A sieve analysis measures particle size distribution, and more specifically, what percentage of on-size, over-size and under-size pellets are produced from the agglomeration process. The analysis is an important part of agglomerate process and product development, as it confirms whether or not the agglomeration process …
This week’s photo shows coal fines (left) and coal pellets (right). The sample was agglomerated in FEECO’s state-of-the-art Innovation Center. The Innovation Center allows customers to test their material at batch and pilot scale, in order to establish the equipment setup and parameters necessary to …
This week’s photo shows Alex Ebben, FEECO Process Sales Engineer, at the Phosphates 2017 International Conference and Exhibition in Tampa, Florida (USA). Phosphates 2017 is a must-see for those in the fertilizer, industrial and feed phosphate markets, and unites over 400 professionals from around the …
This week’s photo is a compactor from the FEECO Innovation Center. Here, a heat lamp is set directly on the compactor’s feed chute, so the metal of the cold chute would not take away the heat from the pre-heated feed material. FEECO’s process experts are …
Today’s photo highlights a girth gear (left) and gear lubrication nozzle (right), both components of a rotary drum. The gear drive assembly is mounted on the outside of the shell circumference. It meshes with a small gear drive, and causes the rotary drum to rotate. …

FEECO offers a variety of agglomeration equipment, with each equipment falling in either the non-pressure (tumble growth) or pressure categories. Non-pressure agglomeration techniques use a binding agent to process material fines into larger agglomerates. This is done by tumbling the fines in the presence of …
This week’s photo highlights a rotary dryer combustion chamber from FEECO’s Fabrication Facility. In regards to rotary dryer components, the combustion chamber houses the combustion reaction. From here, the drying air is directed through the rotary drum. FEECO offers a variety of combustion chambers including …
Customer: Multiple, Proprietary Plant Location: Domestic and International Industry: Power Generation, Pulp and Paper Major Equipment: (90+) Pin Mixers Material Handled: Coal Fines, Dust Engineer: FEECO International, Inc. Process: If sufficiently aerated, coal fines are combustible, making de-dusting a top priority when working with coal …
In the copper production via smelting process, pugmill mixers are used for mixing and conditioning. Pug mills are highly proficient at combining both solid and liquid feeds into a homogenous mixture, and are therefore an ideal mixing device in the smelting process. Numerous components are …
