Kason Granted Patent for Vibratory Agglomerator

Kason Corporation has received a U.S. patent on its unique vibratory agglomerator which provides for controlled enhancing, sizing and screening of compacted particulates in an industrial or sanitary environment. The significant feature which differentiates the Kason design is the controlled use of vibratory energy to produce high strength, uniform particles.

PATENTED

The Kason agglomerator can be efficiently used for increasing particle size of ceramics, minerals, chemicals, food ingredients, detergents and similar materials. The new, patented unit is particularly suited for those applications which now require complex equipment to assure uniform product enlargement and sizing under sanitary conditions.

In addition to controlled vibration, other factors affecting the size, uniformity and density of the finished product include the amplitude and frequency of vibration, as well as the number and slope of the agglomerating cones cascading in series flow to control dwell time. The agglomerator can be supplied with integral screening decks so that particles can be sized in the "green" state.

Kason agglomerators are available in sizes from laboratory 24-inch diameters to production models up to 72 inches. The design accommodates systems which introduce the binder to the dry powder prior to entering the unit, or apply it through integral spray nozzles within the agglomerator itself.
