Application Fields of Bentonite Granulator：CONELE granulating and pelletizing mixers perform mixing and granulating/pelletizing in a single machine.
Foundry Industry — Molding Sand Binder
The bentonite granulator processes bentonite clay into a form suitable as a high-quality molding sand binder. Additionally, pelletized bentonite aids in the production of casting molds for metal products. Meanwhile, the efficiency of the bentonite granulator ensures that the casting sand binder is cost-effective and environmentally friendly, as it allows for the recycling of sand and binder. Medium-sized bentonite particles (typically 0.5 to 2 millimeters) are preferred because they maintain good shape and resist thermal shock during the casting process.
Drilling Fluids and Oil Fields — Bentonite Particles for Stabilizing Rheological Properties
Bentonite particles, with their excellent swelling and adhesive properties, serve as sealants for drilling and base waterproofing. For drilling fluids, finer bentonite particles (usually 0.1-0.5 millimeters) may be more desirable as they suspend more effectively in the mud and provide better lubrication and cooling effects.
Iron Ore Pelletizing — Binder Preparation When Used with Other Additives
The bentonite granulator also has important applications in the iron ore pelletizing industry. In this process, bentonite is used to bind iron ore powder or concentrate into pellets, which serve as raw materials for blast furnace ironmaking. Thus, the pelletizing process assisted by these machines adds value by improving pellet quality and overall efficiency of the pelletizing process.
Cat Litter Production — Dense and Highly Absorbent Particles
Another significant use of the bentonite granulator is in cat litter production. Manufacturers utilize the absorbency, swelling properties, and odor-removing capabilities of bentonite clay to create products that efficiently handle cat waste. In bentonite cat litter, larger bentonite particles (typically 1 to 4 millimeters) are often preferred. They are easier to handle, reduce dust, and offer good moisture absorption and odor elimination.
Civil Engineering-Waterproofing Geomembrane (GCL 0.5-2mm):
Used for seepage prevention in landfills, artificial lakes, etc.; Soil Improvement: Enhances soil water retention and nutrient retention capacity.
Environmental Protection and Agriculture — Wastewater Treatment:
Adsorbs heavy metals and organic pollutants; Fertilizer Carrier/Binder: For producing granular fertilizers or as a binding component.
Feed Industry As a feed additive, it serves functions such as binding, preventing caking, and supplementing trace elements.
