Drying Limestone Pellets After Agglomeration. Since the pelletizing process typically uses a liquid binder to form pellets, drying is necessary after pelletizing to essentially "cure" pellets into their final form. This creates a stable, durable product, and helps to prevent issues such as mold growth and caking.
Promoting and preventing agglomeration in the mixing process
The ability to prevent or promote granule formation in a mixing process is highly dependent on the operator's understanding of the material's unique characteristics and the principles behind agitation (tumble-growth) agglomeration. This includes moisture content, motion, speed, retention time and temperature.

What is the Difference Between Pelleting and Pelletizing?
Pelletizing is a non-pressure agglomeration method, whereby material fines tumble against each other in the presence of a binding agent. The material fines become tacky, stick together, and pick up more fines as they tumble, in a process known as coalescence. Pelletizing can be accomplished using a rotary drum or a pan granulator (disc ...

Development of a Novel Grinding Process to Iron Ore Pelletizing …
As far as the pelletizing process is concerned, particles at solid phase (which is the mixture of ore fines, additives, and binders) need a liquid phase (water) for a sustainable intergranular network. Furthermore, water plays an important role in the agglomeration and has a direct influence on green pellets plasticity.
