What Is a Swing Granulator?
A swing granulator is a kind of granulator with a simple design; it enables the granulation processing for a variety of raw materials through the rotation of the roller. You can granulate the solid state raw materials into the needed size. It is widely used in medicine and feed production and many other fields.
If you are looking for a reliable swing granulator for your project, you can consider FANQUN ’s swing granulators, we are a professional manufacturer in china and have the ability to provide you with high quality products.
How Does a Swing Granulator Work?
The operation process is straightforward for you to understand. Under the rolling and squeezing action of the rollers, your solid raw material is compressed and cut from a block into smaller particles. As it rolls, it is pushed toward the center of the rollers and passes through a screen to produce finer diameter particles. If the granulated product still retains some moisture, you may need to use a dryer for further processing to obtain the final product.
The Components Of a Swing Granulator
The structure of a swing granulator is also simple. Typically, it consists of a hopper, rollers, and a screen. In practical use, you’ll find that these few components are sufficient to finish the granulation process.
Hopper
The hopper is where you place the raw materials. When using a swing granulator, you must first start the machine. And after the rollers begin rotating, you can slowly and evenly add the materials. This prevents some material lumps from not being crushed, which could lead to poor granulation results, and also prevents raw material powder from clogging the screen mesh and affecting normal operation.
Roller
The roller’s function is to compress and cut lumpy raw materials through oscillation, achieving uniform granulation and pushing the material toward the center for separation through the screen.
During operation, it is crucial for you to note that once the swing granulator starts up, especially after the rollers begin rotating, the operators must never insert their hands into the hopper interior. This applies even if material clumps become stuck. Although the rollers’ motion appears slow, their sharp edges should not be underestimated. Direct hand contact carries a high risk of injury. Therefore, when material jams occur, using a bamboo scraper or stopping the machine for handling is the safer approach.
Screen
The function of the screen is to separate the particles after extrusion and crushing into finer forms. By selecting screens with different mesh sizes, you can control the particle diameter to produce various products.
Advantages of Using a Swing Granulator
Simple Operation
The swinging granulator is one of the simplest granulators in structure, even beginners can learn to operate it quickly. You simply need to install the screen before starting and connect the power supply, then maintain a slow, steady feed rate throughout the operation.
Compact In Size
Most swing granulators are designed to be compact, so they won’t take up too much space. When installing, you just need to place it on a level surface and an environment with great ventilation.
Smooth Working Process
Thanks to its simple construction and operating mechanism, the swing granulator operates smoothly during operation without generating excessive noise that could disturb the surrounding environment. This stable running condition gives the impression of overall reliability and dependability.
Easy to Clean And Maintain
The swing granulator has no complex components. For routine maintenance, what you need to do is simply removing the rollers for cleaning, this also can reduce your maintenance costs.
The Application Areas Of Swing Granulators
Medicine Production
In the medicine production, swing granulators are mainly used to produce the granular medications, capsules and many kinds of medicines. In this area, you may worry about the sanitation and safety of the machines ‘ material. Well, you can rest assured that we use high quality steel to produce this type of granulator to ensure reliability in such an important field.
Chemical Industry
Chemical industries such as resins and additives also require granulation processes, like the production of catalyst granules. This field typically does not demand excessively fine particles, so a swing granulator with medium rotational speed is sufficient. You just need to produce granules that allow the chemical reaction and industrial procedure to proceed normally.
Food Industry
In the process of the food industry, you can use a swing granulator to manufacture the seasoning granules, protein powder or even the solid drink granules, you can trust that the material FANQUN ’s swing granulators use is food grade steel, they can guarantee safety in the food industry.
Agriculture
In agricultural production, swing granulators can also be used to produce granular products such as pesticides and feed, etc. After the granulation, the feed becomes easier to mix and distribute for livestock feeding.
How To Choose a Proper Swing Granulator？
The Production Capacity
When selecting an appropriate swing granulator, you should first consider the machine’s specific production capacity and your required production scale. This is typically expressed as the weight of raw material the machine can process per unit time, measured in kg/h. If your production volume is substantial, you should choose a swing granulator with a higher capacity rating.
Rotational Speed
Meanwhile, the rotational speed determines the pellet diameter size. Generally, higher rotational speeds produce smaller particles and finer granules. For most industrial applications, a rotational speed of around 65 rpm suffices for the majority of scenarios. However, in fields requiring finer powder consistency, such as cosmetic powder compacts and capsule granulation, a granulator operating at 85 rpm or higher may be more suitable.
The Size
When selecting equipment, you also need to consider and calculate the actual floor space to choose a swinging granulator with the appropriate dimensions for your facility. This parameter is typically listed in the product specifications. moreover, you also can consult the manufacturer’s customer service for recommendations after taking actual measurements.
If you require a swing granulator with the right dimensions, FANQUN ‘s customer service team is always online to provide further selection advice.
Common Problems and Their Solutions
Uneven Granules
If you notice uneven particle sizes in the machine’s output, this is likely due to worn rollers or a faulty screen. You should immediately shut down the machine for inspection and replace any defective parts. If the issue is simply a clogged screen, the solution is straightforward, you only need to clean the blocked section.
Materials Blockage
During operation of the swing granulator, blockages are also a common issue, which may be caused by excessive moisture in the material or excessive feed rate. If the problem lies in the feed rate, you can stop the machine to mix the material evenly and restart it with a slow feed rate. If this situation is caused by the moisture, you may need to use a dryer to perform a previous drying operation before proceeding with normal granulation.
Over Heating Of The Device
High temperatures during equipment operation also constitute an abnormality, they are likely caused by overload or abnormal wear. You also need to reduce feed rate and capacity, or shut down for lubrication.

During routine cleaning, you need to remove the rollers after use for prompt cleaning and wipe down the entire machine body to prevent material residue. For periodic maintenance, you should inspect the wear condition of machine components and lubricate them as needed once a month.
Of course, the most critical factor is placing the machine in a suitable operating environment to prolong the service life. You should ensure adequate ventilation for heat dissipation and avoid corrosive industrial settings that could damage the machine body.
Yes, our swing granulators are suitable for both dry powder granulation and wet powder granulation. However, it is important for you to note that the moisture content of the wet powder is critical. Powder with excessively high moisture content may cause blockages in the granulator and result in poor granulation quality.
In fact, you don’t always need to pair a dryer with a granulator. If you’re performing wet granulation, you may need to use a dryer to remove the moisture in the materials to produce dry powder product suitable for long term storage.
A swing granulator also has specific requirements for raw materials. First, the moisture content must not be too high or too low. Materials with excessive moisture may cause machine blockages during granulation, while materials with insufficient moisture may have difficulty forming solid particles.
Secondly, hardness is also crucial. You must pay close attention to the hardness of the raw solid. Although the rollers possess a certain degree of sharpness, their ability to cut excessively hard particles is limited. This may lead to wear or malfunction of your equipment.
