Abstract:: Abstract: By summarizing the advantages and disadvantages of other granulators and analyzing market demand, a novel spinning granulator is designed by SolidWorks. After the structural design of the granulator is completed, the size assembly of the spinning granulator, the selection of spinning knife material and the stress distribution of screen mesh are analyzed by the finite element analysis of Simulation. Finally, the size optimization of each part is carried out to obtain a granulator that can be used for actual production. Mortises and tenons are used for the connection and coordination between the parts of the granulator, which greatly facilitates the disassembly. The proposed structural design is based on the principle of "easy to assemble and disassemble, clean, use, etc., reducing the wear caused by the disassembly, realizing modular production, and having high utilization rate", which provides a reference for the optimal design of spinning granulator in the future.
