TECHNICAL<br />
BULLETIN<br />
<strong>LCI</strong>’s <strong>TDG</strong>-80G <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Dome</strong><br />
<strong>Granulator</strong> is a production scale<br />
twin screw extruder, which converts<br />
wetted powders into pellets of a<br />
controlled size and shape ideally<br />
suited for spheronization.<br />
Features<br />
• Low pressure extrusion with<br />
negligible heat generation<br />
• Screw transport ensures plug flow,<br />
first in first out<br />
• Two 80 mm diameter screws<br />
• Easy-to-clean clamshell design<br />
extrusion chamber for easy access<br />
to process parts<br />
• Hydraulic clamping system for<br />
ease of disassembly<br />
• Capable of producing 100-150<br />
kg/hr<br />
• <strong>Dome</strong> dies capable of producing<br />
0.6-1.2 mm diameter extrudates<br />
• 316 SS GMP design with high<br />
polish finish<br />
• Caster mounted<br />
• 5 hp inverter duty motor in<br />
460 VAC/3/60<br />
• Integrated controls on articulating<br />
arm / integrated electrical panel<br />
Operation<br />
The wet mix, which is typically<br />
prepared in a high shear granulator,<br />
is metered into the feed hopper by a<br />
feeder. <strong>Twin</strong> screws transport the wet<br />
mix to the extrusion zone where it is<br />
then wiped through a dome die<br />
(screen) to produce well formed,<br />
cylindrical extrudates of a controlled<br />
diameter. The extrudates break off<br />
by their own weight and are collected<br />
for the next processing step.<br />
The patented hemispherical<br />
shaped dies result in evenly<br />
distributed extrusion forces.<br />
Integrated<br />
controls are<br />
mounted on an<br />
articulating<br />
arm.<br />
The extrusion chamber<br />
with clamshell design<br />
opens quickly for easy<br />
cleaning and screen<br />
changing.<br />
