While pelletizing limestone has become common practice for the many advantages it can offer, the process requires careful engineering to ensure a consistently reliable, continuous operation with maximum on-size yield. A number of material characteristics come into play.ย The Limestone Pelletizing Process The most common …
In the ever-evolving catalyst industry, rotary drums stand out as indispensable equipment. These versatile machines are pivotal to various stages of the catalyst production process. More recently, they have also been employed in spent catalyst regeneration, improving both the sustainability and economics of catalytic reactions. …
The pin mixer is an industrial mixing solution ideal for mixing, conditioning, and agglomerating material fines in the presence of a binder. While the pugmill mixer (paddle mixer) is best suited for heavy-duty materials such as ores, the pin mixer excels in applications where extremely …
A rotary drum, be it a dryer, cooler, agglomerator, or otherwise, is a major investment and integral part of many industrial processing systems. From drying and cooling bulk solids before storage, to agglomerating ore fines in a heap leaching operation, the rotary drum often serves …
Disc pelletizer training is a commonly overlooked, but essential aspect to a successful pelletizing operation. Pelletizing material on a disc pelletizer is considered a blend of both art and science; a number of variables must be balanced to maintain consistent product throughput and produce an …
Drying plays a critical role in the agglomeration process. When used prior to agglomeration, drying prepares material feedstock for agglomerate formation, and has a direct effect on how material will perform during agglomeration. Used after agglomeration, drying cures pellets into their final, strong form. In …
The disc pelletizer, or pan granulator, is an ideal agglomeration solution when looking to create a uniform pellet product from dry or slightly moist materials. Producing a premium granular product, the disc pelletizer is favored among manufacturers producing everything from soil amendments to chemical products. …
When it comes to building a pelletizer plant, producers are often faced with the decision of choosing between a rotary drum agglomerator and a disc pelletizer (pan granulator). Though the choice may seem overwhelming at first, there are many things to take into account that …
Coating, typically carried out in aย coating drum, is a finishing process used prolifically throughout industries working with agglomerates to meet a wide variety of objectives. A surface treatment for particles, coating can enhance specific characteristics of a pellet, granule, or other agglomerate, be it a …
Choosing a binder is one of the most important aspects of the agitation agglomeration (wet granulation) process. With implications on both the process and end use, selecting the appropriate binder requires careful consideration and often testing to evaluate different options. As the leading expert in …
