Sandvik Process Systems will use this year’s Powtech fair to highlight the versatility and capacity of its systems. With granulation systems available for applications as diverse as foodstuffs, subcooling melts, thixotrpy, abrasive and corrosive products, Sandvik offers one of the widest ranges of process solutions on the market. Working examples of two steel belt-based granulation systems – the Rotoform 3000 and Rotoform HS (high speed) models – will provide the focus of the company’s stand – Booth 425 in Hall 7. The steel belt cooler is designed as an integrated system, incorporating everything needed to complete the solidification process, from Rotoform feeding, steel belt and automatic belt tracking to release agent, discharge device and exhaust air system. Each of the nine different members of the Rotoform family has been designed to meet specific process requirements and all are based around the same basic concept that has led to more than 1500 Rotoforms being installed around the world. The Rotoform 3000 is the standard unit and is widely used for products such as hot melt adhesives, resins, sulphur and waxes. However, some oil and gas refineries need higher capacity solutions and it was to meet this need that the HS model was developed.
