In the paper the fragmentation process with air of fused fluxes is studied by means of a particular treatment of the interaction process between the air and flux fluids starting from physical and mathematical considerations of the collision phenomenon which are the result of the application of Newton's mechanics-classical theory. In the paper is schematized the impact and change of trajectory process of the incandescent fused flux flow because of the air mechanical action provided by a blowpipe and the equations referred to the interaction between the fluids are set. As a result, the equations for estimating the exit angle and the average velocities of the pellets formed are determined whenever the interacting air and flux fluxes are known as well as the incidence angles. From the theory developed the essential parameters of the granulation process with air of fused fluxes, by considering the average diameter of the particles to be obtained for their industrial performance can be estimated.
