FEECO recommends an annual rotary drum inspection to help maintain efficiency, prolong equipment life, and prevent unnecessary downtime. Our Customer Service Engineers can visit your site directly, and thoroughly examine the following drum components: Drum shell Drum drive Drum tires and wheels Trunnion bases Thrust …
Indirect rotary kilns, or rotary calciners, offer three major advantages over their direct-fired counterparts, as outlined below. When processing in a direct-fired rotary kiln, fine materials can become entrained in the gas and carried out to the baghouse. An indirect kiln avoids this issue because …
FEECO manufactures two bucket elevator designs: centrifugal and continuous. They are built to move bulk materials vertically, and offer their own distinct advantages to the bulk handling operation at hand. Continuous bucket elevators are used for less vigorous bulk material handling applications. The slow speed …
Pelletizing on a pan pelletizer requires the help of a binding agent to achieve agglomeration. This is accomplished through the use of a spray system. The binding agent, and the way it is dispersed, plays a role in successful agglomeration. The following variables should be …
Organic combustion is the thermal treatment of organic wastes with the intent of reducing mass and volume. This process is frequently seen in waste treatment plants in order to reduce the volume of organic wastes for deposit into landfill. Organic combustion leaves behind an ash …
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 …
Limestone is a sedimentary rock used in the agricultural industry as a soil amendment for raising soil pH. Traditional products such as powdered and agricultural lime have been used throughout the industry, both not without challenges. Pelletizing lime has become an effective alternative. It is …
A pneumatic hammer knocking system is designed to control material build-up inside of a rotary drum. The hammer is mounted above a strike plate on the drum, and delivers an adjustable amount of force as set by the operator. This force “knocks” the drum and …
Reduction roasting is the removal of oxygen from a component of an ore, usually through the use of Carbon Monoxide (CO). The CO is typically supplied by mixing a carbonaceous material such as coke or coal with the ore, or by feeding it separately. An …
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 …
