Coal, a combustible, sedimentary rock, has been used for centuries as a reliable energy source. Despite growing renewable energy sources, coal is still the backbone of the world’s energy grid, providing the electricity we need to turn on lights, heat our homes, and cook our …
The spray system on a disc pelletizer is critical to the success of the overall agglomeration process. The spray system dispenses the binding agent onto the material fines as the disc rotates. If not properly maintained, product quality can be easily affected, and process upsets …
Potash pelletization is a reliable and beneficial method of processing potash. In fact, it is gaining popularity with fertilizer manufacturers looking for a premium, refined product that delivers nutrients quickly. However, a lot of work is required in order to produce an optimal potash pellet. …
This week’s photo shows the expanded metal on a disc pelletizer (pan granulator). During pelletizing, a layer of build-up across the surface of the disc is needed to aid in pellet formation. This layer allows the pellets to roll on top of like material, which …
Gypsum, or calcium sulfate dihydrate, is a common element found worldwide. In fact, over 90 countries mine more than 110 million tons per year. Gypsum’s global prevalence is fortunate considering its versatility. It is a key ingredient in cement, plaster, and even building materials. Gypsum …
Our photo this week comes from the FEECO fabrication facility, where a large disc pelletizer is under production. Disc pelletizers, commonly referred to as pan pelletizers or pan granulators, are used to turn material fines into easy to handle pellets, and are often chosen for …
As the world leader in tumble growth agglomeration, FEECO provides a variety of services and equipment for iron ore pelletizer plants. As the needs of the steel industry change, one production component looks to be increasingly important in meeting the needs of the modern steel …
During the pursuit of an effective non-pressure agglomeration solution, the choice between a rotary drum and a disc pelletizer (also known as a pan granulator) often arises. To help determine the best equipment for your material and process, the following should be taken into consideration: …
Today’s photo highlights a disc pelletizer (pan granulator) project, showcasing FEECO’s scope of work from drawings by our drafters and design team, all the way through to robust equipment manufacturing. The equipment was produced for a repeat customer, and weighs over 53,000 pounds, stands 18 feet …
This week’s photo highlights a hooded disc pelletizer (also known as a pan granulator) in the FEECO Innovation Center. Hoods are occasionally used during disc pelletizer operation to protect the operator from hazardous materials. Maintaining a safe work environment is a top priority for any …
