Rotary drum alignment is a critical factor in maintaining the long-term performance and reliability of industrial rotary equipmentโwhether it’s a dryer, kiln, cooler, or agglomerator. Misalignment is one of the most common and potentially damaging issues encountered in drum operation. And while it may begin …
When it comes to industrial drying, few systems offer the versatility and scalability of the rotary dryer. But the performance of a rotary dryer is only as reliable as the engineering, design, and construction behind itโmaking the choice of rotary dryer manufacturer a critical decision …
The tire mounting assembly on a rotary drum, whether a dryer, cooler, kiln, or otherwise, goes far beyond a mechanical interface; it ensures proper drum shell support, minimizes wear, and safeguards the equipmentโs long-term service life.ย ย Over the past several decades, mounting technology has evolved, …
Updates in Mining A Critical Minerals Stockpile (Project Vault) In partnership with the White House, the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) announced the launch of Project Vault, a $12 billion public-private initiative establishing the U.S. Strategic Critical Minerals Reserve to strengthen domestic supply …
Agglomeration is emerging as a valuable complement to flotation in modern spodumene processing operations. As lithium demand drives the development of lower-grade and more complex deposits, the finer concentrate produced from flotation streams can challenge downstream calcination. The conversion of ฮฑ-spodumene to ฮฒ-spodumene requires consistent …
As the mining industry continues to develop critical mineral resources, a new lithium extraction technique could be key to feeding the insatiable demand for the lightweight metal, while minimizing environmental impact. Direct lithium extraction (DLE), though still limited in commercial use, is emerging as a …
Research and development work around carbon capture has been on the rise, particularly when it comes to sorbents – the materials tasked with extracting CO2 in a range of advancing carbon capture applications. As companies work to scale this decarbonization technology, facilities such as the …
Updates in Mining S&P Global Warns of Copper Deficit A new report from S&P Global finds that global demand for copper will increase 50% by 2040, driven by several factors, including the energy transition, economic demand, artificial intelligence (AI), and defense modernization. Without substantial investment, …
Bucket elevators are used throughout a variety of industries to transport bulk solids to varying heights while requiring only a minimal footprint. They have become a necessity at mineral processing facilities, fertilizer plants, recycling operations, and more. The flexibility and diverse capabilities of the bucket …
While countless hours go into developing a process, engineering the right equipment, and selecting the best vendors, one often-overlooked but critical aspect of a successful production line is the recycle loop, particularly when it comes to processing bulk solids. A bulk solids plant is not …
