A reversing shuttle conveyor is essentially a belt conveyor mounted onto a rail system, and offers numerous advantages to a bulk material handling system, including: A stationary inlet: the stationary feed chute allows for processed material to be directed to one central location. Reversible belt …
Rotary granulators are a flexible processing tool ideal for high capacity applications. Frequently used throughout the fertilizer and mining industries, rotary granulators are commonly employed in the following types of applications: Agglomeration involving chemical reactions where feed component(s) consist of reactive liquids or gases. The …
While some materials may be self-binding, in most cases, the right binder is vital to agglomeration success. In general, binders: Improve bonding forces and pellet durability. Help to achieve the appropriate wet strength and dry crush strength. Are inexpensive and readily available. …
Bucket elevators are an efficient means of transporting material from one location to another, though they do not necessarily come in a one-size-fits-all configuration. Due to their versatility in working with a wide range of materials and industries, bucket elevators must be specifically designed on …
Micro-pelletizing is the process of agglomerating material fines into small pellets. This differs from traditional pelletizing, in that it produces much smaller pellets, typically around 20-60 mesh. Pin mixers are the equipment of choice when it comes to micro-pelletizing; they can be used as a …
Advancing flights help move, or advance, the material into the rotary dryer to prevent buildup near the wet feed inlet. In addition, advancing flights allow the material to dry before it moves on to the next set of flights, a process that can help prevent sticking inside …
During the pursuit of an effective non-pressure agglomeration solution, the choice between a rotary drum and a disc pelletizer (also known as a pan granulator) often arises. To help determine the best equipment for your material and process, the following should be taken into consideration: …
Several signs indicate that a rotary drum is likely misaligned, including: Extensive tire/wheel wear Damage to the tire/wheel Pinion/girth gear wear Pinion/girth gear damage Extensive thrust roller wear Damage to the thrust roller Major contact between the drum and thrust rollers Auditory clues can also …
Screening is a process through which material or particles are segregated into groups based on their size. The undersize particles are segregated to one group, oversize particles in another, and on size yet another. Screening helps to ensure that feedstock is uniform and only material …
Pin mixers are industrial mixing devices used to condition, agglomerate, and mix bulk materials, and work most effectively with fine materials such as powders. They utilize an intense spinning motion, in the presence of a binder, to produce small, dense agglomerates. Rods, or “pins,” are …
