Applications - Pelletising & Sintering

Pelletising and sintering are processes that involve the build-up of fines to created larger lumps which are dried or fused to have enough structural strength to be further processed.

LFM Pelletiser Moisture Analyser

The LFM Pelletiser is designed for pelletising applications where very high accuracies are required.  It is at its best when the feed is homogenous and is delivered at a steady feed rate.  In applications such as this the LFM Pelletiser has acheived accuracies of +/- 0.1% (one standard deviation).

  • Very high accuracy moisture control through online measurement.  This allows for precise addition of water to the pelletising line prior to pelletising.
  • To achieve high accuracy, very high standards of moisture sampling are required.  Intalysis can assist in designing the appropriate sampling plan.

LFM Pelletiser 50 is available in two models: 

  • LFM Pelletiser 50 is the standard model  
  • LFM Pelletiser 50 W is the wide belt unit which as about 10% greater capacity in terms of bed depth when fitted on conveyors where the feed width is greater than 90cm.
