Basket Granulator™ Extruder

Materials are gravity fed into the granulator and are wiped through perforated screens by extrusion blades creating cylindrical extrudates of a controlled diameter. Extrudates then fall onto a rotating table for discharge to the next processing step.

Features and Benefits

• Uniform extrusion pressure across entire screen area
• Easy disassembly for cleaning 
• Adjustable discharge chute location
• Easy scale-up
• High yield
• Better particle size distribution
• Improved flowability
• Excellent process repeatability
• Minimal holdup volume
