  • Customer: Encap
  • Plant Location: Green Bay, WI
  • Industry: Lawn & Garden
  • Major Equipment: A complete system including a pin mixer, rotary granulator, rotary dryer, and the necessary material handling equipment.
  • Material Handled: Waste Paper Sludge
  • Engineer: FEECO International, Inc.
  • Process: FEECO engineered a process to take Encap from idea to full-scale production.

    Encap had the idea to use the short fibers in waste paper sludge left over from the recycling process as a mulch in lawn and garden products. Through testing in the Innovation Center, FEECO developed a process to transform the short fibers into a full line of premium lawn and garden products, including an encapsulated seed product.

    The process involved agglomerating the short fibers, along with Encap’s proprietary technology, into a uniform product. Once the process was worked out at batch and pilot scale, FEECO manufactured the custom equipment needed and helped to engineer and build a full-scale production facility.

    The project was highly successful and remains in operation today. FEECO continues to be a resource to Encap for further process and product development endeavors.
