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 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 …
This weekโs photo shows a 24 inch disc pelletizer (pan granulator) with a vibratory feeder, liquid storage tank, pump and movable base. This pelletizer was built for a proprietary company to use for testing purposes. In the process of disc pelletizing, raw material fines such …
There are many factors to consider when it comes to potash processing, particularly in choosing the method of granulation: pelletizing (wet granulation) or compaction. While both potash processing solutions yield successful product results, there are several dynamics that help determine the best-suited method for individual …
This week’s photo illustrates the before and after of pelletized recycled glass. Glass bound for reuse is taken from recycling bins to a glass treatment plant where, after sorting, it is crushed up to be made into new glass products. This crushed glass is referred …
