When a company plans to purchase a rotary drum granulator, it is crucial to grasp the key points, which directly affect whether the equipment can meet production needs and the economic benefits of the enterprise.

Firstly, clarify the production scale and product requirements. Determine the production capacity of the rotary drum granulator according to your own production plan. If it is a small enterprise with low initial production demand, it can choose small and more economical equipment with low investment cost and small footprint, which can meet small-scale production needs. Large enterprises, on the other hand, need to choose large drum granulators with strong production capacity and high degree of automation to ensure large-scale and efficient production. At the same time, it is important to be clear about the specific requirements of the product, such as particle size, shape, strength, etc., in order to select equipment that can meet these requirements.

Secondly, evaluate the quality of the equipment. High quality rotary drum granulators are usually made of high-quality materials. The drum part should be made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant steel to ensure that it is not easily damaged during long-term material rolling and friction, and to extend the service life of the equipment. Key components such as transmission systems and bearings also need to have good performance and reliability. Checking the manufacturing process of the equipment, whether the welding is firm, and whether the assembly is precise are all important indicators for measuring the quality of the equipment.

Furthermore, pay attention to the adaptability of the equipment. Different production raw materials have differences in humidity, viscosity, particle size, etc., and the adaptability of the rotary drum granulator to the raw materials is crucial. Before making a purchase, it is necessary to explain in detail the characteristics of the raw materials to the supplier and understand the equipment's processing capacity for these materials. For example, for raw materials with high humidity, does the equipment have corresponding processing measures to ensure normal granulation.

In addition, the degree of automation of the equipment is also a factor that needs to be considered. A highly automated rotary drum granulator can reduce manual operation, improve production efficiency, and ensure product quality stability. Advanced automation control systems can monitor and adjust various parameters during the granulation process in real time, such as drum speed, material feed rate, adhesive spray rate, etc., reducing manual errors.

Price and after-sales service cannot be ignored. On the premise of ensuring equipment quality and performance, compare multiple aspects and choose products with high cost-effectiveness. At the same time, it is necessary to choose suppliers with good after-sales service, including equipment installation and commissioning, operation training, maintenance, and timely supply of accessories. Good after-sales service can ensure that equipment is quickly resolved when problems arise, reduce downtime, and ensure normal production.

In short, when choosing a rotary drum granulator, it is necessary to consider the above points comprehensively, make cautious decisions, and select the most suitable equipment for the production and operation of the enterprise.
