Solutions for Granulating

For the production of granules we can offer you three different systems.

 

- For a frequent or permanent production of granules our GU series granulating machines will be the first choice

 

- If you want to produce granules only occasionally, the additional equipment of a vacuum pressure or a continuous casting machine with a granulating tank is a good alternative

 

- For the production of micro granules we recommend our GU500 Micro

 

 

 

The Granulating Machines GU 500, GU 1000 D, GU 3000 D and GU 12000 D

The machines are developed especially for granulating of metal bullions into proper grains. They are used with a separate removable granulation tank (no tank integrated) and are available with crucible sizes from 245 ccm up to 12,000 ccm.

 

The major applications are

 

- Preparation of alloys out of gold and master alloy under inert gas atmosphere or under vacuum

 

- Preparation of alloy components under inert gas atmosphere or under vacuum

 

- Preparation of alloys from components under inert gas atmosphere or under vacuum

 

- Cleaning up of already casted metal under inert gas atmosphere or under vacuum

 

The Granulating Tank for casting machines of the VC and CC series

 

The optional eqiupment of a vacuum pressure or a continuous casting machine with a granulating tank is a suitable solution for time-to-time granulating jobs. Granulating tanks are available for all machines of the VCseries from VC400 on up to the VC12000 and for all CC machines.

 

The main advantages of the new generation of granulating tanks:

 

- Easy fixing of the granulating tank

 

- Fast changing between casting process and granulating

 

- Ergonomically and perfectly balanced design for safe and easy handling

 

- Optimized streaming behaviour of the cooling water

 

- Reliable separation of water and granules

 

The Micro Shot Systems GU 500 Micro, GU 1000 Micro and GU 3000 Micro

 

The GU Micro series was developed for the production of micro granules with a grain size of between 0.1 and 1 mm. The systems are based on the Indutherm granulation units as characterized but all key components, particulary the jet system, are special developments. The main areas of application for the mico-granules are in metal laser sintering processes, in jewellery surface design and in soldering technology.
