Pelletizing
Pelletizing is a process that transforms fine materials, such as iron ore or plastic, into small, round pellets. This is typically done by mixing the fine particles with a binder and then rolling them into spherical shapes. The resulting pellets are easier to handle, transport, and use in various applications, such as in steel production or as animal feed.
The pelletizing process often involves drying and hardening the pellets to improve their durability. This can be achieved through methods like heat treatment or cooling. The final product is uniform in size and quality, making it suitable for efficient processing and use in industrial applications.
