The FEECO pin mixer offers a preventive approach to managing coal dust. Despite efforts to move away from fossil fuels, coal is still an important energy source and will likely continue to remain so well into the future. Unfortunately, with coal comes coal dust – …
The pin mixer is a horizontal, medium-shear industrial mixer used in a wide variety of settings. It is most well known for its ability to densify and de-dust; from chemical processing to energy production, it is the equipment of choice when pelletizing or agglomerating ultra-fine …
Carbon-based materials are an essential component in our everyday lives, from the fuel heating our homes, to the tires on our cars, and even in plastics; carbon as an industrial material is all around us. Carbon materials exist and are produced in a wide array …
Conditioning is an important part in bulk solids processing, allowing producers to alter the material to fit their unique needs. While there are many reasons to condition a material, three central objectives are highlighted below. To improve the efficiency of the process. Conditioning a material …
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. …
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 …
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 …
Pin mixers are used in a variety of industrial settings to mix, condition, and agglomerate materials, as well as to prepare them for pelletizing. No matter what setting they are in, or what objective they are performing, optimizing pin mixer performance and promoting equipment longevity …
