The centrifugal pelletizer proposed in the present invention is applicable for producing pellets from a molten metal, such as magnesium or aluminium. The pelletizer comprises a hollow drive shaft, which is enclosed in a housing and rotates in bearings, and a hollow transmission shaft accommodated in the hollow drive shaft so as to define an annular gap between it and said drive shaft. The bottom end of the transmission shaft is rigidly coupled to the drive shaft. In addition, the transmission shaft features a frictional coupling with the drive shaft provided in the bottom portion thereof. In such a centrifugal pelletizer any contact of the molten metal with the drive shaft is fully obviated, which provides for favorable conditions for operation of both said shaft and the bearings in which it rotates.

Centrifugal pelletizer

The plant for producing metallic pellets from a salt-added magnesium or alloys thereof comprises a metal-melting furnace, a centrifugal pelletizer with a perforated bowl and a cylindrical pellet-collecting chamber. A hopper is provided in said cylindrical chamber to divide the latter into two concentric zones open from below, of which one zone is adapted for collecting salvage resulting from the pellet formation process, while the other zone is for pellet collection. Provision of said zones makes it possible to considerably reduce the content of salts in magnesium pellets or in those of alloys thereof, as a great proportion of the salts get into the hopper and is withdrawn from the chamber as process waste, whereas the magnesium pellets settle down in the other zone and are then forwarded for further processing.
