Title:
GRANULATING METHOD AND GRANULATING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/148454
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A granulating method is a method wherein granules containing components that are soluble in water are granulated. In the disclosed granulating method, a dispersing element, wherein micro water droplets are dispersed in superheated steam, is ejected from a nozzle, and thus the dispersing element and granules in a flowing-state come into contact with one another. It is preferable that the mass ratio of superheated steam contained in the dispersing element, as a mass ratio found from the theoretical flow amount of superheated steam ejected from the nozzle, and the actual flow amount of water supplied to the nozzle, is set in the range of 20-70 mass%.
