Abstract
A drum granulator is described in which at least a part of the cylindrical outer wall is resilient. This can be achieved, for example, by forming the drum from steel and fitting it with a resilient rubber lining, which is exposed in way of circumferentially extending slots in the steel. The drum rotates past pivotted rollers which are allowed to descend abruptly onto the resilient part of the wall, dislodging any material which adhered to it.
