Abstract
Provision of a manufacturing apparatus that can perform steps including a kneading step to a granulating step in one apparatus, can achieve a reduced size of the apparatus as a whole, and can reduce the variation in the diameter of kneaded granules. A manufacturing apparatus comprises: a kneading section feeding a kneaded material to a downstream side in the carrying direction while kneading a raw material; a granulating section performing granulation from the kneaded material generated in the kneading section.
Claims5
A manufacturing apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a kneading section provided on an upstream side in a carrying direction in the housing, the kneading section feeding a kneaded material to a downstream side in the carrying direction while kneading a raw material;
- a granulating section provided on the downstream side in the carrying direction in the housing, the granulating section performing granulation from the kneaded material generated in the kneading section;
- first and second rotating shafts provided along the carrying direction in the housing and arranged to face each other, the first and second rotating shafts rotating at unequal speeds;
- kneading members provided on the first and second rotating shafts at positions corresponding to the kneading section;
- and
- granulating members provided on the first and second rotating shafts at positions corresponding to the granulating section, wherein
- a dam plate is provided to partition the kneading section and the granulating section and adjust an amount of the kneaded material discharged from the kneading section to the granulating section, and
- the first and second rotating shafts pass through the dam plate.
