Why a Pelletizing Disc?

 

Pelletizing discs are widely selected in iron ore pelletizing plants due to their balance of control, flexibility, and operational reliability.

Compared with alternative balling equipment, pelletizing discs offer:

• Improved control over green pellet size distribution

• Adjustable operating parameters to accommodate feed and process fluctuations

• Stable pellet formation with reduced fines generation

• Modular capacity through parallel disc arrangements

• Practical accessibility for inspection and maintenance

These characteristics make pelletizing discs particularly well suited for pellet plants where product consistency and operational adaptability are key priorities.

 

Key Advantages at a Glance

 

• Consistent Pellet Quality
  Produces green pellets within a controlled size range, supporting stable downstream screening and induration.

• Flexible Process Control
  Adjustable disc inclination and variable-speed operation allow operators to fine-tune pellet growth and respond effectively to changing process conditions.

• Heavy-Duty Industrial Design
  Engineered to handle abrasive and slightly sticky iron ore materials under continuous, high-duty operation.

• Gentle Material Handling
  Controlled rolling action and smooth pellet discharge help preserve green pellet integrity and minimize degradation.

• Low Maintenance Concept
  Integrated scraper arrangement and centralized lubrication support long-term reliability with reduced maintenance effort.

Operational Stability & Process Control

 

Stable operation is essential for maintaining consistent green pellet quality over long production campaigns. The CVIC Pelletizing Disc is designed to operate reliably under fluctuating feed rates, moisture variations, and changing ore characteristics commonly encountered in industrial pelletizing plants.

​

Operational control is achieved through a combination of adjustable disc inclination, variable rotational speed, and regulated water addition, allowing operators to fine-tune pellet growth and quickly respond to process disturbances. This flexibility supports steady pellet formation, minimizes size deviation, and contributes to smooth downstream screening and induration performance.

​

The design philosophy emphasizes practical and responsive control, ensuring stable operation without excessive operator intervention or complex adjustments.

 

Typical Applications

 

• Iron ore pelletizing plants

• Green pellet formation prior to induration

• New pellet plant projects and expansions

• Modernization and capacity upgrades of existing pelletizing lines

• Continuous-duty, dusty, heavy-industrial environments

Mechanical Design Highlights

 

• Robust Disc and Support Structure

      The disc and base frame are designed to withstand continuous operation, process loads, and vibration typical of pelletizing           plants.

• Wear-Resistant Lining System

       Disc bottom and side walls are protected with wear-resistant liners suitable for abrasive iron ore materials.

• Integrated Scraper System

       Fixed-position scrapers continuously clean the disc surface, regulate material movement, and support stable pellet growth during                operation.

• Reliable Drive System

       Industrial motor and gearbox with variable-speed control provide smooth startup, stable torque delivery, and precise speed                          adjustment.

• Centralized Lubrication

       Lubrication of critical bearings and drive components supports reliable operation and extended service life.

 

Maintenance & Service Philosophy

 

The CVIC Pelletizing Disc is engineered with a maintenance-friendly philosophy to support high plant availability and reduced lifecycle costs.

​

Wear-prone areas such as the disc bottom, side walls, and scraper contact surfaces are protected with replaceable wear liners designed for abrasive operating conditions. The integrated scraper system continuously cleans the disc during operation, reducing material buildup and minimizing unplanned shutdowns for manual cleaning.

​

A centralized lubrication system simplifies routine maintenance while supporting long-term reliability of critical components. The open and accessible equipment layout allows for straightforward inspection, servicing, and replacement of wear parts during planned maintenance intervals.

​

This approach ensures the pelletizing disc remains reliable, serviceable, and well suited for long-term operation in demanding industrial environments.
