Each week on our home page, we feature three articles that are highly relevant under the current market circumstances. This week, we’re highlighting: Considerations in Disc Pelletizer Sizing & Design Considerations in Disc Pelletizer Sizing & Design looks at the process of sizing and designing Continue reading →
Quality fabrication is one of the most influential factors in maximizing the life of a rotary drum, whether it is a rotary dryer, cooler, kiln, or granulator. One critical aspect of drum fabrication is the concentricity of the drum and its supporting tires (riding rings). Continue reading →
The Fraser Institute has released data from their annual survey ranking the most (and least) attractive mining jurisdictions for 2020. The survey assessed 77 jurisdictions against an overall Investment Attractiveness Index, which combines a variety of criteria to determine how factors such as policy, taxation, Continue reading →
Simply stated, hygroscopic materials absorb moisture, whereas hydrophobic materials do not absorb moisture from the environment. Knowing which category a material falls under plays an important role in our work in the Innovation Center; it affects the way in which a material is both stored Continue reading →
When it comes to vertically conveying bulk solids, the bucket elevator is unmatched in its capabilities. This diverse, high-capacity machine has become an essential tool at plants handling everything from fertilizers and minerals, to specialty chemicals and aggregates. The criticality of the bucket elevator is Continue reading →
Each week on our home page, we feature three articles that are highly relevant under the current market circumstances. This week, we’re highlighting: Processing of Nickel Laterite Ores on the Rise Processing of Nickel Laterite Ores on the Rise looks at the growing use of Continue reading →
Scrubbing is an integral washing step employed in the beneficiation of many types of ores and minerals, helping to remove contaminants and gangue and ultimately improve recovery of the target material. While a variety of equipment types exist for scrubbing ore, the rotary scrubber offers Continue reading →
Despite the hit the electric vehicle (EV) market took from the pandemic, the transition to electric vehicles from internal combustion engines (ICE) is again gaining strength, and a number of metals are benefiting. Here’s a look at what’s driving the EV market and how this Continue reading →
This week’s photo shows four distinct potash samples that were agglomerated in the FEECO Innovation Center. Each sample varies in color, depending on both mining location and binder used during processing. Potash is commonly mined in Canada and parts of the United States, with colors Continue reading →
The flow properties of a bulk solid can have a significant impact on process efficiency and the success of the end product. And while bins, hoppers, and the like are often designed to minimize such issues, agglomeration can be a valuable tool in improving the Continue reading →
