Continuous mixers play a vital role in a wide array of industrial process settings, de-dusting materials, promoting product uniformity, streamlining downstream processes, and so much more. And while the capabilities of a continuous mixer are many, so too are the number of manufacturers offering these …
When producers choose to agglomerate powdered bulk solids, they can gain a number of benefits, many of which contribute to improved economics of the operation as a whole – from a cleaner production environment, to improved product performance, and more. One often-forgotten aspect of managing …
Pelletizing is a valuable tool in managing the properties of bulk solids. From flowability to bulk density and so much more, pelletizing gives producers in nearly every industry a way to control the handling and performance characteristics of their bulk solids. And while pelletizing provides …
Smelting is a pyrometallurgical process that uses thermal processing techniques to purify copper through chemical reactions. And while most focus is given to the furnaces involved in this process, one piece of equipment has not only helped to increase the efficiency of copper smelting, but …
A pugmill mixer, also known as a pug mill or paddle mixer, is a type of horizontal, continuous mixer used throughout a variety of industries to combine solid and liquid feed components into a homogeneous mixture. Pugmill mixers are chosen for especially demanding settings in …
Conditioning refers to the processing of bulk solids material for improved efficiency of downstream processing, improved material handling, or to improve product performance. Conditioning can be accomplished using numerous processes and equipment, all varying on the unique characteristics of the material to be processed and …
Pre-conditioning, or preparing material for agglomeration, is critical to agglomeration success; it can help improve further processing, and create a more refined end product. FEECO offers the following pre-conditioning equipment: Rotary Dryer. A material must fall within a set moisture range to agglomerate effectively. Materials …
Pugmill mixers are a type of continuous mixer used throughout several industries to accomplish agglomeration, mixing, and conditioning of bulk solids. They have become a critical processing device in a number of industrial settings, granulating organic materials, conditioning sludge and ash by-products for disposal, and …
