On 16th February 2025, a customer from Iran inquired about new carbon black granulation plant setup. He required a I am seeking a system capable of pelletizing carbon black with drying first. At the same time, it can create uniform, dust-free 3 mm pellets suitable for industrial applications. For this, we recommend him the roller press granulation line with 5 T/H capacity. The following are the specific details of our communication in this case:

What is the layout of a 30000 annual carbon black granulation plant?

The Iran carbon black pellet manufacturer required drying before granulation. So, the layout of a standard 30,000 t/y carbon black granulation plant adopt double roller granulation system. The main carbon black granulation process flow contains 5 parts. Carbon black powder making→ rotary dryer → double roller extrusion granulator → rotary screener → packaging machine. In this setup,

  • Using rotary drying system ensures the black carbon material moisture is reduced before granulation.

  • The double roller granulator press dried powder black carbon into 3 mm uniform pellets.

  • Next, the rotary screening machine separates small and large black carbon particles for recycling.

  • Finally, the packing system divided finished granular carbon black into required quantitation for sale.

Additionally, there are also supporting equipment such as conveyors, dust collectors, and a control system integrate the whole carbon black granules making line.

Can the rotary dryer dry carbon black to 5% moisture?

Yes, the rotary drum dryer is designed to bring down the moisture from about 30% to nearly 5%.

With a reliable gas burner and hot air furnace, the dryer provides continuous heat flow of more 300 ℃. At the same time, the drum rotation ensures the hot air evenly dry carbon black powder. Therefore, you can dry carbon black in a short time for industrial carbon black granulation.

How to produce carbon black pellet into 3mm?

For the final size of carbon black pellet making, the Iran customer required 2-3 mm. For this, there are 2 aspects you must pay attention to.

  • Buy roller extrusion machine with 3 mm sockets

    In double roller granulation of carbon black, the final pellet size is depended on the socket size on roller sheets. Here, YUSHUNXIN can offer you roller with socket of 3-10 mm. Moreover, you can easily buy it locally when you need to replace the wearing spare.

  • Sieving out 3 mm size black carbon pellets

    Additionally, the rotary screener also can help you a lot. The machine ensures that only pellets within ±10% of the target size move forward, while oversized or undersized fractions are crushed and returned to the carbon black granulation system.

How long does it take to get back the carbon black granulation plant investment?

When you estimate the time of a black carbon pellet making plant, you need to know the equipment cost. Buy it for YUSHUNXIN, The investment for a 30,000 annual ton carbon black granulation plant is about EXW $250,000. The details are as follows:

Equipment Capacity (t/h) Power Quantity Quote
Carbon black crusher 4-6 15 2 $15,000
Rotary drying system 4-6 15 $64,500
Roller press granulator 2.5-3 22 2 $60,000
Rotary creener 5-8 5.5 2 $11,600
Single packing machine 4-6 bag/min 1 $18,000
Dust collector cyclone, water and fan 3 $9,600
Belt conveyor 10,12 m 6-8 $16,000
PLC controller 1 $8,000
Total (EXW) $202,700

With raw material sourced locally, production costs stay near $250–300 per ton. Market selling prices average between $400–600 per ton, giving a margin of $120–250. At full capacity, annual net profit can reach $3.6–7.5 million. However, during carbon black granulation plant opetation, there are also expense on area, energy consumption, labor force, etc. Therefore, the payback period is often only 1–2 years, which makes the carbon black granulation plant not just a production solution but also a highly profitable investment opportunity.

The above are details about our communication with the customer about 30000 annual carbon black granulation plant. Also, we also provide you with compost granulation plan, SSP pellet making system, NPK granule production solutions, etc for you. Welcome to get your own fertilizer business plan now!
