Each year, we update FEECO.com with the information you need to help make your material testing, equipment selection, and aftermarket service searches a more successful endeavor.

As 2016 comes to a close, we’d like to highlight some of the advancements made to our corporate website. Read on to learn more.

Enhanced Equipment Pages

Each equipment page received a new look in 2016. The pages now feature more technical specs, a 3D image with labeled components, an applications and materials section, and project profiles, photos, brochures and related articles.

Material Pages

FEECO has worked with hundreds of materials throughout our 65+ year history. To provide more information our experience and capabilities with processing specific materials, we’ve created individual pages for some of the materials we work with on a regular basis.

The following materials now have their own dedicated page on FEECO.com:

Activated Carbon
Biosolids
Coal
Copper
Gypsum
Iron Ore
Limestone
Manure
Phosphates
Potash

Project Profiles

New project profiles have been added to give an inside look at some of our recent accomplishments:

Potash Rotary Dryers
Phosphate Rock Conditioning Drum
Coating Drum for Ammonium Sulfate
DAP/MAP Rotary Dryer
Bedding Recovery from Manure

Lab Profiles

While hundreds of materials have been tested and processed in the FEECO Innovation Center, there are many that we see on a frequent basis. For these, we’ve created testing profiles to give an overview on the various approaches and methods that can be used for each specific material. We’ve also created testing profiles around the many processes and equipment that can be utilized in the Innovation Center.
