This week’s photo is a micro-compactor, a type of pressure agglomeration equipment used for compaction granulation feasibility studies. Micro-compactors are regularly utilized in FEECO’s lab for testing purposes. Compared to a full-size compactor, micro-compactors are capable of processing an extensive range of materials in small …
This week, the FEECO website saw several new additions of exciting content: an agglomeration e-book and a 3D calciner image. The Agglomeration Handbook The Agglomeration Handbook is a comprehensive e-book surrounding the topics of tumble-growth and pressure agglomeration, and includes everything from equipment selection to …
Organics granulation is a sustainable way to aid in nutrient management and the prevention of run-off. It is particularly beneficial to the agriculture industry, because it transforms a waste that would otherwise incur waste management costs and potentially result in harmful run-off due to over …
This week, the FEECO website saw many new additions of exciting content. We’ve been producing 3D diagrams to give customers a better understanding of the equipment they’re interested in, as well as the quality and craftsmanship that goes into FEECO’s work. Advanced technologies are a …
The installation of a new rotary drum, be it a dryer, cooler, agglomerator, or otherwise, requires careful consideration. To ensure your drum is properly installed, take a look at the following guidelines: Have a Service Technician on Site A service technician from the manufacturer should …
This week’s photo shows pellets inside of a rotary dryer. The image was taken at FEECO’s lab testing center, where dryers are often used both prior to and post agglomeration processing. Feedstock must be within an ideal moisture range in order for agglomeration to occur. …
FEECO was founded in 1951 to serve the fertilizer industry with enhanced equipment and process solutions. Since then, we’ve become experts in both organic and inorganic fertilizer granulation technology, custom designing and manufacturing single pieces of equipment in addition to complete turnkey systems. From NPK …
Microscopes help assess the material feed, end-product characteristics, and everything in between when it comes to the agglomeration lab testing process. Microscopes can reveal a material’s minute details – details that the naked eye is incapable of seeing without magnification. Microscopes are especially beneficial in …
Our photo this week shows an organic material that has been granulated into a more usable form. The opportunity for granulating organic waste materials into organic-based fertilizer products has been an increasingly popular topic, as the need to manage wastes in a sustainable way becomes …
Pelletizing and compaction are both very different methods of agglomeration. While the pelletizing process is a form of tumble growth agglomeration, the compaction process is a form of pressure agglomeration. Pelletizing is also different from compaction in that it is considered a “wet” process, meaning …
