How to Select the Right Zirconia Granulator?

2026.10.13  |  CO-NELE

Zirconia is characterized by a high specific gravity, low bulk density, and poor flowability; consequently, granulation is an essential step in the production of zirconia ceramics. When using the CO-NELE granulating mixer, the rotor spins rapidly while the mixing vessel rotates at a constant speed. The powder undergoes repeated kneading within the equipment, progressing sequentially through the stages of nucleation, layering, and densification. The granules are compacted under controlled shear forces rather than relying solely on gravity and adhesion for natural growth. Compared to spray granulation, this mixing-granulation process requires less liquid addition, prevents the formation of hollow structures within the zirconia granules, and results in higher granule strength.

The CO-NELE mixer-granulator offers great flexibility in controlling granule size. As different zirconia products entail varying granulation requirements, the machine can accommodate a wide range of specifications, with granule size adjustable in real-time.

The CO-NELE zirconia granulator delivers high granulation efficiency. Processing times vary depending on the specific application and the particle size of the raw zirconia material; depending on the client's operational needs, a single batch may take anywhere from 8 to 20 minutes. The choice of binder significantly influences the granulation outcome, so optimal production rates are typically determined through practical testing.
