Granulating

The granulation of metal powders and ceramic bonds is a process for the production of granulates that are used for volumetric cold pressing. The advantages of using granulates are manifold. The lower die wear increases the consistency and durability of the mould dies, which leads to reduced wear and a longer service life of the mould components. At the same time, the powder and diamond distribution in the segment is improved, as the granulate enables a homogeneous distribution of metal powder and diamonds, which optimises the material properties for a higher product quality. Another benefit is the reduction of metal powder dust in the air, which minimises environmental impact through lower dust emissions while improving working conditions and air quality in production.

Process control and optimisation play a decisive role. Adjustable parameters for pelletising processes are important here, as is the monitoring of pellet quality and consistency. The integration of automation technologies enables precise results and contributes to increasing the efficiency of the overall process.

The improvement in quality is reflected in the homogeneity of the pellets, which in turn leads to uniform material properties. This helps to reduce defects and inhomogeneities in the end products and increases production efficiency through granulation. The optimisation of the structure and properties of the end products is another positive aspect of this process.
