The needs of a bulk solids handling operation can vary significantly and are often incredibly specific from one application to the next. As a result, customization has become a cornerstone of material handling systems, allowing belt conveyors to be expertly applied to any operation. The Continue reading →
This week’s highlighted resource is a project profile on pelletizing EAF dust. FEECO supplied several disc pelletizers and belt conveyors to a major US minerals recycler for pelletizing the byproduct Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAF) into a more usable form. Click here to view Continue reading →
Today’s photo highlights a pugmill mixer under production at FEECO. The pugmill mixer will be used in animal feed production. The large, stainless steel cover is a fume hood for the acid reaction that will take place in the mixer. A small pipe is installed Continue reading →
Activated carbon, sometimes called activated charcoal, is a unique adsorbent prized for its extremely porous structure that allows it to effectively capture and hold materials. Widely used throughout a number of industries to remove undesirable components from liquids or gases, activated carbon can be applied Continue reading →
A pugmill mixer, or paddle mixer, is a horizontal, continuous industrial mixer used in a variety of applications for processing bulk solids to achieve a range of objectives. These rugged mixing units are highly flexible and have become an essential tool in many processes. They Continue reading →
This week’s highlighted resource showcases our pelletizing webpage. Pelletizing is an essential agglomeration technique used in many industries to process powdered materials into round pellets that are easier to transport and handle, and are significantly less dusty.

Bed disturbers are used in both direct and indirect-fired rotary kilns to promote uniform heating of the material. The bed of material should roll, not slide, throughout the kiln in order to expose fresh material to the process. This rolling action allows for even heat Continue reading →
Material handling is an aspect of every industrial process that starts with the transportation of raw material from its original location and ends when the final product arrives at market. During the process, material handling equipment helps move raw and processed materials from one location Continue reading →
Pelletizing powdered limestone and gypsum materials provides significant value in terms of better handling characteristics, easier transportation, and improved application and performance. While the disc pelletizer has long been the standard for producing granular limestone and gypsum, the industry has found that the addition of Continue reading →
This week’s highlighted resource is a page on heap leaching. Heap leaching is an essential technology in mining used to extract metals from low-grade ore sources. This technology is known for its ease of operation and low capital expense. Click here to view the web Continue reading →
