CO-NELE Intensive Granulator (integrated mixer-granulator) is a professional, high-efficiency core equipment independently developed by CO-NELE for the production of petroleum ceramic proppant (bauxite ceramsite). It integrates high-shear mixing, uniform humidification and precise spherical granulation in one unit, specially designed for manufacturing high-strength, high-roundness and high-density ceramic proppants used in oil and gas hydraulic fracturing projects. Compared with traditional disc granulators, the CO-NELE intensive granulator solves the pain points of unstable pellet quality, low bulk density and high breakage rate, and is the preferred equipment for high-end petroleum proppant production lines.

The CO-NELE intensive granulator adopts an optimized eccentric rotor composite motion structure, combining an adjustable inclined drum and high-speed shear rotor to form a three-dimensional turbulent granulation environment:
Against traditional disc granulators, the CO-NELE intensive granulator has comprehensive advantages in product quality, production efficiency, operation cost and environmental protection, which fully meets the strict standards of deep well and ultra-deep well fracturing proppants:

| Comparison Item | CO-NELE Intensive Granulator | Traditional Disc Granulator |
|---|---|---|
| Pellet Roundness | ✓ ≥0.95, ultra-smooth surface | 0.85–0.90, irregular shape |
| Pellet Density & Strength | ✓ Bulk density ≥1.8 g/cm³, crush loss ≤5% (52 MPa), compact internal structure | Low density, high voidage, easy to break under high pressure |
| Production Mode | ✓ Fully sealed batch production, dust-free operation | Open-type operation, serious dust pollution |
| Automation Level | ✓ CO-NELE independent PLC intelligent control, adjustable rotor speed, drum tilt and automatic water spraying | Simple manual adjustment, poor parameter consistency |
| Wear Resistance & Service Life | ✓ Tungsten carbide (HRC 65) coated liner, blades and scrapers, service life 18–24 months | Ordinary liner, easy to wear, service life only 6–12 months |
| Production Cycle | ✓ 3–8 minutes per batch, high efficiency | 20–40 minutes per batch, low output efficiency |
