This week’s photo of the week shows a FEECO rotary ore agglomerator as it travels down a road in Northeast Wisconsin.

The drum, which weighed in at 226,000 lbs., and traveled on a 210 ft. long, 19 ft. wide trailer, was one of three that shipped from Northeast Wisconsin all the way to Africa.

Rotary agglomeration drums are used in the heap leaching process to agglomerate ore fines to increase leach efficiency.

FEECO has been manufacturing agglomeration drums for over 60 years. To learn more about agglomeration drums, contact us today!
