This week’s highlighted resource is a project profile on a gold ore agglomeration drum. Agglomeration drums, also known as agglomerators, are frequently used in processing gold ore at heap leaching operations to improve heap permeability. In this specific instance, FEECO was commissioned to replace a …
This week’s resource highlights rotary drum girth gears. The gear on a rotary drum in a gear and pinion drive assembly setup is an integral component, providing both structural support and rotation. As such, worn gears should be replaced immediately to prevent damage from affecting …
While the heap leaching process has proven to be efficient and cost-effective, efficiency and ore recovery can be further improved through the addition of an agglomeration drum. The following covers an introduction to heap leaching, and how agglomeration greatly improves this essential beneficiation process. A …
The Copper Development Association expects to see seven million electric vehicles on US roads by 2025 – a substantial increase from today’s estimated 567,000. With the amount of copper in electric vehicles substantially more than what’s required in gas-powered cars, the group anticipates the electric …
As gold continues to be one of the most widely used precious metals, more and more companies are expanding their reach in the gold mining and processing industry. And as with any finite resource in a world of growing demand, reclaiming as much of this …
As the world leader in tumble growth agglomeration, FEECO provides a variety of services and equipment for iron ore pelletizer plants. As the needs of the steel industry change, one production component looks to be increasingly important in meeting the needs of the modern steel …
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: …
This week’s photo highlights FEECO’s floating tire design. The effects of thermal expansion are overcome by having tires of “free floating” construction. Shim plates and keeper bars are located so that the tires are supported away from the shell, minimizing thermal distortion and yet allowing …
This week’s highlighted resource is a project profile on copper ore drums. Agglomeration drums (aka copper ore drums) are used in the heap leaching process to agglomerate ore fines so that the leaching agent can more effectively percolate through the heap, maximizing metal recovery. FEECO …
There are many choices on the market when it comes to agglomeration equipment. Additionally, new uses are being developed all the time, making current equipment options increasingly flexible. Below, we’ve provided a quick overview of some of the most common types of agglomeration equipment. Click …
