Choosing a binder is one of the most important aspects of the agitation agglomeration (wet granulation) process. With implications on both the process and end use, selecting the appropriate binder requires careful consideration and often testing to evaluate different options. As the leading expert in …
What is Micro Pelletizing? Micro pelletizing is the process of agglomerating material fines into small pellets. Unlike traditional pelletizing, where slightly larger pellets are produced, micro pelletizing produces pellets around 20-60 mesh. Micro pelletizing can be carried out either in a stand-alone pin mixer (this …
Pin mixers and pugmill mixers are industrial mixing devices with each offering their own distinct advantages and capabilities. Oftentimes, the material itself dictates which piece of equipment is best for the operation at hand. Pug mills are used for mixing, agglomerating, and conditioning. They utilize …
Pelletizing is a method of agglomeration, or particle size enlargement, in which material fines are processed into pellets or granules. Pelletizing is used throughout a multitude of industries to process thousands of materials from difficult to handle powders and fines, into easy to handle pellets. …
The disc pelletizer, also known as a pan granulator, is a preferred approach to agitation agglomeration (wet granulation) for soil amendment producers, mineral processors, and chemical manufacturers, favored for its high on-size yield, ability to fine-tune product, and the premium round granules it produces. And …
Coating drums are increasingly being employed in production settings to improve the performance, handling qualities, and appearance of products ranging from fertilizers to roofing granules. As the industry’s leading custom coating drum manufacturer, we’re answering the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) we receive around these …
Our photo this week is a sample of coal fines. Coal is a reliable energy source used around the world, but its dusty form is less than desirable to process and transport. Low rank coals are especially problematic, as they generate large amounts of dust, …
Pin mixers offer an effective approach to mixing, de-dusting, and agglomerating solid and liquid feed components. What follows are some of the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) surrounding these diverse continuous mixers. How does a pin mixer work? A pin mixer consists of a horizontal …
