At FEECO, we continually strive to create a blog rich in content, that is, rich with the information our readers need most. This year was no exception; we’ve produced more in-depth content, more often, and have made such content more easily accessible.
Here are some advancements the FEECO blog saw in 2015:
Author Pages
To become more familiar with the faces of FEECO, we’ve added author photos and biographies to each published blog. Here, you’ll meet our Process Sales Engineers, Process Technicians and Service Engineers- all whom we refer to as the FEECO Experts. We invite you to get to know our team, and how they can help you.
New Content Alerts
While the blog is home to much of our content, we also added resources to many other pages on the website. Thus, new content alerts were published on the blog to inform our readers of the latest information available elsewhere on FEECO.com.
3D Images
Our in-house design team has produced 3D images to give our customers a more thorough understanding of the equipment they are interested in, as well as the quality craftsmanship that goes into FEECO’s work. Many of the images are incorporated in the blog posts, but can also be seen on their designated equipment pages: rotary drum dryers, rotary kilns, rotary calciners, disc pelletizers, pin mixers, paddle mixers/pugmill mixers, bucket elevators, shuttle conveyors, hammer mills.
A disc pelletizer, one of our many 3D images, is shown below.
E-Books
An Agglomeration E-book was created to give our readers a one-stop shop on the subject. This comprehensive resource focuses on tumble growth and pressure agglomeration techniques, and also examines methods, processing considerations, and equipment for both types. To download a free copy, click here.
Furthermore, the second edition of our Rotary Dryer E-book was released with supplementary, in-depth details, quality diagrams, and more. Stay tuned for updated e-books as we head into the New Year.
Question of the Week
FEECO is proud to say we’ve expanded our content with the addition of a Question of the Week. Each Wednesday, we publish a commonly asked question and answer on the blog to help our readers better understand FEECO’s equipment and services. A broad range of topics have been covered, including equipment operation, material testing, service and maintenance.
A Question of the Week will continue to be published in 2016. In the meantime, take a look at this past year’s top questions:
Why are rotary dryers the equipment of choice in frac sand drying?
What’s the difference between a rotary dryer and a rotary kiln?
Why are flights used in a rotary dryer?
How does a compactor work?
