Extruded Activated Carbon Pellets

Extruded Activated Carbon Pellets

AC Pellets are a cylindrical form of activated carbon with pellet diameters typically ranging from 0.8 to 5 mm. They are normally formed by compressing wet mixtures of charcoal/activated carbon and suitable binder.

Owing to their uniform and large particle size, good hardness and very low dusting characteristics they are much more suitable in applications for withstanding high pressure drop, especially air/gas/vapour phase applications.

SHAKUN MINERALS PVT LTD provides AC pellets derived from 2 raw materials viz., coal and wood, each available in various sizes and standard as well as customizable properties. We have the capability to manufacture AC pellets through both steam activation and chemical activation routes. We also offer unwashed, water washed and acid washed grades with tailorable adsorption properties.
