The pin mixer, a horizontal, continuous mixer, is perhaps most well known for the role for which it was originally developed: processing carbon black. In the carbon black industry, pin mixers provide a highly effective means of converting a dusty, difficult-to-handle material into small, dust-free …
Whether it is to prevent product loss, avoid health-related risks, or otherwise, managing fugitive dust is a key focus in nearly every industrial setting where bulk solids are handled. In fact, the crucial nature of dust suppression has caused it to evolve into an industry …
This week’s highlighted resource is an infographic on the benefits of agglomeration. Agglomeration, or particle size enlargement, is widely used to process bulk solids for improved performance, handling, appearance and more. This infographic covers the many economic, environmental, raw material, process, and product benefits that …
Originally developed to process carbon black, the pin mixer is an industrial mixer that has evolved to meet a variety of needs across many industries, making it a critical processing tool in producing everything from chemicals to minerals. The hugely successful and widespread use of …
Dust collectors serve a critical need in the industrial process setting, helping processors to keep workers safe, comply with regulatory requirements, ensure product integrity, and promote equipment longevity. And while baghouses, electrostatic precipitators, and other dust collection systems provide these benefits, processors are often left …
As the amount of arable land per capita declines in the face of a growing global population, the need to improve agricultural productivity is critical. At the same time, the inefficient use of fertilizer products has brought about several environmental issues with devastating effects on …
This week’s highlighted resource is a project profile on de-dusting fly ash with a pugmill mixer. Pug mills are widely used for conditioning fly ash – a dusty by-product of coal-fired power generation – into a more easily handled material that doesn’t become windblown upon …
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. …
From developing a new product, to optimizing an existing process, the agglomeration testing conducted in the FEECO Innovation Center provides a pivotal link between question and answer for producers looking at particle agglomeration as a way to solve their material challenges. The following information offers …
This week’s highlighted resource is a project profile pin mixers for coal dust suppression. Pin mixers are the preferred device for coal dust suppression via agglomeration. Having supplied over 90 pin mixers for this purpose, the profile highlights FEECO’s expertise in coal pin mixers. Click …
