ABSTRACT:
A new and improved media granulation apparatus includes a cyclone chamber assembly which includes an outer wall, a plurality of vortex controller assemblies connected to the outer wall, and an inner wall. A first conduit is connected to the inlet of the cyclone chamber assembly. A blower assembly is connected to the first conduit, for creating a cyclone flow within the cyclone chamber assembly, and a media feed assembly is connected to the first conduit for supplying media to be ground to the cyclone chamber assembly. The respective vortex controller assemblies include a vortex control element which is substantially cylindrical, e.g. D-shaped, in cross-section and a pivot for connecting one end of the vortex control element to the outer wall. A slot-riding connector is connected to the vortex control element for riding in an arced slot in the outer wall. The vortex control element can be selectively tilted around the pivot allowing the slot-riding connector to ride in the arced slot for controlling an angular orientation of the vortex control element within the cyclone chamber assembly, such that, by controlling the angular orientation of the vortex control element within the cyclone chamber assembly, granulation time of media in the cyclone chamber assembly is controlled. An auger feeder assembly is connected to a feed conduit for moving media from a hopper into the cyclone chamber assembly.
