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 processing → rotary dryer → double roller extrusion granulator → rotary screener → packaging machine. In this setup,

  • The drying system ensures the raw material moisture is reduced before granulation

  • double roller press granulator forms uniform pellets from carbon black

  • creening machine separates fines for recycling

  • and the packing system delivers clean products ready for sale

  • Supporting equipment such as conveyors, dust collectors, and a control system integrate the whole 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-fired hot air furnace, the dryer provides continuous heat flow, while the rotation ensures even contact between material and hot air. As a result, the pellets are conditioned for pressing and further packaging. Using a cyclone and bag filter prevents dust emission, which is critical in carbon black processing.

How to produce carbon black pellet into 3mm?

Roller press machine sheets for 3 mm fertilizer granules making

To produce 1–3 mm carbon black pellets, the double roller extrusion granulator plays the key role. The machine applies high pressure to form dense, dust-free pellets. Water is usually the only binder, so the pellets remain clean and safe for industrial use. After pressing, a rotary screener ensures that only pellets within ±10% of the target size move forward, while oversized or undersized fractions are crushed and returned to the system.

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

The investment for a 30,000 annual ton carbon black granulation plant is about $250,000 at EXW price levels. 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. 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.
