While nickel is perhaps most commonly known for its use in coins, it is also an important material in many industrial processes. Nickel’s high melting point, ductility, and resistance to corrosion when alloyed lends itself to a wide range of industrial applications and materials, making …
An important consideration in rotary kiln design is air flow, or the direction in which the process gas moves through the kiln in relation to the material. The cross-flow configuration is specific to indirect-fired rotary kilns. Here, the material and the process gas flow perpendicular …
This weekโs photo shows a steep incline conveyor in 3D. FEECOโs steep incline conveyors are designed to move materials vertically, at angles ranging from 18-90 degrees, while still maintaining discharge and feed qualities of a standard belt conveyor. The advantages of FEECOโs design include: FEECOโs …

Drought is becoming a rising concern across the world as water scarcity, changing climate patterns, and the need to feed a growing population continue to dominate the landscape of pressing global issues. As such, the need for soils to be capable of withstanding drought conditions …
Todayโs photo highlights members of our drafting department, just years after FEECOโs founding. In the early 1950s, drafters positioned themselvesย at drawing boards and used pen or pencil to create equipment drawings by hand. As technology advanced through the years, drawing boards were eventually replaced with …
In 2015, the global fly ash market was estimated to be valued at 40 billion USD. A recent industry analysis by Research Nester anticipates the market will reach an estimated 70 billion USD by the end of 2023 – a 7.1% CAGR owing to increasing …
Zinc (Zn) is a micronutrient essential for healthy growth in plants, animals, and humans. In plants, zinc fosters proper growth and development and is recognized as closely tied to limited crop yields when not available in sufficient amounts. Furthermore, malnutrition as a result of zinc …
FEECOโs rotary dryers and kilns can accommodate numerous fuel sources: Natural Gas/Propane. Natural gas or propane is a fuel option for both direct and indirect rotary kilns and dryers. While it is typically available in the developed world, there any many areas in the world where …
The solvent extraction electro-winning process (SX-EW) is a hydrometallurgical means of extracting, purifying, and concentrating metals. SX-EW has continued to demonstrate successful use in effectively extracting and recovering copper from low grade and oxide ores. As a result, SX-EW has quickly become a staple in …
