Drying plays an important role in the non-pressure agglomeration process, both before and after agglomeration. Pre-Drying Drying is often used as a method of pre-conditioning material before pelletization, to help prepare the material for agglomeration. Since moisture is added during the agglomeration process (in the …
Each week on our home page, we feature three articles that are highly relevant under the current market circumstances. This week, we’re highlighting: A Look at World Potash Production A Look at World Potash Production looks at the top potash-producing nations around the world, as …
Bucket elevators are available in a wide range of sizes. And while any size bucket elevator can vertically transport material, optimizing the size of the elevator for its intended application is the key to reducing the overall size and cost of the unit while ensuring …
Catalysts have become a cornerstone of modern industrial processing, bringing otherwise-out-of-reach processes into the realm of practicality, maximizing the efficiency of reactions, and promoting more sustainable industrial processes; the extent to which catalysts impact modern industry are nearly immeasurable. The effectiveness of any catalyst rests …
Our photo this week shows a rotary ore agglomerator preparing for shipment. The drum, weighing in at around 55 Tons, is being lifted by a crane onto a base while it awaits shipment. Ore agglomerators are used in heap leaching processes around the world for …

Limestone and gypsum are regularly pelletized for use as soil amendments and other products. Unbeknownst to many, however, limestone and gypsum respond so readily to agglomeration, that they are often employed as an additive in the pelletizing (agitation agglomeration) process when working with hard-to-agglomerate materials. …
Gypsum, chemically known as calcium sulfate (CaSO4), is well established as an effective soil amendment for treating clay soils, improving water filtration, providing a source of calcium, and more. More recently, however, gypsum is being recognized for its ability to also provide crops with a …
Micro-pelletizing is the process of agglomerating material fines into small pellets, or micro-pellets, from 20-60 mesh. It is can be carried out in either pin mixer, or a pin mixer/pan pelletizer setup. Pin mixers alone are ideal when only small pellets or material conditioning is …
Modern potash processing is a relatively succinct practice, with today’s leading manufacturers boasting decades of experience generating quality potash products. However, the potash industry actually got its start using a very different process altogether. From its early days as a by-product of burned wood, to …
