Pelletizing processes are used in various industries to agglomerate fine materials. Investigation of this process is important for optimizing corresponding equipment and machines. In this article the particle-based discrete element method is used to simulate the particle behavior of a dry material on an inclined rotating disc (pelletizing disc). The process is modelled in different rotation regimes and by varying the inclination angle of the disc. Qualitative model verification is performed by a comparison of numerical simulations with experimental data. Contact data is used to analyze the flow mode of the simulated material and for detecting critical rotation speeds.
