Choosing the right equipment is crucial when planning to invest in a disc granulator, as it affects production efficiency, product quality, and the economic benefits of the enterprise. Here are some key purchasing points.

Firstly, clarify the production requirements. The specifications and output of the disc granulator should be determined based on its own production scale. If it is a small production enterprise or an initial production project with low daily production demand, a small and cost-effective disc granulator can be chosen. This type of equipment has a small footprint, low investment cost, relatively simple operation, and can meet the needs of small-scale production. For large enterprises, it is necessary to choose large disc granulators with strong production capacity and high degree of automation to ensure efficient and stable large-scale production.

Secondly, consider the characteristics of the raw materials. Different raw materials have differences in humidity, viscosity, particle size, etc., which can affect the granulation effect. For example, for raw materials with high humidity, it is necessary to choose a disc granulator with good dehumidification function or able to adapt to high humidity materials; For materials with poor viscosity, it may be necessary to use a suitable adhesive system to ensure smooth granulation of the material. Therefore, before making a purchase, it is necessary to fully understand the characteristics of the raw materials and consult with the equipment supplier about the adaptability of their equipment to the raw materials.

Equipment quality is a key factor. High quality disc granulators are usually made of high-quality materials, such as high-strength steel used to make discs and key components, to ensure the durability of the equipment. Checking the manufacturing process of the equipment, such as whether the welding is firm and whether the surface treatment is fine, is also an important aspect of judging the quality of the equipment. In addition, the stability of the equipment and whether there is significant vibration and noise during operation should also be examined.

The supporting facilities of the granulator cannot be ignored. A complete granulation system may include feeding devices, spraying systems, screening equipment, etc. The feeding device should be able to evenly and stably transport materials to the disc; The spraying system should be able to accurately control the spraying amount and coverage range of the adhesive; The screening equipment is used to screen out qualified granular products. The completeness and performance of these supporting facilities directly affect the quality and efficiency of granulation.

Price is one of the factors to consider when making a purchase, but it cannot be determined solely by the price. On the premise of ensuring that the equipment quality and performance meet production needs, multiple comparisons should be made to select products with high cost-effectiveness. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the after-sales service of equipment suppliers, including equipment installation and commissioning, operation training, maintenance, and parts supply. Good after-sales service can ensure timely resolution of equipment problems encountered during use, reducing production downtime.

In short, when choosing a suitable disc granulator, it is necessary to consider multiple aspects and make cautious decisions, laying a solid foundation for the production and operation of the enterprise.
