Abstract

A method of manufacturing encapsulated superhard material includes the steps of providing a source of superhard material, providing a mixture comprising an appropriate binder, a solvent or fluid medium and the intended coating or encapsulating layer, combining the superhard material and the mixture in a shovel rotor, the shovel rotor having a vessel including a rotor, the vessel adapted to receive a stream of gas. The rotor is rotated at an appropriate velocity such that the superhard material is encapsulated by the mixture.
