The pin mixer is a horizontal, medium-shear industrial mixer used in a wide variety of settings. It is most well known for its ability to densify and de-dust; from chemical processing to energy production, it is the equipment of choice when pelletizing or agglomerating ultra-fine …
Each week on our home page, we feature three articles that are highly relevant under the current market circumstances. This week, we’re highlighting: Rotary Kiln Applications in the Pigment Industry Rotary Kiln Applications in the Pigment Industry looks at the role rotary kilns play in …
The objective shared by incline conveyors and steep incline conveyors – to convey bulk solids on an incline – often presents confusion in determining which type of conveyor is best for a given application. While both offer an effective handling solution, these two conveyor types …
Bentonite clay, with its extraordinary properties, is one of the most important clay minerals in modern industry. The clay has become a mainstay not only in the products industries and consumers rely on, but the processes as well, lending its diverse qualities to each and …
Pelletizing on a pan pelletizer requires the help of a binding agent to achieve agglomeration. This is accomplished through the use of a spray system. The binding agent, and the way it is dispersed, plays a role in successful agglomeration. The following variables should be …
Fertilizer and soil amendment products have had a long evolution in terms of quality. At the start of modern agriculture, growers had few options – most of them not ideal. But advanced manufacturing methods, coupled with a greater understanding of nutrient and particle performance, has …
Each week on our home page, we feature three articles that are highly relevant under the current market circumstances. This week, we’re highlighting: Belt Trippers vs. Belt Plows Belt Trippers vs. Belt Plows looks at the differences between these two conveyor add-ons, both of which …
As the driving power behind a troughed belt conveyor, the drive assembly is a critical component in a conveyor’s ability to perform reliably and efficiently in the long term. Also known as the drive arrangement, the drive assembly is what supplies the torque to create …
As one of the primary macronutrients, potassium’s role in meeting global nutrition and food security needs cannot be understated. As the industry continues to adapt to meet the evolving demands of the global population, a few trends have come to the forefront in recent years. …
This week’s image highlights a counter-current rotary dryer in 3D. In counter-current dryers, material flows in the opposite direction as the drying air. Here, the wettest material comes in contact with the coolest drying air. The counter current design provides increased thermal efficiency for materials …
