This weekโs 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 …
There are many choices on the market when it comes to agglomeration equipment. Additionally, new uses are being developed all the time, making current equipment options increasingly flexible. Below, weโve provided a quick overview of some of the most common types of agglomeration equipment. Click …
Micro-pelletizing can be carried out in a pin mixer, or in a pin mixer/disc pelletizer (pan granulator) combination. Pin mixers alone often provide efficient results when full-scale pelletizing is not necessary, or when only smaller pellets or conditioning is needed. To begin, the pin mixer …
In 2015, the global fly ash market was estimated to be valued at 40 billion USD. A recent industry analysis by Research Nester anticipates the market will reach an estimated 70 billion USD by the end of 2023 – a 7.1% CAGR owing to increasing …
This weekโs photo highlights a pan pelletizerโs binder spray system. The spray system, or nozzles, are used to disperse binder. Non-pressure agglomeration technologies, such as pelletizing on a pan pelletizer (also known as a pan granulator or disc pelletizer), often requires the assistance of a …
This weekโs photo is a disc pelletizer from FEECOโs lab testing center. Disc pelletizers, also known as pan pelletizers or pan granulators, are a common piece of equipment used to agglomerate material fines. They utilize a โtumble growthโ agglomeration method to create pellets, and are …
Agglomeration is used throughout a variety of industries, from mining and minerals, to fertilizers and specialty chemicals, as a means of improving product characteristics and enhancing processing conditions. In addition to these benefits, agglomeration also solves a number of problems associated with material fines: Though …
This weekโs photo comes straight from FEECOโs lab, where a technician is examining pellets on a disc pelletizer (pan granulator). While processing a material, it is often necessary to stop and examine pellets, checking for uniform binder distribution, pellet size, and other factors, and then …
This weekโs photo shows synthetic gypsum pellets that were agglomerated in FEECOโs lab facility on a disc pelletizer. Disc pelletizers, also commonly referred to as pan pelletizers, are just one of the many options in agglomeration equipment at FEECO. Our line also includes paddle and …
Our photo this week is a disc pelletizer in action. Also known as a pan granulator or pan pelletizer, this agglomeration equipment transforms raw materials into round pellets. Hereโs how it works: material is fed onto a rotating pan, where it tumbles against itself in …
