The ability to control the sizing of bulk solids has become a critical aspect to the success of many processes and products, allowing for more efficient processing, more predictable results, and ultimately a better end product. Agglomeration offers the unique opportunity to fine-tune particle size …
A pin mixer can be an incredibly valuable tool in a limestone pelletizing system, offering several benefits to both the process and the product. Made up of Calcium Carbonate and typically crushed prior to use, limestone intended for use as a soil amendment is processed …
When producers choose to agglomerate powdered bulk solids, they can gain a number of benefits, many of which contribute to improved economics of the operation as a whole – from a cleaner production environment, to improved product performance, and more. One often-forgotten aspect of managing …
As society continues to move toward more sustainable waste management methods, an alternative technique for handling EAF dust has been gaining interest: EAF dust recycling via reduction roasting. The Problem with EAF Dust EAF dust is a by-product of the steel production process, and refers …
Precipitated calcium carbonate is a byproduct of the sugar industry, produced during the purification of sugar from beets. This waste has long presented a management problem for sugar producers. As many are discovering, however, by pelletizing precipitated calcium carbonate, they are able to recover value …
Pelletizing is a valuable tool in managing the properties of bulk solids. From flowability to bulk density and so much more, pelletizing gives producers in nearly every industry a way to control the handling and performance characteristics of their bulk solids. And while pelletizing provides …
An effective maintenance program is indispensable to sustaining an efficient, productive limestone pelletizing operation. While maintenance is often overlooked, it should always be incorporated as part of a facility’s regular operation procedures. Limestone pelletizer plant maintenance ensures equipment reliability, preserves a safe work environment, and …
With a host of benefits, disc pelletizers (also known as pan granulators) are increasingly being used in industries ranging from chemicals to minerals, but they can seem problematic if operators aren’t familiar with the underlying principles of agitation agglomeration and how the disc pelletizer works. …
In the world of agitation agglomeration equipment, the disc pelletizer (sometimes also called a pan granulator) is often chosen for its ability to create a refined product. It is widely used to process everything from chemical powders, fly ash, and soil amendments, to minerals and …
Pelletizing is a type of agitation agglomeration used across industries to convert fine powder materials into granular products. The practice offers a number of benefits, and as a result, continues to be employed in a growing number of applications ranging from minerals to specialty chemicals. …
