Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the production of granular granulations. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventional granulated products are produced by hand. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 61-087618 (1986) [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2022-114749 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Conventional manufacturing methods involve rolling the bulk material in the palm of the hand to form granules, which poses problems in terms of hygiene, granule shape and size, as well as very poor production efficiency, making them disadvantageous in terms of productivity and cost. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is characterized by a method for producing granular granulated material that uses a granulator to carry out a continuous series of steps, including melting and stirring (50°C to 80°C), dripping, and granulation, rather than the conventional handmade production method. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] The present invention solves hygiene issues by continuously carrying out manufacturing processes using the granulator shown in Figure 1 and other machines, stabilizing the shape, increasing production efficiency, and enabling manufacturing at a more advantageous cost. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a production facility used in the granulation method of the present invention. [Example]
[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the manufacturing method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figure 1, bulk B is mixed and melted in a warm melt filling machine, then dropped into the granulator from a dropping nozzle using a piston extrusion process, and after falling into the mineral powder inside the granulator, it rises in a spiral structure due to vibration, causing the mineral powder to adhere to the surface of the granules, and the vibration creates granules with a stable shape, which are then discharged from the granulator outlet into a receiving tray. The vibration of the granulator is extremely important in the contact process between the granules and the mineral powder, and by controlling the vibration of the granulator, it is possible to obtain granules with a more stable, nearly spherical shape.

Claims
1. The present invention is a method for producing granular granules that uses a granulator to carry out a continuous series of steps, including melting and stirring (50°C to 80°C), dropping, and granulation, rather than the conventional handmade production method. A step of dripping a liquid composition mainly composed of oil (70% to 95%) and wax (5% to 30%) into a granulator. A step of discharging the granulated material into granules while vibrating the granulator.
2. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein mineral powder is placed at the location where the powder is dropped.
3. In this manufacturing method, the material is dropped into the granulator, and the mineral powder adheres to the surface due to vibration. The material then rises in a spiral structure, forming granules, which then fall from the outlet.
4. 2. A continuous method for producing the granular granulation containing the aroma component according to claim 1.
