- Atomized Aluminum Powder
- Scrap Aluminum
- Alumina
- Bauxite
MATERIAL PROCESSING
Pelletizing
It is often desirable to agglomerate aluminum into a more workable product. FEECO offers a variety of equipment and systems for this purpose, including disc pelletizers and pin mixers, as well as complete aluminum pelletizing systems.
Decoating Kilns
In addition to our agglomeration equipment, we offer decoating kilns for use in the aluminum scrap decoating process.
Rotary Dryers & Coolers
We can also provide heavy-duty rotary dryers and coolers for processing aluminum materials.
BULK MATERIAL HANDLING
FEECO also provides a comprehensive line of bulk material handling equipment for all of your aluminum handling needs. We offer custom bucket elevators, belt conveyors, reversing shuttle conveyors, and steep incline conveyors, along with pieces to increase the flexibility of your handling system, such as belt trippers and plows, and belt feeders.
We can supply a single piece of handling equipment to fit into your existing process, or a complete bulk handling system as part of an overall process solution.
PLANT AND PILOT SCALE PROCESS TESTING AND DESIGN
The FEECO Innovation Center is a unique testing facility where we can test your material at both batch and pilot scale in order to work out process variables and design commercial-scale units, as well as scale up the process.
The FEECO Innovation Center is well-equipped to suit a wide range of testing needs, including pelletizing, compaction, drying, and decoating. We can test on a single piece of equipment, or a continuous process loop.
We offer comprehensive testing services in four categories:
Feasibility/Proof of Concept: An initial, non-witnessed batch testing phase in which the possibility of creating a product is explored.
Proof of Product: A more in-depth batch testing phase in which more time is spent determining whether a product can be made to desired specifications.
Proof of Process: A continuous testing phase that aims to establish the equipment setup and parameters required for continuous production of your specific material.
Process/Product Optimization: An in-depth study to optimize your specific material’s characteristics and/or production parameters in an industrial setting.
