Non-pressure agglomeration, also known as tumble growth agglomeration, is a process which uses a tumbling motion and binding agent to grow material fines or powders into a spherical pellet form. Non-pressure agglomeration methods include: Moisture must be either be present in the feed material or …
Pelletizer plant process audits provide a valuable tool to plant managers struggling with changes in production, under-performance, yield, and more; even for those pelletizing plants performing well, a process audit can reveal inefficiencies that when corrected, can significantly add to the bottom line. The following …
Disc pelletizers, also commonly called pan granulators, are a type of agitation (tumble-growth/non-pressure/wet granulation) agglomeration equipment used throughout various industries to pelletize fines into rounded granules. These diverse pelletizing discs are often selected for the refined granular product they produce, their low recycle rate, and …
Today’s photo highlights various pellet samples produced in the FEECO Innovation Center. The Innovation Center offers pelletization test work to transform raw material fines or dusts into round, spherical pellets as outlined in today’s featured photo. Test work is designed around each customer’s unique …
In the early stages of designing and developing a pelletizing plant, many questions often arise: what equipment will best suit my process; do I need a binder; how tall will my building have to be, and more. While this process prompts a host of questions, …
When looking to agglomerate material, many options are available. Agglomeration equipment manufacturers often specialize in a particular industry, type of agglomeration equipment, or category of agglomeration solutions. As the capabilities, offerings, and experience of each manufacturer vary significantly, finding the right agglomeration equipment provider requires …
Agglomeration (particle size enlargement) is widely used throughout the agriculture industry to minimize dust, improve handling and transportation characteristics, and enhance product performance – among other things. The practice offers benefits to everything from fertilizers and soil amendments, to animal feed products, and even pesticides. …
Pelletizing is a non-pressure (tumble growth) agglomeration method whereby material fines are processed into pellets. It is used throughout a number of industries to transform difficult to handle powders and fines into a more easily handled, and valuable product. Pelletization involves the tumbling of material …
Variable Frequency Drives, or VFDs, are not a new technology, but only in recent decades have advancements in the field lowered many of the barriers associated with widespread VFD use, allowing their application in a range of settings. A recent market study anticipates that the …
This week’s photo takes us back to 1966 where 3 disc pelletizers are being finalized in FEECO’s Fabrication Facility. Disc pelletizers, also known as pan granulators, offer a unique advantage in the world of tumble growth agglomeration, and have found their way into many industries …
