Pelletizing Drum

Improve process performance with the durable and reliable agglomeration drum that ensures uniform agglomeration of various fine materials.

Benefits

Enables cheaper raw materials to be used in the smelter due to uniform agglomerated ore
Stabilizes furnace performance and increases throughput by using pellets
Improves process performance in various agglomeration applications like heap leaching and smelting
Offers improved leaching efficiency if agglomerated ore is sprayed with a solvent and mixed
Has a robust and maintenance-friendly design

Metso Pelletizing Drum is used to produce uniform agglomerates from fine materials. The feed material can be fine concentrate or waste material, for example from the iron making process.

Pelletizing – for chromite, manganese, or iron concentrate for ferroalloys and steel making processes
Heap leaching – for agglomeration of ore fines such as uranium or nickel
Agglomeration of recycling materials and fine dusts – for recycling materials from ferronickel, ferrochrome, or the steel making process

Agglomerates are screened with the Outotec Roller Screen after discharging from the drum. Under and over-sized agglomerates are recycled back into the process.

Two sizes of pelletizing drum available
Drum inclination and rotating speed are adjustable according to the capacity and retaining time
Liner material can be selected according to the application
Various accessories are available, like a spray bar, roller screen, pellet size measurement device, and mixer
