Today’s photo highlights various pellet samples produced in the FEECO Innovation Center. The Innovation Center offers pelletization test work to transform raw material fines or dusts into round, spherical pellets as outlined in today’s featured photo. Test work is designed around each customer’s unique …
In the early stages of designing and developing a pelletizing plant, many questions often arise: what equipment will best suit my process; do I need a binder; how tall will my building have to be, and more. While this process prompts a host of questions, …
When looking to agglomerate material, many options are available. Agglomeration equipment manufacturers often specialize in a particular industry, type of agglomeration equipment, or category of agglomeration solutions. As the capabilities, offerings, and experience of each manufacturer vary significantly, finding the right agglomeration equipment provider requires …
Agglomeration (particle size enlargement) is widely used throughout the agriculture industry to minimize dust, improve handling and transportation characteristics, and enhance product performance – among other things. The practice offers benefits to everything from fertilizers and soil amendments, to animal feed products, and even pesticides. …
Pelletizing is a non-pressure (tumble growth) agglomeration method whereby material fines are processed into pellets. It is used throughout a number of industries to transform difficult to handle powders and fines into a more easily handled, and valuable product. Pelletization involves the tumbling of material …
Variable Frequency Drives, or VFDs, are not a new technology, but only in recent decades have advancements in the field lowered many of the barriers associated with widespread VFD use, allowing their application in a range of settings. A recent market study anticipates that the …
This week’s photo takes us back to 1966 where 3 disc pelletizers are being finalized in FEECO’s Fabrication Facility. Disc pelletizers, also known as pan granulators, offer a unique advantage in the world of tumble growth agglomeration, and have found their way into many industries …
Coal, a combustible, sedimentary rock, has been used for centuries as a reliable energy source. Despite growing renewable energy sources, coal is still the backbone of the world’s energy grid, providing the electricity we need to turn on lights, heat our homes, and cook our …
The spray system on a disc pelletizer is critical to the success of the overall agglomeration process. The spray system dispenses the binding agent onto the material fines as the disc rotates. If not properly maintained, product quality can be easily affected, and process upsets …
The disc pelletizer, or pan granulator, is an ideal agglomeration solution when looking to create a uniform pellet product from dry or slightly moist materials. Producing a premium granular product, the disc pelletizer is favored among manufacturers producing everything from soil amendments to chemical products. …
