-speed rotor and the drum to generate a three-dimensional turbulent mixing and granulation effect. Within the drum, the powder is subjected to centrifugal forces, shear forces, and airflow dynamics, achieving rapid and uniform mixing before gradually forming granules under the influence of a binder.

The rotational speeds of the rotor and drum can be adjusted independently, allowing operators to precisely control the particle size distribution, sphericity, and compressive strength of the granules.

Since the mixing and granulation mechanism of the CR08 aligns perfectly with CONELE’s medium-to-large-scale production models, the optimal parameters established in the laboratory (such as rotational speed, processing time, and liquid spray volume) can be directly applied to scale-up production, thereby significantly shortening the process development cycle.

To date, this equipment has been successfully deployed for the precision granulation of various materials—including hydrogenation catalysts, adsorbents, and catalyst supports—yielding spherical particles with diameters ranging from 0.2 to 2 mm, and achieving a particle strength compliance rate exceeding 95%.

The CONELE CR08 Mixing Granulator offers the chemical catalyst industry an efficient, flexible, and scalable solution for small-batch precision granulation. By integrating mixing, granulation, and coating into a single unit, this compact laboratory-scale platform enables precise control over particle quality.
